Honda Reveals 2-Door Targa-Roof Integra With Manual Gearbox, But You Can't Have It

The range-topping Type S turns the car into a performance sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque.

While some might call the Integra handsome, its styling doesn't demand attention on the road. However, a person may find it challenging to look away from the weird Integra that Honda has on display at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show in China. The one-off custom on display there is a two-door with a massive portion of the roof sliced off. We've contacted Honda to request high-resolution images; for now, the only shots available are through social media, embedded below.

An Intriguing Integra 

The significant changes make the Integra look much more exciting. The front comes straight from the existing Chinese-market model, which has styling akin to the version of the Civic available in the US.

The tweaks become evident when viewing this vehicle from the side. The roof is gone from the top of the windshield to a new panel behind the front seats. With such a large opening, driving this Integra would likely be akin to being in a convertible. The machine evokes a modern take on the Del Sol.

Additional images on Paul Tan show the rear and interior. Because of the modified rear section, it doesn't look like the hatchback can open. The cabin doesn't have significant changes to the Chinese-market Integra. There are bolstered, gray cloth seats and a manual gearbox. There are red strips on the dashboard and door panels, which add a sporty touch.

Under the hood, there's a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 180 horsepower. It hooks up to a six-speed manual, driving the front wheels. In China, the Integra is also available with a hybrid.

Don't expect Honda to sell this open-roof Integra anywhere in the world. Without significant underbody bracing, removing the roof would reduce the body rigidity. Plus, the market for such an odd vehicle seems very small.

Other Recent Honda Concepts

Honda has been on a roll lately at building attractive concepts. At the recent Japan Mobility Show, it debuted the Super-One EV hot hatch as an aggressive take on the existing Honda N-One kei car. It featured boxy fender flares that evoked the City Turbo II from the 1980s. There's also an asymmetrical air inlet in the grille and an aggressive front fascia, with large openings. Inside, there are heavily bolstered sport seats.

Best of all, Honda plans to build the Super-One. Carbuzz even got a chance to drive one, and we came away impressed with the pint-sized hot hatch. While it was under camouflage, the general design seemed nearly identical to the concept. Unfortunately, the little EV isn't coming to the US.
