Acura has revealed a series of updates for the 2027 Integra Type S. However, the big news is that the brand will offer a special, limited-production Heritage Edition that pays homage to an icon from the Acura model history. The Heritage Edition boasts exclusive yellow paint and copper wheels along with a few additional retro cues. Acura says the 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition celebrates the 30-year anniversary of the original Integra Type R’s arrival in the U.S.
In the United States, the Integra Type S Heritage Edition will have a production of 700 examples. The 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition pays homage to the iconic DC2-generation Integra Type R that was first offered in the United States for the 1997 model year.
The 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition’s exclusive Blazing Phoenix Yellow paint is a modern take on the Phoenix Yellow offered on the 2000 Integra Type R. In fact, this is the first time that Acura has offered an Integra in yellow since the 2001 Type R.
The Heritage Edition also features exclusive 19-inch copper-finished alloy wheels and black Type S badges. The Heritage Edition’s wheels feature a 10-spoke design and measure 19 inches by 9.5 inches. The 2027 Integra Type S Heritage Edition’s interior continues with retro touches like an exclusive shift knob inspired by the one offered in the Japanese-market Integra Type R.
The Heritage Edition also features a redesigned Ebony interior with yellow accents. The seats feature yellow stitching and perforations, and the steering wheel, door panels, center console, and shifter boot also have yellow stitching.
For the 2027 model year, the standard Integra Type S features a few changes. Up front, the Integra Type S features gloss-black wheels and gloss-black mirror caps. It also has yellow Brembo brake calipers.
Inside, Acura has given the Integra Type S’s cabin a more extensive update. New dark gray trim is offered on the dashboard, door panels, shifter surround, and the interior door handles. The dashboard features a new diamond-pattern finish, and the climate control knobs have been changed to a gloss-black finish.
Acura has redesigned the standard upholstery options. The standard Ebony interior now features yellow perforation accents and stitching, while the optional Orchid interior features blue microsuede stripes. If you choose the Red interior, there are contrasting black microsuede accents. In addition, the 2027 Integra Type S comes standard with a driver’s memory seat, reverse tilt-down side mirrors, and a memory brake-hold feature.
Under the hood, Acura has left the Integra Type S unchanged. Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter VTEC four-cylinder engine that produces 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That’s sent to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission that features automatic rev-matching. There is also a limited-slip differential.
The 2027 Acura Integra Type S is priced from $54,600 or $55,995 including the $1,395 destination charge. The Heritage Edition commands a $2,300 premium, with a starting price of $56,900, or $58,295 including destination.
Acura will showcase the Heritage Edition publicly for the first time at the Super Street After Dark event in Santa Ana, California, on November 14. It will also be at the 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show from November 19 to November 29.
