Direct from Honda's Press kit:
"The 2017 Civic Type R is features the most powerful engine ever offered in a Honda production vehicle in America. The Type R’s 2.0-liter 16-valve i-VTEC® DOHC direct-injected, turbocharged powerplant advances performance on multiple fronts with a peak output of 306 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. The Civic Type R is the absolute pinnacle of Civic performance, and ranks as the fastest Honda production automobile ever offered in America, with a track top speed of approximately 170 mph.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is made by Honda of America Mfg. at its Anna, Ohio engine plant using domestic and globally sourced parts. Completed engines are shipped to Honda of the U.K. Manufacturing in Swindon, England, where the Type R is manufactured. Specifically engineered for direct injection and turbocharging, with an ultra-lightweight forged steel crankshaft and forged steel connecting rods, the Type R powerplant is designed to offer maximum torque output in the mid-rpm range to provide instantly accessible power.
Offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, the high-strength gearbox offers a short-throw shift action and closely spaced ratios tailored to suit the 2.0-liter turbo’s power delivery. A driver-selectable rev-matching feature smooths high performance upshifts and downshifts, and Launch Control helps optimize off-the line traction for maximum acceleration. And to help put the power to the ground, a helical limited-slip front differential is standard.
The Civic Type R engine is Tier3 Bin125 / LEV3-ULEV125 emissions compliant. Though the Civic Type R offers impressive performance, the efficient engine and transmission, along with excellent aerodynamics and low running resistance, result in EPA fuel economy ratings1 of 22/28/25 city/highway/combined mpg."

As someone who dislikes turbo noise and delay, I couldn't agree more. Thus, this is another reason the S2000 still stands out against all these turbo charged 4 cyl that are now produced to give the same driving appeal. It's zippy without the extra whine.
@austinsherwood7188
@austinsherwood7188 7 лет назад
SpiritedxDriver most cars that have a performance version are almost like the same vehicle as the base vehicle. This one is completely different from the base civic and even the si, so I completely agree that they didn't just throw type r badge on this car they actually thought of it. To be honest when Honda came out saying they were doing this car I didn't think it could even level with the focus RS and seeing this video as one of the first actual driving video and not prototype type r I think it can top the focus RS.

@4G12
@4G12 7 лет назад
Loping Camshaft Unfortunately, fully complying with latest emissions regulations with absolutely zero rev hang is simply unrealistic once you understand that the reason the smooth out the throttle closing is to prevent the sudden lack of intake airflow causing a transient dip in AFR, which creates a lot of unburnt hydrocarbons.
@LysergikFuneral
@LysergikFuneral 7 лет назад
You're right that is the cause, but I don't think it's the only way to solve the emissions issue. It comes across more as manufacturers either being lazy or cheap to use other solutions. It's mostly in lower to medium-end sporty cars (say, below $40k).

well deserved - love the channel. Btw EE we have the 9th generation ctr in Europe and it's more or less the same car with a bit different rear suspension setup and no blipping module - a bit more harsh than this one but still very similar in terms of the tech - they used this platform as their testing grounds for the release of this one for the us market and it surpassed the expactations - that is why you've just driven the x ctr for the us market - if their expirement failed on the 9th gen hatch you'd not be having that at all :) so gg Honda :) the us getting it is also great news for the eu market - because we will be getting lots of mods and tuning stuff for this car and it is finally exactly the same car on both continents.

Hrithik Jayanth basically water (instead of H²O it's HO²) and it keeps your blinkers from fogging up and causing an accident. if a cop catches you without it, it's a $2000 fix it ticket. better run to AutoZone, because if you don't know about it you may be low.

@EngineeringExplained

If it's going to remain on pavement, the Type R is more fun. STI engine is too dated and doesn't pull like the R. 0-60 times won't tell the full story because AWD will shine there, but for daily use (and those who don't drop clutches regularly) the R is far more refined and drivable. If you want fun in the snow, I've never owned a car that gripped like my '14 STI. 3 LSD's makes it magical in low grip scenarios haha. Of course, as I always mention, you're limited by your tires. 62% weight up front and a helical diff will mean the Type R should be fine in the snow, especially with the right tires. I've driven my S2000 in the snow with all seasons and it did alright, LSD helps a lot.

@tychay
@tychay 7 лет назад
Usually because it saves space and weight. It's also a bit safer because it doesn't bypass the anti-lock system. In this case it's because the base design of the Civic 10th gen has an electronic break, and the Type-R is based on it, doing a redesign to make the car arguably worse doesn't make sense. I find it interesting that since the addition of hill-assist, in areas where manual transmissions are more popular (e.g. outside the US), ebrakes are more popular. So clearly this is one feature that is more a function of us just not being used to it yet rather than being unnecessary luxury add-on that will fall by the wayside.

Two things. One, you keep mentioning how much lighter it is then cars with AWD, that's not exactly fair considering the AWD systems probably weigh as much as the difference in weight. Second, love the rear wiper!!!

I knew I wasn't the only person thinking this. I would say adding in a transfer case, driveshaft, rear differential, and rear axles adds a lot more than 200-300 lbs.
@kabob21
@kabob21 6 лет назад
What's your point? He's saying it's lighter because it's FWD precisely because it doesn't have extra rear-drive components weighing it down. Makes for less drivetrain losses and a better handling car on high-speed corners.

Here is something he said in another comment :" If it's going to remain on pavement, the Type R is more fun. STI engine is too dated and doesn't pull like the R. 0-60 times won't tell the full story because AWD will shine there, but for daily use (and those who don't drop clutches regularly) the R is far more refined and drivable. If you want fun in the snow, I've never owned a car that gripped like my '14 STI. 3 LSD's makes it magical in low grip scenarios haha. Of course, as I always mention, you're limited by your tires. 62% weight up front and a helical diff will mean the Type R should be fine in the snow, especially with the right tires. I've driven my S2000 in the snow with all seasons and it did alright, LSD helps a lot."

Well if the FF layout was so important to the cars "heritage" then why didn't they put in a high revving Vtec engine.... That argument isn't good enough.
@buncho888
@buncho888 7 лет назад
MannyFresh1x I think the real reason is for the low emissions required in Europe. An NA engine with that much hp and capacity wouldn't pass. So turbocharging is the way of the future unfortunately.

"Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements" or "Radically Immature Car Enthusiasts"? This Type-R is legit. Honda's Type-R program has always been legit, and their performance engineers know their stuff. Form follows function on this new Civic Type-R and it has legitimate, performance-engineering-based reasons for its design.
@ghostassassin1107
@ghostassassin1107 7 лет назад
Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. And I know the Type R is a good performer, but there are cavemen that will call it a ricer because it's a Honda. As long as I can remember everyone called a Honda a ricer. The Type R seems to be stuck with that just as the Mustang is stuck with the Cars and Coffee curse. Personally, I don't like the way the car is designed but the performance more than makes up for it.

This Civic Type-R has a horridly ugly exterior but this car is sexy AF! This car seems ridiculously fun to drive. If I had $35k I would buy this car. I'm currently in a '14 Focus ST (cheap fun thrills) but this Civic is VERY appealing.
@MCOGroupNews
@MCOGroupNews 7 лет назад
ldisc66 AND yet some people still call it ugly? I don't get it, I hate rice as much as anyone else, but come on it's stock. It really doesn't look that bad, it looks sexy, masculine, everything I've ever wanted a hot hatch to look,feel, and drive like THERE IS BEAUTY BEYOND THE RICE MY FRIENDS.
@ColinMcray

Navysealsnake Sexy ? Really ? I mean, that's your opinion and i respect it but this car is the opposite of sexy..
@MCOGroupNews
@MCOGroupNews 7 лет назад
Colin Mcray1997 Don't get me wrong there's definitely sexier cars out there. Maybe sexy wasn't the right word to use, but my point is I really don't think it's a bad looking car at all. I think it looks better than any other hot hatch out there (particularly the Golf R, Focus looks okay), most other hot hatches look drab and boring.
@ColinMcray
@ColinMcray 7 лет назад
Navysealsnake I see your point , and i kinda agree , i agree 100% that the car is not as ugly as everyone is saying , but still to my eyes its a bit too much (too busy). In my opinion the Focus RS is the best looking hot hatch. But that's just my opinion.
@MCOGroupNews
@MCOGroupNews 7 лет назад
Colin Mcray1997 I think the focus looks pretty pleasing as well, it's got the right balance of curves and edges, sure the civic goes a little over the top, but it's still somewhat pleasant to look at.
