I might get this instead just so I don't have 2 CTRs.

Wish my Type-R had 3 pipes like that!

I don’t understand this mindset. The FK2 and FK8 are the outliers; every other Type R is understated and simple. NA1. DC2. EK9. CH1. DC5. EP3. FN2. All elegant, clean cars.

I totally agree with you on this. The type r I wanted as a kid was the 98 ITR which was very understated.

Are those tacked-on fender flares? A pity if they are... the clean, integrated flares of the FL5 would suit the ITS much better than an "aftermarket" tacked-on look

Making custom rear fenders and doors is hugely expensive.

The CTR is a world-car, sold in reasonable volume. Even then, the business case must have been marginal.

The ITS, on the other hand, is AFAIK an NA-only car. I don't think they expect to sell the volume needed to support custom rear fenders and doors.

That's disappointing and looks to be on the front and rear. Fk8 style I guess

Just played the sound clip of the 2024 Acura Integra Type S exhaust.
Twice. Okay, three times.

Let's hope the exhaust on the real production model actually sounds like that.

Got all excited when they released the FK8 teaser video back in 2017, only to discover the production model sounded nothing like it...

I'm really curious to see what bespoke chassis and body items carryover from the CTR.

If it's literally the base integra plus the K20C1 and brembos, it will probably be much softer and less rigid then the CTR.

I now realize why the us market ctr has no heated seats/wheel, moonroof, parking sensors etc., all of that will be on the type S instead.

Great for people to have options.

I don’t think so. Look at how the tail lights are in-set. They don’t look like that on regular Tegs. This tells me they did the wide body thing the right way with unique body panels, like they did on the FL5. You’re being deceived (teased) by the sharp fender lines shown, while not being shown how they integrate with the lower door sill area.

I’m kinda thinking the ITS exhaust will fit the FL5. I bet we’ll see folks doing it once parts are available to order.

No moonroof on ITS right? That's a plus for me.

TBH, I 100% fully expect the ITS to be EVERYTHING the CTR is (chassis and all), plus the creature comforts you mentioned. Seats will likely be “leather” too. It’ll surely have a track ready Type S mode and perhaps a more refined Comfort mode too. I’m betting that track performance will be very similar to the CTR, with a nod to the FL5 for being more of a focused track machine. However, if the added comfort and refinement are worth the premium to you (we know there are many who will never track their FL5’s anyway) then the ITS is perhaps the better choice, as more of a GT version FL5. That’s just how I see it panning out.

As I mentioned earlier, a nice thing will be (if it happens the way I believe it will) is that a large portion of the parts catalog should be inter-mixable between the FL5 and the ITS, which helps with parts availability for all. Just don’t go putting Type R badges on your ITS.

The rear bumper is unique to the ITS, the rear fenders do not appear to be.

Type R = 10/10 track prowess 8/10 creature comforts
Type S = 8/10 track prowess 10/10 creature comforts

pick your poison

Hmmm…
Good eye! I think you’re right! This might indeed indicate that those wider fenders are indeed flares…and not wide body panels. We need more details, but it’s not looking good for those hoping for a CTR-like wide body. I think the car will still look great regardless. Flares are kinda old school too. So if that’s what they are, then it fits the nostalgia.
