The Honda Civic was first produced in 1997 and after 20 years it broke a
world record. At the Nürburgring the Honda Civic Type-r set a time of
7 minutes and 43.8 seconds becoming the fastest front-wheel-drive
production car ever. For comparison the Nissan GTR which costs
111,685$ set a lap time of 7 minutes 43.65 seconds. That means that
for 34,775$ you can get a car that is nearly as fast as a GTR for one
third of the price! This new Type-R has a complete new face very
different from the previous FK2 chassis. The look is very sporty and
aggressive with a big wing and all kinds of air vents. Personally i
think it's a very good looking car, maybe there is a little bit too
much going on but hey... Japanese automotive design is very different
and i appreciate it. The car comes with a turbocharged 4 cylinder 2
litre engine with 306 hp equipped with the famous V-Tec.
0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) takes 5.7 s and the
top speed is 272 km/h (169 mph). Here are some pictures and a video of the Nürburgring lap enjoy!
