Italian to English translation:

For who it loves the cars sport, the Integral Type-R is a po' like the country of the toys. Already externally extension grinta and a such badness that is difficult to resist to the temptation of poterla guiding. Then, enough to open the shop in order to remain without words in front of those black, large seats like of the thrones, with written the red Recaro in beautiful evidence that they make to feel them you I embrace protecting not as soon as it decreases to you (is the exact term for this car) in the nside. The guide place is entusiasmante, with flying to three razze covered in skin in the just position and low the beautifulst gear lever with the knurl in titanium that offers one most pleasant feeling to the tact. The pedal-key is not just the maximum, considering that the pedals rather are distanced: we would have preferred little space between the brake and the accelerator in order to carry out the tip-heel comfortably. System VTEC allows to guide calmly also with the motor to 2000 giri/min and the distribution remains cleaned up and linear until the 9000 giri/min! The " change of the guard " in the unit distribution is perceptible for the dry change of the tonality of the motor to 5700 giri/min (but on the contagiri we read 6000 giri/min because of the imprecisione of the instrument). The sound of the four Honda cylinders changes in radical way to the point to make to fear for integrity of the motor. The clean feeling of a mechanical breach is had, but feeling that the continuous propeller to take to turns with a entusiasmante speed and a " worthy musical accompanyment " of V8, convinces to us that the Honda has created something of diabolic. To see the facility with which the needle of the contagiri arrives gladly to quota 9000 in whichever march is indeed one show not to lose.



We have noticed that anyone is gone up on the Integral Type-R, like leading or fleeting, ne is come down with a sorriso that difficultly it was detached from the ace. It will be the joy, the emotion, you will say you. But I have one leggermente various theory, supported from the experience. Trying the acceleration in before and second march of a maximoto sport I did not succeed to withhold a sorriso that it increased as went up the regimen of spin. It was not a sorriso of simple happiness. The acceleration therefore was exaggerated and extended that under the helmet one was get loosed nearly risata isterica, like if the brain did not succeed in capacitarsi of the speed to which the images in front of the eyes were ollowed. What it astonishes, on the Integral one, is the fluid progression, powerful and inexhaustible, only stopped from the limiter around to the 9000 giri/min read on the instrumentation. As far as the order, to the low unconnected deep speeds on us becomes account of the rigidity of the suspensions, but to next speeds to the 200 km/h they are perceived of the lightenings on posterior, the never dangerous, but however evitabili ones. The behavior of the retrotreno is also much sensitive one to the cargo variations of the car, but in effects... the same Honda says that the Integral one is conceived for the pleasure of the pilot... For the sollicitations that are produced in track, he would be preferibile a more rigid order with one various calibration of the shocks-absorber. To confirmation of these impressions, we have found an optimal behavior on the bathed track (or more just flooded) than Magione. Between the cars in test the Integral one turned out that balanced more and thanks to the autobloccante differential succeeded to unload high power of the motor without too many difficulties dulling times of all respect.
