In the long story of cars that people remember with affection, Acura has chosen to look backward before moving forward. Its 2027 Integra Type S now comes in a Heritage Edition wrapped in Phoenix Yellow, a deliberate nod to the DC2 Integra Type R that many enthusiasts still regard as a peak of front-wheel-drive performance. The reporting so far arrives as a scattering of headlines, with an approximate price near $58,000 and little else, leaving the deeper particulars for later.
2027 Acura Integra Type S Heritage Edition Revives DC2 Type R Style in Phoenix Yellow
Acura is borrowing a memory on purpose
Mark
Why is a yellow paint job getting this much attention?
Mimi
Because it isn't just yellow. Phoenix Yellow is tied to the DC2 Integra Type R, a car enthusiasts still revere. Acura is borrowing that memory on purpose.
Mark
And the price?
Mimi
MotorTrend puts it around $58,000, framing the Heritage Edition as a pricey nod to the DC2.
Luke
Worth being careful there. That figure is attributed to MotorTrend. The material here doesn't show Acura's own confirmed pricing, so I'd treat it as reported, not final.
Mark
What actually makes the Heritage Edition different from a normal Type S?
Luke
That's the gap. We know the color and the retro theme. Whether there are mechanical changes or just appearance items isn't in what we have.
Mimi
Which is why the headlines read as tribute rather than upgrade.
Mark
Is it limited?
Luke
Unknown. No production numbers are given, so anyone calling it rare is guessing.
Mimi
The thing to watch is whether other Integra variants get the same treatment.
Mark
And the Dai Yoshihara piece?
Luke
It's a Yahoo Autos headline about him driving the Type S. Nothing here ties it directly to the Heritage Edition.

In the long story of cars that people remember with affection, Acura has chosen to look backward before moving forward.

Acura has given its 2027 Integra Type S a new face, and it is a bright one. The Heritage Edition arrives in Phoenix Yellow, a color tied to the DC2 Integra Type R, the generation that many enthusiasts still count among the great front-drive performance cars. Rather than inventing a fresh identity, Acura is reaching into its own past and asking the car to remember where it came from.
The news reached the public through a cluster of headlines from major automotive outlets rather than one detailed announcement. Road & Track described the Integra Type S going retro, Car and Driver noted the updated Type S beneath the theming, and Acura's own newsroom framed the trim as a tribute to the Type R. The one concrete figure came from MotorTrend, which pegged the Heritage Edition near $58,000, placing it toward the upper end of the Integra range.
What the coverage does not yet show is how much separates this edition from a standard Type S beyond paint and styling, or how many will be built. Those answers will decide whether the Heritage Edition is a single nostalgic gesture or the first step toward heritage trims across the Integra lineup.
Acura has put a new trim on the 2027 Integra Type S, and it comes wrapped in Phoenix Yellow. Called the Heritage Edition, it is styled as a tribute to the DC2 Integra Type R, the car many enthusiasts still hold up as the high-water mark for front-drive performance.
The news surfaced as a cluster of headlines from major automotive outlets rather than a single detailed announcement. Road & Track framed it as the Integra Type S going retro in blazing Phoenix Yellow for 2027. Car and Driver described a model that turns back the clock with retro theming, and noted that the Type S itself has been updated for the new model year. Acura's own newsroom carried a headline saying the Heritage Edition pays tribute to the iconic Integra Type R.
The number attached to it comes from MotorTrend, which called the Heritage Edition a $58,000 nod to the DC2. That figure is the one concrete price in the coverage, and it places the trim in the upper range for the Integra lineup. Yahoo Autos, meanwhile, ran a separate item about Dai Yoshihara taking the Acura Integra Type S to the streets, though the material available does not spell out how that piece connects to the Heritage Edition.
The DC2 reference carries weight. The DC2 was the Integra Type R generation, and Phoenix Yellow is the color associated with it. By choosing that paint and building a trim around the lineage, Acura is leaning on a specific piece of its own history rather than inventing a new identity for the car.
The available reporting is thin on specifics. The headlines establish the name, the color, the DC2 inspiration, the 2027 model year and the approximate price. They do not detail what, beyond paint and theming, distinguishes the Heritage Edition from a standard Type S, nor do they say how many will be built.
That leaves several questions open: whether the roughly $58,000 price is confirmed as the final figure, how limited production will be, and whether Acura extends the heritage treatment to other Integra variants. Those answers will determine whether this is a one-off tribute or the start of a broader strategy.
