The 1995 Honda Integra Type R is considered the benchmark for all FWD cars. In Japan, it’s revered as one of the best sports cars of the ‘90s. British sports-car enthusiast magazine Evo even called it “the greatest front-wheel-drive performance car ever.”
We couldn’t agree more, so we recreated this legendary performer in exacting detail for fans of Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars.
“The people that love these cars care about the subtle differences,” said Hot Wheels designer Brendon Vetuskey. “I know they’ll appreciate that we made the JDM version instead of the USDM version.”
One distinction is the Honda nameplate instead of the Acura nameplate. “This is the Honda version and not Acura,” said Vetuskey. “The one sold in Japan uses the core brand of Honda, while Acura is a brand offered in the U.S.”
But we didn’t stop at just the nameplate. Other features include a right-hand drive and a Japanese spec front end, giving this model different headlights and front bumper than the Acura model.
To make it even more authentic, we matched the iconic Championship White factory finish with a white, non-Spectraflame enamel. The hubs have even been painted white, just like in Japan.
Our 1:64 scale model is the perfect homage to the 1995 Honda Integra Type R. This classic JDM car is available exclusively to Red Line Club members at MattelCreations.com while it lasts.
