Speaking of the entry into the field of "steel cannon", there is such a car that I believe everyone knows, it is the Golf GTI, which is liked by many young people in China. But it's about to usher in a formidable competitor with 100 horsepower, a new generation of Civic TYPE R prototypes. These two days, it was officially unveiled at the 2022 Tokyo Modified Auto Show, and there is news that it will be introduced to China in the future. So what about this performance car? Let's talk about it in detail.
The appearance uses a sports kit, and the whole vehicle has a strong fighting atmosphere. From the design point of view, the new Civic TYPE R prototype uses a lot of similar designs to the current Civic Type R, but in order to highlight its performance version identity, it has made many changes, such as the use of larger heat dissipation openings, "Y-shaped" five-spoke rims and braking systems. The rear of the car is also relatively large, and the spoiler with exaggerated size and the three-hole exhaust in the middle have been replaced, and the overall sense of sport has been improved a lot.
The interior is also a sporty style, with a manual mechanical shift lever. Although the interior shape has not yet been made public, the sports attribute will definitely be strengthened, and the LCD dashboard in the car and the central control screen will certainly not be absent. However, in order to highlight the performance of the new car, some details will also be upgraded, such as a three-spoke multi-function sports steering wheel with a red LOGO and a seat with red decoration.
The body size has been improved to a certain extent, and it is longer and wider than the current car. The body size is not yet heard, we refer to the new Civic length, width and height are 4674/1802/1415mm, and the wheelbase is 2735mm. Compared with the rival Volkswagen Golf GTI, the length, width and height are 4296/1788/1471mm, and the wheelbase is 2631mm.
The power figure is 100 horsepower more than the Golf GTI, which only provides manual transmission. Judging from the currently exposed power news, the new Civic TYPE R prototype will use an upgraded 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + 6-speed manual transmission classic power combination, with a maximum power of 320 horsepower. Compared to the 220 hp 2.0T engine used by the Volkswagen Golf GTI, it is much more powerful.
Write at the end:
The biggest highlight of the new Civic TYPE R is the power part, and the currently exposed news says that it will have 320 horsepower, becoming the highest performance version of the new Civic. For Honda fans or steel cannon fans, the new Civic TYPE R is definitely a model worth looking forward to, and the feelings and strength coexist. If you don't think the Golf GTI isn't powerful enough, you can wait for the new Civic TYPE R. (Image from the Internet)
