Acura is participating in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for the 13th consecutive year. As usual, the automaker is bringing some special vehicles for the race.

The debut of the new Integra Type S will take place at Pikes Peak this year. This Integra, built by the Honda Of America Racing Team (HART) with Honda Performance Development (HPD) parts, features a custom hood, front splitter, rear wing, and 19-inch wheels with Yokohama Advan A005 tires. It also has a Borla exhaust system.

One of the key highlights is the Integra’s livery, which is based on the anime Chiaki’s Journey. The car will be driven by fourth-generation race car driver Loni Unser.

Four other Acura vehicles will race alongside the Integra Type S at Pikes Peak. The field includes a HART-modified Integra 1.5T, a TLX Type S, a TLX Type S PMC Edition, and an NSX Type S Active Aero Study.

The NSX Type S is nicknamed “Yamabiko,” after a mythological mountain spirit in Japanese folklore. It was designed by HART’s skunkworks division called “Crazy New” to maximize aerodynamic performance at Pikes Peak. The NSX Type S features custom carbon fiber bodywork, a dynamic rear wing, and is lighter than the stock NSX. It will be driven by Honda engineer and experienced Pikes Peak racer James Robinson.

The Pikes Peak Hill Climb will take place on June 25th, lasting throughout the weekend. The course covers 12.4 miles with 156 turns, culminating at a 14,115-foot summit.
