Civic Type R continues final tweaking on Nurburgring

[Random Socks]

Base headlights and a rear wiper?!

After the first "WHOA!", I noticed the lack of LED bling, too.

Although I would take $1000 off for base headlights to be completely honest!

No center caps too, perhaps it has some race spec tire better than the sport 6s

It also says 2017 inside the rear driverside window.

good eye there!
they took those centre caps out for weight reduction lol.

is it just me or does anyone else find there is not as much red in the seats? especially drivers, seems to have a black headrest.

Hey what do you know?! A CTR on the 'Ring with HONDA SENSING. Guess that argument is invalidated now!

They prob used base headlights cause hes on a track. Cheaper to replace

I'd certainly hope the base headlights aren't a weight reduction thing. I would love to save money that way.

Those 30 profile tires make it appear as if the it's riding on rims only.

Regarding the halogen headlights, it's probably a non-production model. Performance wise, it doesn't make a difference.

I noticed that. There can't be more than 20mm of tire between the pavement and the rim.

In this case, this is a real time trial car. Same thing they did with the previous version!!

Looks off you're right, look at the drivers seat too, appears to possibly have a brand name writing on the top part of his seat.

Sign me up for the factory cage option Honda

I'm seeing it all

Even less sidewall when tire sidewalls are flexing under load.

I believe the GTR has special wheels to reduce the rims from popping off the tire.
