With the release of the 11th generation of The Civic in April last year, the outside world is looking forward to the advent of the performance flagship Civic Type-R, which is still in development, the front-drive manual high-performance sedan, which is expected to debut this summer, and recently announced that the 11th generation Civic Type-R was tested at suzuka Circuit in Japan at 3/14, setting a record of 2 minutes 23 seconds and 120 laps. Directly compared with the previous generation of FK8 to cut 0.873 seconds, the track strength can be said to be higher, hot-blooded Honda fans can rest assured to wait!
In 2020, Honda brought the ultimate and strongest Civic Type-R Limited Edition, which is known as the FK8 generation, released as a rare identity with a global limited edition of 1020 copies, and later in the same year, at the 5.8 km Long Suzuka Circuit in Japan, it set a lap time of 2 minutes 23.993 seconds, beating the Renault Megane R.S. Trophy-R's 2 minutes 25 seconds 45 performance, and topped the fastest mass production front-drive car laurel. However, the so-called Yangtze River back wave pushes the front wave, this fastest title has only been held for less than 2 years by the new Civic Type-R, it is conceivable that the dynamic strength of the new generation of models is more refined.
Although the original factory has not disclosed the relevant power specifications of the new Civic Type-R so far, it is generally believed that the 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine of the previous generation FK8 should be used, and the engine output is expected to be not the focus of the original improvement, and the estimated output will be not far from the current 306hp. On the one hand, the new car development team will also focus on the chassis improvement project, through the factory for lightweight body, suspension brakes to re-adjust, in exchange for a more neat handling performance.
