- Not to be confused with Honda INTEGRA TYPE R Touring Car, based on the pre-facelift model.
The Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (DC5) Touring Car '04, known in GT5 as Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (DC5) RM '04, is a race car based on the Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (DC5) '04. It appears in Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6.
In-game description[]
"The world’s premier front-wheel drive sportscar, tuned specially by Gran Turismo."
This is an original tuned model created by "Gran Turismo", based on the Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (2004).
The following is the description of the base model.
The Integra Type R appearing in 2001 was the first Type R of the 21st century. Type R's until then were a model that Honda tuned based on a completed existing model, but for this car, the development of the Integra itself was performed with consideration for what performance would befit the Type R. It is different than the previous Type R's in that it is a full-on, preplanned sports model.
Because of this, its specifications are quite stoic, omitting even things like the sound insulation, but they have made efforts to reduce noise and vibration as much as possible to secure a certain level of comfort.
The driving performance of the car was greatly improved over its predecessors. It was powered by a new generation K20A, 2L DOHC inline 4 cylinder i-VTEC engine, producing 217 BHP and 151.8 lb-ft torque. This is matched with a lightweight flywheel to improve response, and the gearbox is a close-ratio 6 speed MT with newly developed multi-cone synchro gears. The suspension utilizes struts in the front, and double wishbones in the rear, and it was the first Honda to utilize Brembo brakes. The standard tire size is 215/45ZR17.
The level of its driving performance leaves behind all other FF cars in the world. The cornering is always stable, and having a high level of freedom in corners that is even better than a typical FR, it allows the driver to change orientation of the car at their will. It has plenty of traction at corner exits, and the road holding characteristics of the tires are so high that you can still steer coming out of the turn. Though normally you would need to "wait" to open the throttle when cornering in an FF car, you don't need to in the INTEGRA TYPE R.
The Integra Type R could easily be called the best FF sports car in the world, but with the decline in coupe sales in Japan, it unfortunately ceased production in July of 2006.
