Honda’s Civic Type R packs some serious power and the development car clocked a lap time of 7 minutes 43.8 seconds at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The new Civic Type R was part of the all-new tenth-generation Civic’s development programme and was engineered to deliver the most rewarding drive in the hot hatch segment, both on road and on the race track. At its heart is the optimised and refined 2.0-litre VTEC TURBO engine, producing 320 PS and 400Nm of torque. New lower gear ratios in the six-speed manual transmission are aimed to further improve the car’s acceleration.

The 2017 Civic Type R is 16kg lighter than the previous model’s, with a torsional stiffness improvement of 38%, which provides significant benefits to steering response and cornering stability.
