New Integra sets hot four benchmark
TOKYO h Honda Motor Co today took the wraps off its new high-performance Integra h heralding the first full Integra model change in eight years.
On sale today, the new Integra captures Honda's core design principles of style, performance, high safety and low environmental impact.
Honda developed two new models simultaneously h the iS and race-inspired Type R h with a highly rigid body developed to enhance the Integra's sporting capabilities.
The Type R is powered by a 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine developed for superior intake and exhaust efficiency. Capable of producing a maximum power output of 164kW, the Type R engine is matched to a new close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission.
The Type R engine combines Honda's VTEC technology with VTC (Variable Timing Control). A short single-passage isometric intake manifold ensures optimum intake inertia even at high engine speeds. Dual exhaust manifolds, larger port diameter, variable-valve silencer, and other measures contribute to reduced exhaust resistance. The new i-VTEC engine is also around 10kg lighter than the superseded 1.8-litre Type R engine.
The Integra Type R gearbox uses multiple synchronizing cones for all gears, including a triple-cone synchronizer in 1st and 2nd gears and a double-cone synchronizer in 3rd through 6th gears h a world first for the 2.0-litre class.
Honda has also improved shift feel and gear selection by developing a reverse gear gate closing control mechanism that responds to vehicle speed.
An ultra-lightweight forged chrome-molybdenum steel flywheel reduces inertial mass by 30 per cent compared to the previous generation Integra, resulting in sharper response and improved acceleration.
The Type R clutch has a torsion mechanism that minimises speed change when rotary power is transferred from the engine to the transmission. The Type R also features a torque inductionhtype helical Limited Slip Differential.
The new transmission is 20mm shorter and 2.5kg lighter than the 5-speed gearbox it replaces.
Honda has used highly durable materials to build the connecting rods and high-rigidity crankshaft for high-speed engine operation.
A new suspension package h featuring front Toe Control Link Strut Suspension and Rear Reactive Link Double Wishbone Suspension h has been developed for linear response to driver input. Special components including greater front knuckle rigidity, larger rear stabilizers, harder damper mounts and bushing parts, a more rigid steering system and larger, high-performance tyres improve the new Integra Type R's cornering abilities.
Aluminum front lower arms and rear brake calipers and lightweight wheels contribute to lightened unspring mass, resulting in lighter handling and response.
The Type R's front brakes have been jointly developed with Brembo. Aluminum opposed 4-piston caliper brakes and large-diameter pillar-type discs with superior heat dissipation help reduce brake fade. Additional brake cooling ducts and a ventilated splash guard also help improve brake cooling.
Other features h including Recaro bucket front seats and MOMO genuine leatherhcovered steering wheel h add to the Type R's race-style performance.
The new Integra Type R is also fitted with front spoiler, side sill trim, rear underskirt and rear spoiler. Lightweight aluminium materials are used for the pedal pads, footrest, shifter ****, handbrake and console paneling.
Honda has increased bending rigidity by 35 per cent and torsional rigidity by 116 per cent compared to the previous-generation Integra Type R.
The body of the Type R adds a rear aluminum bumper beam, front strut tower bar, and rear damper cassette for even greater body strength. The front bumper beam and other parts have been replaced with aluminum parts to reduce weight.
While designed for style and function, the Integra iS still delivers strong performance with a 119kW 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine.
The iS engine uses Honda's VTEC technology to keep one intake valve nearly closed during low speed operation, combined with VTC (Variable Timing Control). A rotary valvehequipped isometric intake manifold maintains optimum intake inertia.
A newly developed 5-speed manual transmission uses a triple-cone synchronizer in 1st and 2nd gear for improved shift feel, while the redesigned clutch system incorporates newly developed clutch lining materials.
Optional is a new direct-control sequential shift 5-speed automatic transmission for sporty driving.
The new Integra has streamlined, aerodynamic styling with arrowhead-shaped contours. Four multi-reflector headlights are set into the Integra's V-shaped nose, while sporty barrel-shaped taillights feature at the rear.
The Integra has a driver-oriented cockpit-style interior - the control switches, shifter **** and steering wheel are shaped to match driver movement and promote ease of movement. The dashboard has four independent dials with red illuminated characters for better visibility at night.
The iS has sporty one-piece front bucket seats with integrated head rests. Rear seat area is spacious enough to comfortably fit two adults, while the Integra has a flat rear cargo area thanks to its compact rear suspension.
The iS uses sound-blocking and sound-absorbing materials around the boot and other methods to reduce noise within the interior.
The new Integra body incorporates Honda's G-CON impact-absorption technology, raising the Integra's collision safety to the highest world standards. Crash testing included frontal full-wrap collision at 55 km/h, frontal offset collision at 64 km/h, side collision at 55 km/h, and rear collision at 50 km/h.
Honda also carried out independent car-to-car crash tests that were designed to simulate conditions considerably harsher than those found in conventional stationary-barrier testing.
Honda has expanded its pedestrian safety technologies on the new Integra to include lower body and leg protection. A low-impact head-protecting interior is designed to reduce collision-related passenger injuries. Driver and front-passenger SRS airbags and ISOFIX child seat restraint anchor bars are included as standard equipment.
For the first time, the Integra meets LEV standards. HC and NOx exhaust emissions have been significantly reduced, resulting in emissions values 50 per cent lower than levels set by 2000 regulations, giving the Integra the Japanese Ministry of Transport's "Low Emissions Excellence" award.
Highly recyclable olefin-based materials have been used for nearly all injection-molded interior parts, making the Integra more than 90 per cent recyclable.
Honda Motor has targeted domestic sales of 1,000 units per month.
Honda Australia will begin selling the new Integra in the last quarter of 2001.
