Recently, Honda officially announced that its new Honda Civic TYPE R model will be launched worldwide in the summer of 2022. Previously, the prototype of the new car has been unveiled at the 2022 Tokyo Modified Auto Show, and not long ago, the official said that the model set a new lap speed record for the front-drive mass production model of the Suzuka Circuit in Japan with a time of 2 minutes 23 seconds and 120 seconds. It is reported that the new car will be introduced into China at the end of 2022.
It is worth mentioning that the new Honda Civic TYPE R's refreshing results this time are nearly 1 second faster than its old results, which is of great help in the vehicle's power adjustment and chassis setting changes.
At present, we can infer the appearance of the new car from the prototype of the new car, for example, the new car will be built on the basis of the ordinary hatchback version of the Civic, and the front part of the car will be basically the same as the ordinary version, but the front bracket design will be more in line with the aerodynamic and heat dissipation modeling style.
In addition, the new car has also widened the front and rear wheelbase, which can clearly see the front and rear fenders on the side of the body to wide out of the body, with the sneakback design of the hatchback version, so that the new car looks more coordinated. At the rear, the new car is also equipped with a large size rear spoiler, and the rear surround is also equipped with a large size diffuser and a "one big two small" mid-three-out exhaust layout, and the overall shape is very recognizable.
It will be powered by an upgraded 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which may reach a maximum power level of 320 horsepower. In terms of drivetrain, it will be matched by a 6-speed manual transmission and a front-wheel drive system with LSD limited-slip differential.
