Once a phrase "seconds of air" made a compact car become the "net red" of the automotive industry, yes, it is the well-known Civic. You may still not understand why such a compact family car can be blown so hot, and even you doubt that the Civic, which is only 1.5T, is not qualified enough. But you must also know that Civic can have such courage because it has a big brother behind it, Civic Type R, to support it. The Civic Type R is not a good stubble, it is a "monster" that can modify five or six hundred horsepower at any moment, and it is also one of the best in the performance of small steel cannons.
Nowadays, the eleventh generation of Civic has been listed and sold in China for some time, so next, the new generation of Civic Type R has become the object of eagerness of performance steel gun enthusiasts. Although everyone is not sure whether it will be introduced into The Country, it is always necessary to give Dongfeng Honda some hope, after all, the 10th generation Civic Hatchback hatchback version was also introduced under everyone's call. Recently, it was revealed that this new generation of Civic Type R will be released before the end of 2022.
Judging from the previously exposed camouflage spy photos, although the new generation of Civic Type R has been heavily disguised, it is not difficult to see that the design outline of its front face is very similar to the current eleventh generation Civic. We can also see some details that differ, the front grille of the new Civic Type R separating the two parts is decorated with a honeycomb design, and the air intake of the upper part is wider than that of the eleventh generation Civic.
On the side of the body, the very eye-catching black double-five pair of forged wheels, paired with large brake discs and red Brembo brake calipers, are all signs of performance. It is worth mentioning that the new Civic Type R has increased its body rigidity by 19%, the wheelbase has been increased by 35mm compared to the older model, and the width between the rear axles has also increased by 12mm. And this series of changes, the dynamic driving experience of the new car will also be qualitatively improved. Seeing this, are you more looking forward to the arrival of the new generation of Civic Type R?
If the previous changes aren't enough to appeal to you, then when you see the rear of the car, you may not be calm. The new Civic Type R retains the three-out exhaust layout of the old model, but the style has changed to two clips and one large. In addition, there are large fixed tail wings that are also not absent. Seeing these combat-filled equipment, you shouldn't have refused, right?
Of course, as a suitor of performance, horsepower is king. The new Civic Type R continues to be powered by the 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine with great potential for modifications, but the power performance output is higher than the old model's 310 hp, which is expected to increase to 320 hp. In addition, the transmission is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Seeing that the power has increased again, the old Honda fans are estimated to have blossomed happily, and who can refuse such a high-horsepower performance small steel cannon?
Even if the spy photo of the new Civic Type R is fully disguised, it is not difficult to see that the appearance design of the new Civic Type R is not as aggressive as the old model, but the gentle appearance does not mean that it is a good bully. After all, 320 horsepower is placed there, which is the so-called "playing a pig and eating a tiger".
Although in the performance of small steel cannons, there is no shortage of horsepower "monsters", such as golf R, Audi RS3, AMG A45 and so on are the performance of small steel cannons. The Civic Type R is not the strongest among them, but it has great potential for modification, which may be the reason why it is loved by many fans.
