The Integra&body is composed of different stampings, offering improved strength and noise reduction characteristics. Furthermore, the software controlling the adaptive dampers has been fine-tuned.

In fact, Sport+ mode might now be the preferred choice at Lightning Lap, which Tony Quiroga opted against when setting the Type R&record time. The electric-power-steering assist maps have also been adjusted. While response remains incredibly sharp across all three drive modes, Comfort mode now offers slightly lighter steering effort than before.
