This is the new and long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Here's all you need to know about what might just tear up the hot hatchback rule book...
Behind the new wheels and tyres are a substantial set of four-piston Brembo brake calipers, but Honda’s been coy about any technical information regarding the suspension. We suspect it’ll have some basis from the previous FK8 that paired adaptive dampers with a MacPherson front and multi link rear setup.
Honda has also confirmed that it’s finally introduced an Individual driving mode alongside the existing Normal, Sport and +R modes that will allow the driver to mix and match elements of the powertrain and chassis to their desired combination. This was a major annoyance on the FK8, and is a welcome addition to the new model.The interior represents a significant step up in both quality and interface.
Typical Type R elements like the bright-red Alcantara bucket seats, red carpets, Alcantara steering wheel and that aluminium gear knob are all present, only now incorporated into a far more contemporary and, what looks to be, well-built interior.We can confirm that the new Type R will be sourced out of the Yorii factory in Japan, where all European-market Civics are due to be sourced from.
Yet even before its market release, the new Civic Type R is already breaking lap records as its predecessors did, having taken the front-wheel drive record at Suzuka Circuit with a time of 2:23.120 seconds. That’s 0.873 seconds faster than the previous generation.
