Insane Acura Integra Walks 1,000 HP Twin-Turbo Audi R8 in Extreme Drag Racing

The easiest way to pull such a stunt happens to be a drag strip shenanigan. The Acura in question took advantage of this, showing up at the TX2K16 drag racing event that's shaking Texas, and the entire US racing scene, as you are reading this.

The Integra lined up against a twin-turbo Audi R8. A member of the facelifted first-generation R8 V10, this Audi features a pretty serious twin-turbo setup that allows it to deliver 1,000 horses. Well, the Integra never gave the boosted supercar a chance, dominating the Audi throughout the battle, which included a rolling start.

Under the hood of the small coupe, we find the Japanese automaker's B-Series GSR engine. We're dealing with a four-cylinder mill that, with the help of a Precision 6266 turbo, delivers a meaty 1,000 hp.

The driver of the R8 showed a light-hearted attitude, but followed the know-your-enemy principle. So, according to the R8 man, this Integra tips the scales at 2,880 lbs (that's 1,300 kg, you metric system fans), hence the extraordinary performance.

Perhaps the driver of this Integra should get in touch with the man who built the 900 hp Toyota MR2 we showed you earlier this week and convince the latter to take his car off the streets in order to engage in a drag strip battle. For one thing, these two machines seem like the perfect featherweight category mix to occupy the drag strip with. And this is one four-cylinder battle both V8 muscle and supercar drivers need to pay attention to, as the piece of footage below will demonstrate.
