Honda Civic Type R Generations DRAG RACE
Переглядів 1,742,900
Рік томуCivic Type R fans, this one’s for you!
We’ve got our hands on every generation of Civic Type R, and they’re about to face off over the quarter mile to see just how much the Type R has evolved since 2001!
Now of course, it should come as no surprise that the older editions come at a disadvantage when it comes to power output. If you take a look at the original EP3, it comes with a 2-litre naturally-aspirated engine (with VTEC!) that can produce 200hp and 196Nm of torque. In comparison, the all-new FL5 comes with a 2-litre turbo petrol engine that can produce 320hp and 420Nm!
But of course, don’t forget that they’re all on a level playing field in that they’re all FWD, and they’re all manuals! The question is, will the new FL5 prove to be worth its eye-watering £47,000 price tag?
There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Very true and the interior in the FN2 looks was years ahead of any car of its time and still looks funky now. I have a GT one with the cruise control and all the extra climate control etc and it even has speech control in it. And let's not forget the seats If it wasn't for the FN2 as the grandad, it's grandchildren wouldn't have these features. Plus what they didn't clearly show was the sound of the VTech in the older cars beats any other newer ones. I've driven them all and they're yawnville compared with the sound. Just a slight mod on the FN2 you get so much more power for the money. The later ones. Yes, they have the turbo power and are very quick but you can't use it anywhere on our British roads anyway. 200 horsepower is plenty to have fun, especially on the back roads.

Interior may be look plain by modern standards, but that curved big 3D style dash on the bottom still unique and if it's a full LCD, it could look modern. FK8 may be the one look dated in the future since Honda is now going for more subdued and mature looks. Though FK8 will be unique over stylise car in the future for sure.

Love my EP3 had mine since June 2020, 137k for £3500 1 owner from new. Loved it, spent a lot of money and could spend double again and not be satisfied. Sitting at 153k and still sings away to 8600rpm. Such easy cars to work on I've self taught myself a lot of mechanical and service work all because of Honda's especially the older generations, would have been good if you could have got an EK9 in the mix too!

i have a FN2 , love this car because it looks pretty modern for a 2006 car , honestly inside , in the EP3 you can clearly see how old he is . I own my car for 8,5 years and still have fun to drive it . I put in a cold air intake and every time the V-tec kicks in it sounds amazing . N/A for ever . And it doesnt matter to me that its the slowest here , i am not a racer and for to have fun on normal roads its more than enough , and more than enough to loose your driving license ...🙂when i want to go really fast i put out my CBR ...
@CarefreeCFC83 Рік тому
The FN2 driver probably left traction control on, which will slow it off the line, otherwise they normally do 1/4 mile in 15 sec when stock (16.3 was bloody awful here).
@blazeclarke Рік тому
@@CarefreeCFC83 to be fair though - none of these cars hit their ideal 1/4 mile time. I've seen all of them do it faster, perhaps just the conditions on the day? It does make sense that the FN2 would be slower given the weight, lower torque figure - and doesn't it also have a lower redline, and a peak power figure higher up in the RPMs as well? Meaning it's got a smaller power band overall. Could be wrong on the last bit there. I'm by no means saying it's a worse car btw, just not as quick as the gen before.

The front of the FK2 is the best looking of any hatchback ever. The led lights are on supercar/hyper level. Especially when you see one of these in your rear view mirror at night. I don't know how they've gone so backwards.
@FutureDeltaPilot747 Рік тому
Exactly! Looked very mature and could have evolved. Over here in the states people complained about the bland design. We didnt have the cool LED, but the FK2 people didnt like the the shape. The FK2 was the sweet spot. The FK8 was not what we wanted, the FL5 kinda reminds me of the FK2 but nothing beats the old Civic headlights.

Too bad it's a bit heavy and slow, but it's NA, the others have turbo. There is a faster MUGEN version. FK2 looks better today, than it looked when it came out, i agree

Can we all agree that the day we lost full VTEC to a turbo was a sad day? This is what Honda Australia said about turbos back in the good old days: "No bolting on of a turbocharger to give silly power figures. All Type R engines are normally-aspirated, which deliver smoother power delivery throughout the rev range, allowing power to be transferred through the chassis more easily, improving traction and acceleration"
