The 6th generation Honda Civic Type R is finally here, and it is based on the 11th gen Honda Civic. Since 2015, we have seen 3 generations of the Civic Type R, those are 3 evolutions in just 7 years, quicker than any other manufacturer. <\/p>\n
The new FL5 Civic Type R is bigger, 35 mm more wheelbase than the outgoing model. It\u2019s 1 of only 3 Japanese hot hatches available today, the others being Toyota\u2019s GR Corolla and GR Yaris. Honda is yet to release a detailed list of the specifications but a 2.0L K20C1 turbocharged I4 engine powers the FWD hot hatch through a 6 speed manual gearbox.<\/p>\n
Like the outgoing model, we expect the new Civic Type R to include auto rev matching and a limited-slip differential as standard. The interior continues to improve with a new (larger) infotainment screen and a revised digital gauge set. <\/p>\n
Honda loves red interiors on their sporty models like the Type R. Here, a suede interior dominates the 3D polyhedral form to provide maximum body support. Suede was chosen as it helps with the reduction of body slippage in the occasion of high G situations like cornering and acceleration. <\/p>\n
In the FK8 generation, the Civic Type R\u2019s engine had an output of 320hp, the new generation should remain within that range as well, expect something between 320-325hp. <\/p>\n
More information will be revealed towards the end of the year, the Japanese market will begin taking orders in September 2022. <\/p>\n\r\n
