duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 2001 Acura Integra Type R, offered as part of a limited 2-hour duPont Drop flash sale. Finished in factory Phoenix Yellow over an Ebony interior, this highly original example is chassis #558 of just 1,158 units produced for the 2001 U.S. market. Showing approximately 30,450 miles, it is powered by Acura’s legendary 1.8-liter VTEC four-cylinder paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Preserved with tasteful period-correct modifications and a clean Carfax history, this increasingly collectible Type R represents one of the most iconic front-wheel-drive performance cars ever built.

The 2001 Acura Integra Type R represents the pinnacle of Honda and Acura’s front-wheel-drive engineering philosophy during the golden era of Japanese performance cars. Developed with a relentless focus on weight reduction, chassis rigidity, and driver engagement, the Type R transformed the already capable Integra platform into a precision-focused machine engineered for both the street and circuit. Today, it remains widely regarded as one of the finest handling front-wheel-drive cars ever produced, earning legendary status among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

At the heart of the Type R is the hand-assembled B18C5 1.8-liter DOHC VTEC four-cylinder engine, renowned for its high-revving character, razor-sharp throttle response, and motorsport-inspired engineering. Paired with a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission and a factory limited-slip differential, the powertrain delivers an exceptionally connected driving experience while maximizing grip and cornering performance. Complementing the drivetrain are four-wheel disc brakes, a sport-tuned suspension setup, and a rear strut tower bar, all contributing to the car’s famously communicative chassis dynamics.

Finished in the iconic and highly desirable Phoenix Yellow exterior paint, this Integra Type R retains many of the model-specific features that distinguish it from the standard Integra lineup. Exterior highlights include the Type R-exclusive aerodynamic package with front and rear spoilers, lightweight 15-inch alloy wheels, Type R badging, paint-matched power mirrors, and the signature electric expandable radio antenna. The aggressive yet understated styling perfectly reflects the car’s lightweight performance-focused mission.

Inside, the cabin remains purpose-built and driver-oriented while retaining the simplicity that defines the Type R experience. The Ebony interior features Type R-exclusive upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum shift knob, power windows and door locks, air conditioning, and an Acura AM/FM stereo with CD player. A Type R plaque mounted on the center console further reinforces the car’s exclusivity and collector appeal.

As demand for highly original Japanese performance cars continues to rise, the Integra Type R has emerged as one of the most sought-after modern classics of its era. Low-mileage U.S.-market examples, particularly in Phoenix Yellow, have become increasingly difficult to find due to limited production numbers and years of enthusiast ownership. Showing approximately 30,450 miles and accompanied by original ownership documents, this exceptionally preserved 2001 Acura Integra Type R stands as a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the defining analog driver’s cars of the modern Japanese performance era.
