@chenc544's breakdown and thought process is actually pretty good--how many Corvettes Chevy can pump out isn't relevant to the number of Type-S' Acura can/will produce. They're apples and oranges.
If Acura sells 2,500 Integras in a good month (they did this in February 2023), they're going to want to keep that going, then add to that number Type-S sales (ideal, business-wise) or convert a fraction of those 2,500/month to Type-S sales (probably more realistic). These cars share the same production line, but they're going to be pretty different price points and very different target customers. Might the Type-S make up just 10% of the total Integras built/sold? It seems possible. The Type-R was a very small fraction of the total Integras sold each year.
They have to make what they can sell.
maybe but selling 2-3k type S is unrealistic a year. Honda is a publicly traded company looking to make a profit. that wouldn't even cover the R&D and tooling.
