Setting a Record of 7:44.881 Seconds
The Type R didn't just complete the track, leaving its competitors in the dust; it set the overall track record. Surpassing the previous record held by a Renault Megane RS Trophy-R model, the 2023 Civic Type R achieved this feat on a slightly longer track. What factors contributed to this impressive accomplishment?
Focused on Performance
Engineered as the most powerful Civic model ever produced, the Type R is street-legal but designed to excel on the race track. It offers an exceptional driving experience for those who know how to harness its performance capabilities. Driver-centric vehicles like the Type R are rare gems.
Innovative Dual-Axis Front Suspension
The suspension system plays a vital role in enabling high-performance racing. The Type R boasts a dual-axis MacPherson front suspension, ensuring precise steering and exceptional cornering. This design empowers drivers to dominate the roads they encounter.
Controlled by a Manual Transmission
Taking matters into your own hands is often the key to success. This philosophy extends to Type R drivers who relish the thrill of being in control. The Civic Type R manual transmission is not ordinary; it incorporates shift link technology. This allows drivers to have complete command over the vehicle, providing an edge over other FWD cars.
