The dealerships that aren't taking deposits yet are smart. Why would they take 6-10 deposits for customers wanting the vehicle within the first 12 months its intially released knowing very good and well that they MIGHT not see more than 6-8 total during the 3-4 years they are produced. Plus no pricing yet.
Multiple deposits to ensure quick sale to push for more production on the next line.

Nice, prominent water pump...looks to be feeding directly to the Turbo. That should be a good thing for keeping the turbo 'cool'er.

By cooler I mean under 800°F

Red engine cover confirmed! He said it comes with the car!

I think this guy still don't know much about the car, after all he doesn't know what K20C3 is.

I wonder dat red cover is optional lmao.

Didn't he say a couple thousand but then the interviewer tried to clarify as less than 10k, but more than 1 or 2k and he said yes to both questions?

I definitely think they are going to be 8.5. It is not like he said they are 20x8. The interviewer said 20x8 and he just didn't object. The guy also didn't seem all that comfortable with the details regarding the car. When more specific questions regarding downforce and etc where brought up, he kind of talked around them

He probably didn't know what you were talking about. No Honda has ever had real downforce, except the new nsx

I am pretty sure that the last generation Type R produced negative lift, hence downforce. So I would think this car at least matches the old car. That being said I would be curious as to how much downforce is actually created
