Acura is headed to this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with a bevy of racecars.

The livery on this is 🔥🔥🔥
Stock powertrain though the exhaust looks modified, along with the suspension, brakes, wheels, HPD diff, seats, cage... and those yellow door jambs!! Mercy.
I LOVE the 80s inspired livery here! It'll be interesting to see what time the car does with stock power.
As for the cars themselves, Acura provided the greatest detail on the Integra. Modifications include upgraded brakes, new suspension, an HPD differential, wider (and lighter) 18-inch HRE wheels and 245-section-width Pirelli slick tires. The 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed manual transmission remain untouched, so it’ll be heading up the hill with the stock 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. However, we’ll note the this Integra is sporting some extra-large exhaust tips out the rear, so Acura has clearly done something with the exhaust.
Awesome, thank you so much for posting this! Not a lot of action on the livestream, so I’m stoked to see that they’ve put up some of the in-car and mounted GoPro footage. Fantastic stuff!
The car looked sweet, although they changed up the wheels and tires, presumably because of the conditions which totally makes sense.
