Acura Integra Type R – 1997-2001
The Integra badge makes a second appearance on our list, and there’s a reason this Type R isn’t lumped in with the other car. Distributed in very small numbers between 1997 and 2001, the Integra Type R was a performance coupe that essentially took the formula of the sporty GS-R, but received a decidedly more advanced treatment, especially under the hood with the naturally-aspirated 1.8L 4-cylinder, which still delivered 195 hp via a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
As an example of the uniqueness of this little car, the red zone on its tachometer started at 8,400 RPM.
For this and host of other reasons, not least of which its rarity, these days the few that are still around sell at a premium.
