Super TestCar reviews - Honda - Integra - Type R 3-dr hatchHonda modelsEngine6 Feb 2001 By P TIBBLES TYPE-R's high-revving 1797cc DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder produces an impressive 141kW at 7900rpm and 178Nm at 6300rpm. It uses Honda's VTEC system, which works via a special camshaft arrangement which actuates high-lift lobes above 6000rpm. Claimed 0-100km/h figures put the R at 6.7 seconds, though independent tests have been about a second slower. City fuel economy figures point to 9.0L/100km, but the car uses premium unleaded. Did you know?Honda's VTEC system - which the Type-R uses - stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control and is designed to increase power and torque as well as economyAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
