As part of the announcement, the company unveiled a prototype of the fifth-generation Integra model, which will be delivered as a five-door fastback priced from $30,000. So far, Honda has only released a few details about the new vehicle. What we do know is that the all-new Integra will come equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter VTEC engine, marking the first time that a forced induction set-up has been integrated into an Integra model. In addition, the car will feature a manual six-speed gearbox, 19-inch wheels, and high-performance Brembo Brakes. According to the company, the new fastback is a "gateway performance model," meaning it is an accessible, reasonably priced vehicle with some high-performance elements.
