More Civic Type R Variants Are Coming!

[Rennokas]

If I find anything out, it would be Saturday or next Monday.

Just tell them we need it with sedan body (could have the long stripe taillight like the aftermarket one), 18 inch wheels, 10 speed automatic and it need to come to EU. We cant buy accord here so its not an option

Sweet let us know man. I think the hype is already slowing down in my AO. Dealers are starting to "negotiate" pricing haha.

 

[gtolio]

I wonder how that is to drive, anyone have any experience with over 300hp in FWD?

I.

I Hope we get a AWD Type R for EU that is only we need.

There is really no need for the Type-R to have AWD, and I hope for the sake of weight that it doesn't get it.

Same lol. I have one that's tempting CW at $5k over. Dude says to come in and talk with the GM, he thinks I can get it lower but I feel like he's just blowing smoke.

Once you're there , the "limited edition" BS begins. I love how this car flips all dealer over, can't really blame them, after all they finally got a car they don't have to discount for.

Agreed, but I do hope they make a 300+ AWD something. I'm still thinking an Acura ILX-TypeR is possible with SH-AWD, and Automatic. I would also accept an AWD car if it was available as an alternative to the FWD CTR. It would be awesome to have Honda reliability in an AWD 6MT with 330hp... sub 5sec 0-60 all day.

There is a reason we too this race car originally built as an AWD...

And rebuilt it as a 2WD.

Weight and frictional losses.

This one is all wheel drive. 0-60 in under 3 seconds. Rally is probably a better representation of what is appropriate to the northern states of the US.

Another one of our projects. This is indeed one of the areas where AWD shines.

To be fair, we did change the TLX above back to AWD for Pikes Peak, it was very suited for that course, normal road courses, not so much.

Rally (gravel, sand, snow) is definitely better suited for AWD, but that's definitely not the common use of the street Type-R.

However, I am curious about the change back to AWD for Pikes Peak since the entire course is paved now. I'm sure it was warranted, or you guys wouldn't have done it, but can you give us some insight into that Kiwi?
