How fast is the Acura Integra A?
The Acura Integra lineup does not include an official model called "Integra A." Performance varies by trim, with the base Integra and Integra A-Spec delivering practical sportiness, and the high-performance Integra Type S delivering the strongest acceleration. In general, base models run roughly 6.5–7.0 seconds to 60 mph, while the Type S can dip into the low 3-second range, with top speeds typically between about 130 mph and 168 mph depending on the variant and conditions.
Clarifying the model and what “fast” means
To understand what you’re asking, it helps to know which variant you have in mind. The current Acura Integra lineup commonly includes the base Integra, the sport-oriented Integra A-Spec, and the high-performance Integra Type S. Each uses a different powertrain and tuning, which strongly influences acceleration, top speed, and overall speed perception on the road.
Speed by trim
Before listing the figures, note that performance can vary by model year, test conditions, and equipment such as tires and gearing. The following figures reflect widely cited manufacturer and independent test data for recent Integra versions.
- Base Integra: approximately 0–60 mph in 6.5–7.0 seconds; top speed around 130–140 mph.
- Integra A-Spec: similar to the base in practical acceleration, typically around 6.3–7.0 seconds for 0–60 mph; top speed about 130–140 mph.
- Integra Type S: significantly quicker, with 0–60 mph around 3.3–3.6 seconds; top speed around 168 mph (tests vary slightly by year and tuning).
In short, the A-Spec trim principally sharpens handling and appearance rather than delivering a dramatic 0–60 improvement over the base model. The Type S represents the clear performance leap in the lineup.
What affects acceleration and top speed
A number of factors influence real-world speed and sprint times. Engine output, weight, tire grip, aerodynamic drag, gearing, and launch technique all play roles. Even within the same trim, different tire compounds or road conditions can shift 0–60 times by tenths of a second or more. Manufacturer-reported numbers are useful benchmarks, while actual on-road performance can differ.
Is there an official “Integra A” designation?
There is no current official Acura designation named “Integra A.” The well-known performance-oriented variant is the Integra Type S, while the standard model and the sport-tuned A-Spec trim comprise the rest of the lineup. If you’re looking at a specific market or model year, I can pull the exact specifications for that version.
Summary
For most buyers, the base Integra and Integra A-Spec offer solid everyday performance with 0–60 mph times in the mid to upper six-second range and top speeds around 130–140 mph. The Integra Type S stands out as a true performer, delivering 0–60 mph in the low to mid 3-second range and a top speed near 168 mph. Since “Integra A” isn’t an official trim, confirming the exact variant (base, A-Spec, or Type S) is key to pinning down the precise speed figures.
