The colors of the old FK8-gen Honda Civic Type R will carry through to the new one new front-wheel drive production car record at the Nurburgring. In order to do so, it will need to top the 7: It's worth remembering that Honda stopped accepting orders for the FL5 in the Land of the Rising Sun in January 2023 as well, back when the Civic Type R used to retail at 4,997,300 yen or 38,915 The banzai new 2023 Honda Civic Type R has officially become the fastest front-drive production vehicle to lap the punishing Nurburgring road course in Germany.. Setting a blistering pace around the Green Hell, the new Type R – which is sold out until 2024 following its local launch earlier this month – set a lap time of 7:44.881, besting the Renault Megane RS Trophy-R’s 2019 lap record A couple of laps from my first time at the ring - the track and the car were epic! Managed an 8:08 BTGThe Civic was rented from RSR. It's on Michelin PSS and The ‘FK2’ Civic Type R’s once record-breaking Nurburgring lap is utterly bonkers. 7min 50.63sec is one hell of a time, so to see the car’s replacement - the ‘FK8’ Type R - best it by All I have seen is a marginally better time for the FL5 over the FK8 LE at Suzuka and the FK8 performing slightly better on a different track. Keiichi Tsuchiya (DK) drove both cars at Sodegaura Forest Raceway. The FK8 ran 1:16.33 and the FL5 1:16:99. FK8: there is a notary thing started in 2019, all vehicle that appeared in the official Nur record board must be measured and notarised. If you remember the 20th anniversary Golf R that did the time a few month ago, it didn't get into that record board because 1. only measure 20.6km time, and 2. potentially(I'm not sure) not notarised. normally speaking, vehicles were inspected and documented by SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/raceluxius ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Which car is faster? 😹Honda Civic Type R (FK8) 2020 vs Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R 2016#JDM #gt7Track New Civic Type R styling and shape Visually, the new Type R has none of the manga comic craziness of the FK8. That’s partly because the fundamental design of the five-door Civic hatch is much cleaner and more sophisticated than that of the previous model, but also because Honda engineers have spent a lot of time worki Just my thoughts - I personally don't fully understand how they can test / compare the lap time at Suzuka as a rolling start when the starting speed is going to vary. When watching the side by side video, the FK8 starting speed seems lower than the the FL5, which immediately puts it behind. u9KRz.
