surprised it's Euro only..no Japan? put Type R in the thread title...everyone's gonna think next year's North American Civic can rival the M3 :derp: |
Screw Honda. They haven't made anything interesting in a long time. Also wth is DTECH? is that one of those frankinmotors where they take a D series block and but vtec head on it? |
honda engineers sure got lazy nowadays slap a turbo in, put a type r badge, call it a day |

While this is no Type-R like the 90's, I'm personally glad Honda is at least doing something a little bit more exciting. |
2.0T 276hp :considered: |

and god damn Honda's R&D for trying to break 'Ring lap records :derp: |

Honda has always made great high revving NA motors, but with the competition in the “hot hatch” market (at least in the UK and Europe), I don’t think they have a choice anymore, they have to turbo to stay competitive and keep the smaller displacement. I’m excited that it sounds like they are actually trying to build something to compete with some of the bench marks like the Focus ST and Golf R. They have lost the plot since getting rid of the S2000 and never releasing a NON hybrid K powered CRZ, so maybe this begins the long road back to what Honda used to be? 2.0L turbo Type R CRZ please. |
Looks good! |
:considered: Honda 1.5L Turbo McLaren MP4 4 makes 1200hp :ahwow: :rukidding: why a 2L turbo only making 280hp now |
I really did wish that Honda just brought over their Euro Civic body rather than the uninspiring version here. Would have bought one in a heartbeat. |

one of my FAVOURITE car ever is the Euro Civic FN2 http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1...oto0677fp4.jpg Really wish they brought this here, I would take a SI version if they didn't release Type R here over my GTI any day ;( ...I have a thing for Hothatches ;D |
Turbo Type-R Hondas? Madness. |

276hp type R... pft, dissapointed. AMG pulled 355hp from a 2.0T engine and it passes all emissions test/is reliable. Hyundai did 270 hp from their 2.0T and it's the lowest model. WTF honda, stick to making robots and lawnmowers plz, your glory days are over. |
What happened to Honda being one of the best NA engines? I am somewhat disappoint as this is euro exclusive. WTF. |

Not easy making a engine rev anywhere near as high as those F1 engines and staying fairly reliable. and good luck driving with those engine on the street. |
Awesome news. F1 tech inspired? |

everyone just needs to calm down, if you know a Honda engine you know it can get amazing amounts of power with just tuning... the k20 engine "8th gen civic, rsx, ep3 civic sir and a few others im sure im missing" can make 340whp on just 5 psi without a huge turbo, a friend made 380whp on 8 psi on a 2.0L 4 cyl engine. and that just a bolt on kit with a local tuner. as a manufacturer im sure they are playing it safe with their tune incase stupid consumers decided to run shitty fuel in it, or beat on it more often than they should.. kinda makes sense to make it really safe or else everyone will be running around like chickens with their heads cut off when some douche puts 87 octane in and starts to pre detonate and leaves a bad review. and why is everyone so bent about power.. the STI makes about 300hp with a 2.5.. most people purchasing this car will never use the power of it and the few that do will obviously modify it anyways.. like most of us did with our cars. |

Honda's design team needs a kick in the rear. The body line of the current gen civic are so ugly for lack of a better word. From the side profile the hood just takes the same line as the windshield so you go from the roof of the car pretty much all the way to the pavement in one direct line. I've always been a Honda fan, but that one aspect alone turned me off from buying a Civic this year. |
