GAC Honda Shows Two-Door Integra Targa Concept With Manual at Guangzhou

Built for display by the China-only joint venture, the targa-style study has no confirmed specifications or production plan.

Overview

  • The show car reworks the Chinese-market Integra hatch into a two-door with a removable targa roof, deleting the rear doors and adding longer frameless front doors with a 2+2 cabin.
  • Images from the stand reveal a six-speed manual shifter that points to the 1.5-liter turbo gasoline unit rather than the hybrid, though GAC Honda has not confirmed powertrain details.
  • Multiple outlets characterize the vehicle as a concept and likely a one-off, with low prospects for series production or sale outside China.
  • Paul Tan reports the ‘Hatchback Style’ concept appeared hastily constructed, featuring a body-colored roll hoop flowing into the former hatch with no visible shut lines and what looks like a shortened wheelbase that leaves minimal rear legroom.
  • Design cues include white multi-spoke (Artka) wheels, red mirror caps, and a profile that nods to the CR-X/CR-X del Sol era while retaining mostly stock front and rear ends.
