Acura Integra Prototype To Make First Public Appearance At RADwood SoCal Alongside Classics

In a further bid to appeal to fans of ’90s classics, Acura has chosen RADwood SoCal as the location for the public debut of the Integra Prototype. There, the thinly disguised production car will be displayed alongside several classic Integras.

First unveiled in an online event on November 11, the Integra Prototype serves as an indication of what Acura is planning for the upcoming Integra when the production version of the vehicle is ready to hit dealer showrooms in 2022.
