1996 Honda Integra Type R DC2 96 Spec - B18C VTEC - Championship White - Japan

The Honda Integra Type R DC2 is widely regarded as the benchmark front-wheel-drive performance car of its generation. The 96 Spec — the first year of production — is the most sought-after variant, distinguished by its lighter weight, stiffer chassis, and closer attention to factory setup compared to later revisions. It is built around the B18C 1.8L DOHC VTEC engine, a close-ratio 5-speed gearbox, a factory helical limited-slip differential, and double wishbone suspension at all four corners. At 200 ps from a naturally aspirated 1.8L, it remains one of the highest specific outputs of any production engine of its era.

This example is finished in Championship White — the only colour available on the 96 Spec at launch — with the matching red Recaro interior. It carries a small number of performance modifications while remaining close to its original specification. Currently located in Japan.
