Today I'll be posting (not my car), yeah I wish it was my car too. Honda Civic Type R. An old picture last year during my visit on Malaysia Autoshow 2017, held at MAEPS, Serdang.
Notice the 3 exhaust pipes at the rear? The outer two will be used if you're hitting the throttle gently while the middle one will be opened during massive throttle. Defnitely a plus point for this.
This car held a record at Nurburgring circuit, Germany with laptime of 7 minutes 43 seconds. (7:43:80). One of the fastest FF car that time. You can watch it on YouTube here :
The older Type R once broke an old record back then in 2015, not surprised though as cars are getting lighter, eco-friendlier and faster. There are always competitiveness between car manufacturers which is one of the important factor for them to improvise and compete with each other.
Specifications :
Engine : 2.0 Litre VTEC turbo
Drivetrain : Front Wheel Drive
Max Power : 310 PS or 306 bhp at 6500 RPM
Max torque : 400 Nm or 300 lbft at 2500–4500 RPM
0 to 100 kmh : 5.8 seconds
Top Speed : 272 km/h
I really like this improvised model, unfortunately one thing I did not like was the engine sound. Previous model which was N/A (Natural Aspiration) engine have a pure VTEC engine roaring sound (FD2R) model. I guess we have to move on, catching up with newer technologies.
I wish its my car too 😂

They didn't let you get on the platform?
I was at MAEPS too during the autoshow, we got to sit in it and open the hood, which was generous of Honda.
Couldn't say the same, for example, Volvo, who were quite anal about ppl getting in their car and opening up their hood lol!

Not really, it is guarded by stanchion. No one was there or anyone supervising it, that's the closest shot I can get to unfortunately.
