The new season focuses on competing in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
Acura kicks off the second season of its anime series Chiaki’s Journey, and this time the 2024 Integra Type S is the star. Competing in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is the primary theme of the new episodes. There’s also a real-world tie-in because Loni Unser is running a race-prepped version of the new sport sedan at the famous event this year.
If you missed the first season, the show stars a woman named Chiaki who is a young racing protégé. The existing episodes have a total of nearly 275 million views to date. Season two includes a cameo from the famous RealTime Racing Integra Type R race car from the 1990s.

To coincide with the launch of the second season, Acura will build a replica of the garage from the show and put an Integra Type S in it. Visitors to the Grand Prix of Long Beach will be able to visit the display. Plus, the #93 Racers Edge Acura NSX GT-3 Evo22 and pace cars there will wear an anime-inspired body wrap.
The 2024 Integra Type S goes on sale in June, but no pricing details are available yet. The model packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 320 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 310 pound-feet of torque between 2,600 and 4,000 revs. The only gearbox available is a six-speed manual with rev-matching and a limited-slip differential. Adaptive dampers offer Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ modes. Brembo brakes are also part of the package. The Type S is available in the exclusive color Tiger Eye Pearl.
The cabin includes a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a head-up display, and a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D stereo. A titanium shift knob will be an available option.
