The tell-tail signs? At the front, the rather purposeful looking vent in the bonnet, echoing a similar treatment on the Civic Type R. At the side, broadened arches accommodating the enhanced Type R chassis. At the rear, three large exhausts in the centre, trumpeting the same tune as the Type R.
Otherwise, in terms of looks, it’s all new Integra, which is to say it’s a hatchback-come-saloon coupe with a swooping rear end and sharp lighting. Being the sporty Type S, it also gets a fairly substantial diffuser, an aggressive front bumper and as above, puffed-out arches. Indeed the ‘Teg Type S is a full 3.5 and 1.9 inches wider in track than the standard car at the front and back respectively. The Type S is 2.8-inches wider at the fenders (arches) in general and they’re filled by 19-inch wheels available in a copper metallic spec. In the wing department, there’s very little to speak of, which is no bad thing by our reckoning. A token lip on the boot adds sportiness without being garish. If you want a little extra, carbon bits for the boot lid and mirror caps are available.
