RealTime is offering a 2001 Integra Type R with very low mileage. They are experts in Acura and Honda cars. NSXs with low numbers are already selling for a lot of money so that this model could be Acura’s next big hit. Since its release, the Type R has won numerous touring car awards, and RealTime has come to be synonymous with the car. Fans of modern Japanese classics are on the lookout for other cars that might sell for more than $1 million, like the Acura NSX did at auction. You don’t even have to look outside of Acura’s lineup because the Integra Type R has always been very expensive, even though it has front-wheel drive. A number of low-mileage cars have sold for more than six figures in the past, and one that is currently for sale could set a new record. The story depends on where this Integra came from, even though it has low miles and the right color. It is part of the RealTime Collection Hall, a museum in California that only has the best old Acuras and Hondas, both race cars and regular cars. RealTime Racing was started by Peter Cunningham, who is a famous professional racer in his own right. Many people think that the RealTime Integra Type R racers’ best season was from 1997 to 2002, when they won a lot of World Challenge Touring Car titles and Acura’s first four manufacturer’s championships in the competition. A Phoenix Yellow 2001 Integra Type R is being sold at auction by the RealTime collection. The mileage reading is only 4800 miles. It is also the best road car you can buy because it has been carefully kept by race car professionals who know how to take care of these kinds of cars. The Integra Type S is a great car in its own right, but it’s very different from the Type R it replaces and carries Acura’s present modest performance flag. The first hot Integra was one of Honda’s technical wonders. Shigeru Uehara was a close friend of F1 legend Ayrton Senna and also made the NSX and S2000. Under Uehara’s direction, all of the Type R’s 1.8-liter engine’s fancy features were taken away to save weight. This engine had 195 horsepower and could rev to 8400 rpm. Overall, it felt like Acura took a car that was already great to drive and made it even better by adding five espressos to it. The good Integra GS-R was stronger and lighter than this one. The experience of driving a Type R is simply unmatched by today’s more modern cars. The feel of it is just as important as the speed. In the “they don’t build them like this anymore” group, this fits right in. For this kind of thing, you need to pay extra. People who collect cars will be paying close attention to how much this high-end Acura is being asked for. It’s likely too important to history to really gain value as a museum-quality item. But even one lap in a Type R is an experience you’ll never forget.
