2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

[optronix]

I don't have any answers. I was super skeptical of this topic when it was first brought up on the Integra forums a couple weeks ago, but it's apparently been confirmed.

I'm still waiting on the HRC parts that were supposedly confirmed like, 2 years ago too though.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Watch them release the HRC parts after the cars go out of production

Woweee, more than double the price in Japan, wonder what that means for the US?

Don't know if I'd pay 90k for an aero and exhaust package

Any chance he can identify if there are any of the mentioned changes to the interior/exterior ?

He quickly looked at it from the outside and didn't notice any changes. Not sure if he checked out the interior.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up to speed on the mentioned changes, but what are they supposed to be?

If it really has engine tweaks and all that other stuff, $65k sounds about right. It'll probably keep its value like the M3 Lightweight.

Love the Japan black package.

To date I don't think anything has been specified exactly-

Feels illegal to change out the signature red interior all Type R's have.

Though the black really does look nice.

Yeah I'd probably not pay for it since the red looks great too.

Our Tuxmat floor mats completely cover the red carpet, which kinda sucks but the full coverage is kinda nice.

I'd like the parts that don't normally come in alcantara from the black edition. But I wouldn't want to lose any of the red.

There is no difference between the MY25 and MY26 FL5 Type R. The updates Honda mentioned will be on the MY27 FL5. Get whichever year you can get for cheaper, dealers are more likely to sell a MY25 for MSRP or less.
