Following in the wake of the cutting-edge rear-wheel drive NSX supercar, the Japanese domestic market was introduced to a similar performance-oriented front-wheel drive sports car in 1995. The factory-tuned, hand-built B18C engine in the Integra Type R produced nearly 200 horsepower and was paired with a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission and a helical-type limited-slip differential. To cope with the power, the chassis was strengthened, and extra spot welds and thicker metal were added around the rear shock towers and lower subframe. The vehicle's overall weight was reduced with lighter wheels, a 10 percent thinner windscreen, and reduced sound installation.
