Built in America, developed in Japan, two members from the Acura Integra Type S Japan team were on hand at this week’s drive event in California. Yoshiaki Akimoto(left) is the large project leader/chief engineer, and Kohei Akamine(right) is the leader for dynamic performance.

Akimoto had previously worked on some super cool Honda projects – he worked on the first DOHC VTEC engine in the 2nd generation Integra, engine development for the S2000, and engine development for Honda F1 in 2005!
