The high-performance Acura Integra Type S has been honored as the Performance Car of the Year by the editors of Road & Track for its remarkable power, dynamic performance, and premium features and refinement. The versatile 5-door liftback claimed the top position in the Under $100k category, outshining significantly pricier and more potent rear-wheel drive coupes.
The 2024 Road & Track Performance Car of the Year accolade adds to the next-generation Integra’s impressive array of esteemed industry and media recognitions, including the prestigious 2023 North American Car of the Year and the Type S variant’s 2024 Car and Driver 10Best Cars award. This marks the second occasion that Acura has been lauded with a Road & Track Performance Car of the Year honor, with the Acura NSX clinching the title in 2017.
“We design Acura performance cars for driving aficionados, and it is a privilege to have our Integra Type S acknowledged with the Road & Track Performance Car of the Year award,” stated Emile Korkor, assistant vice president, Acura National Sales. “We take special pride in our development team in Japan and the production staff at our Marysville, Ohio plant for crafting a genuinely outstanding performance vehicle like the Integra Type S.”
About the Road & Track Performance Car of the Year Award
Now in its 11th year, the Road & Track Performance Car of the Year is selected after four days of rigorous testing on both road and track. The Road & Track editorial team assesses each car based on a blend of emotion, performance, and value. This year’s testing involved two days of laps on the 2-mile West course at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, California, followed by two days navigating the rural roads of northern California’s Napa Valley. For eligibility in the competition, cars had to be brand new or have undergone significant revisions for the 2024 model year.
