The Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) team has shaved off weight, added horsepower, enhanced dynamics, and given the exterior a more aggressive look, achieving something truly remarkable.
But no high-performance vehicle is complete without a braking system capable of taming all that power.
“Every aspect of the Integra Type S HRC Prototype screams performance; everything is functional. If a component doesn’t add performance, then it’s not there.”

All or nothing
The braking system of the Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype has been developed to deliver high performance under all conditions, featuring a front setup with 15-inch (380 mm) two-piece floating rotors paired with six-piston monobloc calipers.
This configuration ensures optimal heat dissipation, which is crucial for preventing fade during extended track sessions or more aggressive driving conditions.
Every detail of the HRC has been designed with lightness in mind. The extensive use of advanced composite materials and carbon fiber results in a big weight saving.
And when it comes to overall weight, the braking systems play a key role. The calipers are made from a special aluminum alloy and feature a structurally optimized body that combines increased stiffness with strategically placed material, only where it’s needed, to eliminate every unnecessary gram while still delivering top-level performance.
"Every detail is aimed at pure performance."
