Honda stripped the US Integra Type R of airbags, A/C and its rear wiper to cut weight — but the extra chassis bracing clawed almost all of it back, leaving just 33 lb between the Type R and the ordinary GS-R.

FactHonda stripped the US Integra Type R of airbags, A/C and its rear wiper to cut weight — but the extra chassis bracing clawed almost all of it back, leaving just 33 lb between the Type R and the ordinary GS-R.
The Type R version of the third-generation Integra, introduced to the Japanese market in 1995 with a 200 PS factory-tuned B18C: a hand-built engine with hand-polished and ported intake ports, high-compression pistons and undercut valves, a close-ratio five-speed and a helical limited-slip differential, plus a strengthened chassis with extra spot welds, weight reduction (less sound insulation, a 10 percent thinner windscreen, lighter wheels) and suspension upgrades. The 1996–97 spec could delete airbags, air conditioning and other equipment. The rev limiter was 8,600 rpm in Japan, 8,500 in the US and 8,700 in the UK. The 1998 Spec R brought a redesigned rear bumper, 16-inch wheels, bigger brakes and a 4-1 header, the 2000 Spec R a revised intake cam, and the mid-2000 Type Rx folding mirrors, a clock and blue carbon trim. It was the only Type R ever sold in North America with the Acura badge (1997–98 and 2000–01), and Honda sold the four-headlight version as a Honda in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Japan's Best Motoring pitted it against the fastest 4WD turbo cars, and Evo named it "the greatest front-wheel-drive performance car ever".

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
