Out of curiosity, which year Type R did that lap? I'm familliar with the EK9 generation from the 90s, is this lap in one of the newer models from the last years?
- wlesieutre 3y agoThat time is a 2017. The 2023 actually went faster, but the lap length changed in 2019 so its 7:44.9 time isn’t directly comparable. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2023-honda-civic-type-r-nurburgring-track-record/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/2023-honda-civic-type-r-nurb...
- sundvor 3y agoAnd the 2023 was a stripped down version only available in Europe as well, that + the track change is why I looked up the 2017 numbers to compare properly.
- wlesieutre 3y agoHa, I missed that. “Type R S” sold in left hand drive European markets to let them call it a production car lap time, as if anyone actually wants a Civic with no air conditioning.
- sundvor 3y agoThis quoted lap time would be from the 2017 FK8; it was seriously impressive, especially in my books. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_Type_R https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_Type_R I eventually ended up with an electric car instead (Tesla LR3), but spent hours looking at this - and the Subaru WRX.
