Need for Speed: Underground
The Acura Integra Type R is unlocked in Need for Speed: Underground after completing Underground Mode event #53 - "Go Jose".
The car has mediocre acceleration and can reach a higher top speed than most cars, but it can suffer from understeer whilst cornering.
Need for Speed: Underground features a highly modified variant of the Integra Type R, which is branded as "Vortex". It can be driven at the beginning of the Underground Mode during a dream sequence and is unlockable for Quick Race once the player has collected 46,000 style points.
Need for Speed: Underground 2
The Integra Type-R can be found in the game files of Need for Speed: Underground 2 with vinyl, manufacturer, and secondary logo textures referencing the car.
Need for Speed: ProStreet
The Acura Integra Type R appears in Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 2 car costing $24,000 and is unlocked after the player successfully completes the Showdown: Chicago event.
It is one of the fastest front-wheel drive cars, thanks to its low weight. The Type R is a nimble car and therefore best utilised in Grip.
