TCR-spec Honda Civic Type R.
Built by JAS Motorsport out of Italy, an initial run of 25 FK8 Type Rs will be produced for the world's TCR market (sadly, the closest one will likely get to New Zealand is Asia). The car was developed in Italy by JAS Motorsport — the go-to team when it comes to Honda Civic race cars in world motorsport. Their first customers will get their cars in December.
“As this is only a first run it’s too early to say much about the car, but initial impressions were that it feels well-balanced,” said the team's test driver and reigning TCR Italy champion Roberto Colciago, fresh from a shakedown at the Autodromo Tazio Nuvolari.
“The engine is responsive and the gearbox and other major areas like the aero package are improved over the old car, which was itself a multiple championship-winner. Anybody who races this car next year is going to have a very competitive package.”
