At the 104th Running of The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this past June, the Acura Integra Type S DE5 established a benchmark performance, reaching the 14,115-foot peak nearly 15 seconds ahead of the prior front-wheel drive record.
With two-time Formula Drift champion and HRC US driver Dai Yoshihara at the helm, the Integra Type S DE5 completed the grueling 12.42-mile mountain ascent in 10:33.174 to claim sixth place in the Time Attack 1 division. Yoshihara's run surpassed the former front-wheel drive record of 10:48.094 set in 2018 by Nick Robinson, a Honda R&D engineer driving an Acura TLX A-Spec.
