If you ask me which brand has the most cohesive offline fans, I will answer without hesitation: Honda. As an old Honda owner, the author can be said to have personally felt this atmosphere in recent years, and honda has never lacked in all kinds of large and small offline parties. But the party of 400 Honda Civic Type R, have you ever seen it?
Come on, blast Tec together!
On April 11, just yesterday, Honda held a grand parade about the Civic Type R series at the Motegi Circuit in Japan. At first glance, nothing special seems to be anything special, but when I saw the foreign media report clearly wrote that 400 Civic Type Rs gathered at the Motegi track, I only had in my heart: You can always trust Honda fans.
Here is also a premise, not that other brands and other car series do not have such a large-scale parade, but in the case of the Civic Type R, a legendary model, it is really rare. Through the pictures on the scene, you can also see that the previous Generation Type R has basically arrived, and even the limited number of Mugen RRs has also been many.
We looked at the rest of the photos on the scene and saw the endless Civic Type R in the parking lot parked neatly, and divided in an orderly manner according to color, car system, etc. I have to say that under such an order, a casual shot is a wallpaper-level photo. Of course, there is also a track cruise.
Even at night, the track is still orderly and neatly arranged, not to mention whether it is spectacular, such a scene is believed to be proud in the eyes of every Honda fan. At this time, I can't help but imagine what kind of auditory feast it would be if these 400 Civic Type Rs exploded together.
It is worth mentioning that from the photos taken by foreign riders at the scene, it seems that Honda officials also brought their own factory team and factory cars to the scene, and the word Honda Racing on the racing suit is particularly eye-catching. Indeed, under such a feast, it is difficult to hold it smoothly without the support of car manufacturers, and Honda understands fans.
The 11th generation Civic Type R broke records
The topic turned, the same Type R, we set our sights on the 11th generation Civic. Although the prototype or test car has been unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, the actual car has not been released for a long time. Still, the warm-up wasn't less, with the 11th-generation Civic Type R breaking the lap record for a suzuka track front-drive car in 2:23.120.
And that's not all. We also saw this video documentary on Dongfeng Honda's official Weibo, with bilingual subtitles in Chinese and English. This has never been the case in the past, combined with the news that the 11th generation Civic Type R will be introduced through the official CKD channel, is it not imaginary?
It is worth noting that at present, the foreign media department has also had news to break out, the official listing time of the 11th generation Civic Type R in the foreign market is expected to be in the summer of this year, and the domestic appearance time is expected to go to the end of this year.

Is it hard to have a Civic Type R?
In fact, when it comes to the Civic Type R, I believe that in the eyes of many Honda fans, it is a pursuit of the object of existence. It is also very realistic that there is no formal introduction in China, and the price in parallel import is touching, even if there is money to buy Civic Type R, there will be more choices in that price range. So is it difficult to have a Civic Type R in China?
It is not difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is easy. In fact, searching on the second-hand trading platform we are familiar with, there are many Civic Type R car sources for sale. EK9, FD2, FK2, FK8, no you can't buy, only you don't want to buy. At this point, it's nothing more than a test of how deep your love for the Civic Type R is.
Vtec is the best？
Vtec is the best, a sentence that Honda fans read well and can recite. That said, in fact, since Japan's bubble economy, Honda's achievements or efforts in the field of performance cars have long been much worse than before. But it is undeniable that in China, it has indeed brought us many models with high playability.
Furthermore, in addition to Honda, toyota nissan mazda and so on, there seem to be signs of deliberately moving into the field of performance cars. Toyota has launched the GR series and introduced domestic models; the Nissan 400Z has also been able to make a comeback; and Mazda has launched a six-cylinder rear-drive platform. Is the brilliance of JDM to be reproduced in the last moments of the fuel car?
Write at the end
At the end of the article, put on headphones and listen to the high-pitched sound of the FD2 Type R. Especially in today's new energy vehicles as a major trend, the exhaust sound wave is still being affected by turbologization, environmental protection regulations and GPF, etc., pure and pure sound wave is rare. Listen and cherish, open and cherish.
