So recently at Geneva Honda unveiled the production spec Civic Type R in all its huge wing glory. They also showed this video which as you will see, if you watch it, is the new Type R breaking the production front wheel drive lap record that was held by Renault. But there is a but in all this the car is a pre-production Type R (Rollcage for one) and Honda have admitted its a pre-production car so the line on is the Type R the fastest FWD production car becomes blurred.
Video Description:
The 2015 Civic Type R’s 7:50.63 seconds lap time of Nurburgring is unmatched in the front-wheel drive hot hatch class. This lap time was achieved during the development test in May 2014 by a contracted pro test driver.
