Direct from Honda's Press kit:
"The 2017 Civic Type R is features the most powerful engine ever offered in a Honda production vehicle in America. The Type R’s 2.0-liter 16-valve i-VTEC® DOHC direct-injected, turbocharged powerplant advances performance on multiple fronts with a peak output of 306 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. The Civic Type R is the absolute pinnacle of Civic performance, and ranks as the fastest Honda production automobile ever offered in America, with a track top speed of approximately 170 mph.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is made by Honda of America Mfg. at its Anna, Ohio engine plant using domestic and globally sourced parts. Completed engines are shipped to Honda of the U.K. Manufacturing in Swindon, England, where the Type R is manufactured. Specifically engineered for direct injection and turbocharging, with an ultra-lightweight forged steel crankshaft and forged steel connecting rods, the Type R powerplant is designed to offer maximum torque output in the mid-rpm range to provide instantly accessible power.
Offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, the high-strength gearbox offers a short-throw shift action and closely spaced ratios tailored to suit the 2.0-liter turbo’s power delivery. A driver-selectable rev-matching feature smooths high performance upshifts and downshifts, and Launch Control helps optimize off-the line traction for maximum acceleration. And to help put the power to the ground, a helical limited-slip front differential is standard.
The Civic Type R engine is Tier3 Bin125 / LEV3-ULEV125 emissions compliant. Though the Civic Type R offers impressive performance, the efficient engine and transmission, along with excellent aerodynamics and low running resistance, result in EPA fuel economy ratings1 of 22/28/25 city/highway/combined mpg."

    As someone who dislikes turbo noise and delay, I couldn't agree more. Thus, this is another reason the S2000 still stands out against all these turbo charged 4 cyl that are now produced to give the same driving appeal. It's zippy without the extra whine.

    SpiritedxDriver most cars that have a performance version are almost like the same vehicle as the base vehicle. This one is completely different from the base civic and even the si, so I completely agree that they didn't just throw type r badge on this car they actually thought of it. To be honest when Honda came out saying they were doing this car I didn't think it could even level with the focus RS and seeing this video as one of the first actual driving video and not prototype type r I think it can top the focus RS.

    Loping Camshaft Unfortunately, fully complying with latest emissions regulations with absolutely zero rev hang is simply unrealistic once you understand that the reason the smooth out the throttle closing is to prevent the sudden lack of intake airflow causing a transient dip in AFR, which creates a lot of unburnt hydrocarbons.

  • @LysergikFuneral

    @LysergikFuneral

    7 жыл бұрын

    You're right that is the cause, but I don't think it's the only way to solve the emissions issue. It comes across more as manufacturers either being lazy or cheap to use other solutions. It's mostly in lower to medium-end sporty cars (say, below $40k).

    well deserved - love the channel. Btw EE we have the 9th generation ctr in Europe and it's more or less the same car with a bit different rear suspension setup and no blipping module - a bit more harsh than this one but still very similar in terms of the tech - they used this platform as their testing grounds for the release of this one for the us market and it surpassed the expactations - that is why you've just driven the x ctr for the us market - if their expirement failed on the 9th gen hatch you'd not be having that at all :) so gg Honda :) the us getting it is also great news for the eu market - because we will be getting lots of mods and tuning stuff for this car and it is finally exactly the same car on both continents.

    Michael Yachnis it's ok for a Sclass since it looks more professional but for a civic you need the hand brake to preform fast u turns

    Usually because it saves space and weight. It's also a bit safer because it doesn't bypass the anti-lock system. In this case it's because the base design of the Civic 10th gen has an electronic break, and the Type-R is based on it, doing a redesign to make the car arguably worse doesn't make sense. I find it interesting that since the addition of hill-assist, in areas where manual transmissions are more popular (e.g. outside the US), ebrakes are more popular. So clearly this is one feature that is more a function of us just not being used to it yet rather than being unnecessary luxury add-on that will fall by the wayside.

    Hrithik Jayanth basically water (instead of H²O it's HO²) and it keeps your blinkers from fogging up and causing an accident. if a cop catches you without it, it's a $2000 fix it ticket. better run to AutoZone, because if you don't know about it you may be low.

    If it's going to remain on pavement, the Type R is more fun. STI engine is too dated and doesn't pull like the R. 0-60 times won't tell the full story because AWD will shine there, but for daily use (and those who don't drop clutches regularly) the R is far more refined and drivable. If you want fun in the snow, I've never owned a car that gripped like my '14 STI. 3 LSD's makes it magical in low grip scenarios haha. Of course, as I always mention, you're limited by your tires. 62% weight up front and a helical diff will mean the Type R should be fine in the snow, especially with the right tires. I've driven my S2000 in the snow with all seasons and it did alright, LSD helps a lot.
