■ Big minor change version postponed release this summer again
The current Civic Type R debuted in July 2017, but the base Civic itself has appeared in North America, followed by Europe in the fall of 2015, and a full model change of the Civic itself is planned next year, 2021 And development is in progress.
Type R is also available for the next-generation Civic, and like the current model, development with Type R in mind has been underway since the beginning.
This is the current type of big minor change that has already been announced. 320ps/40.8lgm engine unchanged
Speaking of the Civic Type R, sales are temporarily suspended at the moment, but as Honda announced it, it is due to a major minor change to further improve the steering performance.
Although the content has already been announced, although the engine specifications have not changed, the opening of the front grill is enlarged to enhance the cooling performance that becomes a neck when driving on the circuit, and the aerodynamic performance deteriorated by it is underspoiler. It is a real maniac, such as keeping it almost even by devising the shape etc.
For chassis tuning, we have also made changes to improve the trackability by reducing the friction of the front ball joint and the rear ground contact by increasing the amount of rear suspension toe-in, which is also a maniac but surely raises the level.
Originally, this Big My Chen had already been planned to start selling, but it has been announced that the release will be postponed due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
It is the information of the "next generation type R" in the middle of that.
■400ps with 2L turbo + motor!?
The Best Car Scoop Team captured the appearance of the Type R, which is based on the body of the new Civic that repeats test runs.
Prediction CG by the best car. By optimizing the shape of the body, aerodynamic additives are minimized, giving a refreshing impression.
Although the test car is camouflaged, it is clearly a new model with a silhouette that is clearly different from the current Civic.
It is clear from the engine sound that it has a turbo engine. Perhaps this is an in-line 4-cylinder 2L turbo, like the current model.
This is also a predicted CG by the best car. As for Honda, there is a reflection that the aerodynamic adjunct for downforce is the drag factor in the current Type R.
More interesting information is that the new Civic Type R will use torque vectoring 4WD, which drives the rear wheels with two motors.
This has been put to practical use in the legend, and the system that has been reversed before and after is adopted in NSX.
The engine is expected to be equipped with an in-line 4-cylinder turbo that will also be installed in the current model. According to the latest information, it is equipped with a system that drives the rear with two motors like the one adopted in Legend, and the system output will be 400 ps!
By driving the rear wheels with a motor, the system output can reach 400ps, while achieving more stable maneuverability.
A full model change for the entire Civic is planned for next year, and the Type R is planned for 2022.
