Honda Racing Corporation USA (HRC US) is set to debut its first line of HRC Performance Parts at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, with sales starting in March 2027. These parts are designed to boost the performance and capability of popular Honda and Acura vehicles, including the Civic Type R, Integra Type S, and Passport TrailSport.
This new program brings race-proven technology from HRC’s championship-winning engineers directly to consumers. The parts aim to improve driving experiences on the street, at the track, and off-road, reflecting HRC’s three decades of success in motorsports.
What HRC Performance Parts include
The initial lineup features lightweight forged wheels and tuned cat-back exhaust systems. The forged wheels for Civic Type R and Integra Type S measure 19x10 inches, weigh just 20.8 pounds each, and are made in partnership with Italy’s 2elle-engineering, known for supplying the Acura ARX-06 race car. These wheels reduce unsprung weight by 5.5 pounds compared to factory wheels and widen the track for better handling and an aggressive stance.
For off-road enthusiasts, HRC developed an 18x8 forged-aluminum wheel for the Passport and Pilot. Built with aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum and forged under 10,000 tons of pressure, these wheels offer a 100-kilogram load capacity increase over stock wheels and come in Machine Black or Techna Bronze finishes with 'Honda Racing' engraved.
The tuned cat-back exhaust system, created with Borla, enhances the Passport and Pilot’s 3.5-liter V6 engine performance by increasing flow rate up to 6%. It features Borla’s 'Polyphonic Harmonizer' technology for a powerful yet refined sound, along with 'Anti-Drone' tech to keep highway cruising comfortable. The system also raises ground clearance by up to 1.9 inches, improving off-road capability.
What it means for you
If you own or plan to buy a Civic Type R, Integra Type S, Passport TrailSport, or Pilot, these HRC Performance Parts offer factory-backed upgrades that bring race-level engineering to your vehicle. Lightweight forged wheels can sharpen handling and reduce weight, while the tuned exhaust improves engine breathing and sound without sacrificing comfort.
Available exclusively through Honda and Acura dealerships nationwide and the Honda DreamShop online, these parts ensure quality and fitment backed by HRC’s extensive racing expertise. The introduction of adjustable coilovers, Brembo brake kits, and short throw shifters is also planned for future releases, promising more options for enthusiasts.
When and where to get them
HRC Performance Parts will be officially unveiled at the 2026 SEMA Show, November 3-6, at Booth #24789 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Sales begin in March 2027 through authorized Honda and Acura dealers and online at Honda DreamShop.
This marks HRC’s expansion into consumer performance parts, building on their long history of racing success and technical development in North America.
