Even if not, if you want a Civic Si with the convenience of a liftback, the Integra is as close as you'll get, and that will be reason enough for some to choose it. That's the same phrasing Honda uses to describe the engine in the Civic Si sedan, but we hope Acura squeezes a bit more power relative to that car's 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet (149 kilowatts and 260 newton-meters). Though unconfirmed officially, the Integra Prototype probably will ride on the Civic hatch's chassis, powered by a 'high-output' turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder. Acura’s True Touchpad Interface might show up, or the Integra could make use of a reskinned version of the Honda Civic’s intuitive infotainment, replete with a 9.0-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We presume it'll use the lovely Civic as a jumping-off point, dressed up a bit with the TLX's wing-like, contrast-color lower dash, as well as softer materials throughout the cabin.

Since it’s a design exercise, the Acura Integra Prototype we saw in person doesn’t actually have an interior. Still, those hoping for a retro redux will be disappointed the Integra Prototype doesn't stray further from the Civic's general proportions. Even the Indy Yellow color is intended to recall the Integra Type R's Phoenix Yellow. However, Acura did a good job of dressing up the Integra, with a clean front end thanks to the frameless grille and a hood that somewhat recalls the second-generation Integra with how it integrates into the bumper and fenders. The front and rear bumpers also get retro-inspired “INTEGRA” logos embossed into the plastic.Ī longish front overhang, small dash-to-axle ratio, and arching roofline betray the Civic hatchback that likely hides behind those Acura-spec design cues. A crisp line rises from the front wheel arch, cutting through the front door and giving the profile some aggression without ruining the Integra’s clean design. Sweeping taillights with a notched internal design appear on either side of an aggressive fastback rear hatch. That means LED headlamps with chicane-shaped signature lighting bookending an angular “Diamond Pentagon” grille up front. Kickstarter connects creators with backers to fund projects. This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Sat, Decem5:00 AM UTC +00:00. Like the first-generation Integra from 1986, the Prototype will take the form of a liftback sedan, though clearly modernized with current Acura styling cues. A functional and authentic Batsuit prototype, designed to offer high mobility, comprehensive protection, and high-tech functionality.
