In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the Lunar New Year begins. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, the editor wishes all the card friends a prosperous year of the tiger, a happy family, and all the best in their hearts. For car fans, 2022 is undoubtedly an exciting year, and a number of blockbuster performance cars are about to be introduced into China. When green cards appear more and more frequently on the streets, fuel performance cars are more likely to evoke the feelings of driving enthusiasts. Because of this, many traditional car companies have accelerated the introduction of fun models to feed car fans.
Among the many performance cars to be introduced, the Japanese brand is undoubtedly the leader. Honda is about to introduce a new Civic Type R, which will be sold by Dongfeng Honda channels. Toyota will introduce the new GR 86 and compete in the entry-level sports car market. In addition, BMW plans to introduce the new M240i to enrich the M Performance product line. In addition, the hyundai N series finally has the hope of being introduced.
Honda Civic Type R
One word comment: Civic is complete
Estimated price: 350,000-450,000 yuan
In the hearts of driving enthusiasts, the Honda Civic Type R has a lofty status and is the representative of the Japanese high-performance steel gun. For many years, Honda has never officially introduced the Civic Type R, which not only did not dispel the enthusiasm of fans, but pushed up the price of parallel imported versions. In the parallel import market, the price of the old Civic Type R (FK8) terminal once soared to about 650,000 yuan. The good news is that Dongfeng Honda is expected to officially introduce the Civic Type R in 2022, either by vehicle import or CKD (full bulk assembly).
The delay in the GR YARiS gave other hand-blocked steel guns an opportunity. In the eyes of steel cannon enthusiasts, imports or CKDs are not important, the key is that the dream has finally come into reality. There is no doubt that the FL2 will be the strongest generation of Civic Type R in history, and it is also likely to redefine the "front-wheel ceiling". The new Civic Type R is priced at between 350,000 and 450,000 yuan. If that's the case, the new car shouldn't be worried about sales.

Toyota GR 86
One sentence comment: Akinayama is a descendant
Estimated price: 300,000-350,000 yuan
Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ and the Chinese market are combined, making JDM fans love and hate. With the completion of the replacement of the sister car, Toyota and Subaru once again decided to introduce it to the Chinese market again. Last December, Subaru brought the new BRZ in the form of an official import. Unfortunately, BRZ only meets the national 6a emission standards, and cannot be listed in some cities, which makes people pin their hopes on GR 86. It is reported that GR 86 is expected to be listed in the first quarter of this year, but the emission standards are still unknown.
The new BRZ is priced at 308,800-330,800 yuan, which is priced slightly higher than the old model. If GR 86 meets the National 6b emission standards, its terminal price (not excluding markups) may be slightly higher than BRZ. According to Toyota's custom, the National 6b model is usually not equipped with a GPF particle trap to ensure exhaust efficiency as much as possible, thus providing better power response.

BMW M240i
One word review: the cheapest inline six-cylinder
Estimated price: 450,000-500,000 yuan
The introduction of performance cars, Japanese brands are pioneers, but German brands are not left behind. In 2022, BMW plans to introduce a number of M Performance models, including the new M240i, X3 M40i, X4 M40i, iX M60 and so on. Among them, the new M240i (G42) is undoubtedly the most enjoyable model. When BMW stuffed the proud inline six-cylinder engine into the tiny 2 Series, the playful properties were conceivable.
In the Chinese market, the difference between the Z4 sDrive25i M Sports Suit and the Z4 M40i M Sport Performance Edition is 141,000 yuan. The M240i adds a four-wheel drive system to the 225i Coupe, and the price difference may be slightly higher than that of the two Z4 models. Considering that the old M240i is priced at 449,800 yuan, we believe that the new M240i is expected to be priced in the range of 450,000-500,000 yuan. As for the standard configuration, there will be an answer after the official introduction.

Hyundai Phase One N
One word comment: You have to kill GTI
In recent times, the modern N series has frequently appeared in China, allowing people to see the hope of introduction. The Elantra N is the perfect interpretation of "crazy taxi", with lap times even better than many high-horsepower rear-drive cars. Unfortunately, the introduction of Elantra N has little hope, but Phase One N is more likely to be introduced. The reason for this is probably to take into account the better market performance of the previous generation of Phase One in China.
When the Koreans decided to build a performance car, the result was so amazing. Inside the modern era, the N sector is like the Oriental version of the BMW M GmbH, attracting many engineering elites who love to drive. When the German car becomes no longer pure, the feeling of the past is reproduced in the Korean car. This makes people have to sigh, the car circle is indeed thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi.
Editor's comments: Electric vehicles and fuel vehicles seem to be opposites, but the actual relationship is somewhat complicated. Without electrification pressing forward, fans will always want to "wait a little longer" and not be so anxious to get into a fuel car. Now, people just want to seize the last chance and fulfill their wishes. With the Civic Type R, GR 86, M240i and other models lining up to enter the Chinese market, the dream of the past is about to come true. Which of the performance cars you can buy in China is your favorite? Looking forward to seeing more exciting names in the comments section.
