The Integra variant will become the first Acura-branded vehicle sold in Japan as the brand marks its 40th anniversary.
The Acura Integra Type S is built only at the Marysville Auto Plant, using domestic and globally made parts.
The K20C engine within the Integra Type S is built exclusively at the Anna engine plant about an hour’s drive north of Dayton, the plant that also produces the engine that powers the Civic Type R, also exported to Japan.
“Building Acura models in America for the past 30 years has been a source of immense pride, and now exporting the American‑built Integra Type S to Japan takes that pride to a new level,” said Jun Jayaraman, senior vice president of the Manufacturing Management Center at Honda Development & Manufacturing of America. “Our Ohio associates pour their expertise and passion into every vehicle, and we’re excited for customers in Japan to experience the performance they create.”
The engine plant in Anna employs 2,800 workers. Honda also makes its Acura NSX supercar at its Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville.
