Let’s talk about the Honda Civic Type R FK8 because it is a car that's made to perform and it is impossible to ignore.
The Honda Civic Type R FK8 is a high-performance variant of the tenth-generation Honda Civic. It was first introduced in 2017, ended production in 2021 and is known for its aggressive styling, track-focused performance, and impressive handling capabilities.It's a car that's been designed to push the limits of performance, with every detail engineered for maximum speed and agility.
Performance
Under the bonnet, the Honda Civic Type R FK8 is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a closed-ratio six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive, which makes for an exhilarating driving experience.
The FK8's engine is a high-revving powerhouse that produces plenty of power throughout the rev range. It features direct injection, variable valve timing, and a low-inertia turbocharger that helps to reduce lag and provide instant throttle response. The engine also has a high-flow intake and exhaust system that helps to increase airflow, resulting in improved performance.
With all of this power and torque on tap, the FK8 is a seriously quick car. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 5.0 seconds, which is a testament to its impressive performance capabilities. And with a top speed of 170 mph, the FK8 is more than capable of keeping up with much more expensive high-performance cars on UK roads.
Handling
The Honda Civic Type R FK8 is a car that's built to perform, and its handling capabilities are a big part of what makes it so special. The FK8 has been praised for its exceptional handling, which is a result of a number of advanced features that have been engineered for maximum performance.
One of the key features that contribute to the FK8's handling prowess is its sport-tuned suspension system, aided by its limited-slip differential, which helps to improve traction and stability, especially during hard cornering. In addition to its suspension and differential, the FK8 also features performance brakes that provide excellent stopping power.
The FK8's handling capabilities have been put to the test on some of the world's most challenging racetracks, and it ended up settingfront-wheel drive fastest lap records at various circuits around the world, including the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the Suzuka Circuit.
