Hot Wheels Boulevard No. 107 2001 Acura Integra GSR (Custom)
Few cars define the golden age of sport compacts quite like the Acura Integra GS‑R. Lightweight, precise and powered by one of Honda’s most celebrated engines, the GS‑R became a benchmark for enthusiasts who valued balance and engine character over raw numbers.
As the final year of third‑generation production, the 2001 GS‑R represents the peak of the naturally aspirated, high‑revving formula. With VTEC waiting high in the rev range and handling tuned for driver involvement, it remains a car remembered not just for how fast it was, but for how it felt when driven properly. This Hot Wheels Boulevard release captures that era at its absolute best. About the Real Car

The third‑generation Integra GS‑R embodied Honda’s performance philosophy of the late 1990s — extract maximum excitement from minimal displacement through engineering, not excess. Its naturally aspirated VTEC engine delivered power progressively, rewarding precision and commitment rather than brute force.
As turbocharging and heavier platforms became the norm in the years that followed, the GS‑R came to represent a closing chapter in driver‑focused design. Today, it stands as one of the most respected sport coupes of its time, and this Boulevard casting celebrates a model that helped define an entire generation of performance cars. Technical Details
