Honda Civic Type R 2023 with normal gear, front wheel drive and more power officially appears

 

An all-new Honda Civic Type R 2023 has been officially unveiled, which has become more powerful and is still a front-wheel drive and regular gear car. After recently revealing the all-new Honda CRV 2023 crossover, its sister, the Civic 2023 sports hatchback, was launched today. The new 2023 Civic Type R is Honda's most powerful R-branded car ever, and is arguably the most important car of the year The sixth model of the Civic R model that debuted in 1997, the Honda Civic Type R 2023 is based on the eleventh generation Honda Civic, but closely follows the identity of an older Civic Type R launched in 2017, meaning that The new 2023 runs unlike its sister Civic Si, which only comes as a sedan There was some wild speculation during the early development of the new model that it might convert to an AWD car, along with some more believable predictions that the 2023 car would adopt a mechanical hybrid system, or rely on a gear double-clutch, but the car as delivered is simpler as it is familiar . Honda has stuck to the current K20's turbocharged liter engine mated to a 6-speed manual, making only detailed improvements to both, although these changes mean the Type 2023 R generates more power, the US-market FK8 comes With 306 hp (310 hp PS) and 400 Nm of torque, the Japanese and European versions are rated at 316 hp (320 hp PS) so far.

But no matter how powerful the 2023 Honda Civic Type R will be, it will rely on a front-wheel drive system and will send power through a mechanical limited-slip differential. There are no performance numbers available, and Honda has not released acceleration and vehicle weight numbers. From the outside, this sporty hatchback got Brembo brakes from 4-pistons in the front, and it got 19-inch tires instead of 20 inches in the old model, surrounded by 265/30 ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S wheels. The interior of the 2023 car comes with a horizontal instrument screen for the eleventh generation of the Civic model, and a 10.2-inch touch screen for the infotainment system, and the look is enhanced by a simple leather-wrapped steering wheel. This car will specifically compete with the Volkswagen Golf R, and the price of a new Honda Civic Type R is expected to exceed 40 thousand US dollars.
