Ata shade under 1400kg (about 70kg heavier than a regular Civic RS), the fifth-gen Type R is about 350kg heavier than the 1997 Civic Type R but it’s a handy 100kW more powerful at 228kW, not to mention 250Nm to the good at 400Nm. It’s not a porker by standards, though, and that torque piles in hot and strong right around 3000rpm.

TheType R name first appeared in 1992, with the debut of the first-generation NSX Type R. Honda’s aim was to develop a car which delivered overwhelming driving pleasure and the speed of a racing car, powered by a 3.0-litre V6 engine producing 280 PS.
Hondaknows not to mess around too much with a winning formula, so the heart of the Type R remains the same; it’s a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 316bhp and 400Nm
Ithink its Awesome a Turbo Civic is close to 2015 Civic Si 6.5sec 0 to 60. But most dealers are selling a 2015 Si for 20k flat to move them. And a 2015 can be Turbocharged to 300whp easy. Turning the 2015 into a 5.0 sec 0 to 60 car. I just dont see the value in a 27k 1.5T civic touring vs a 20k leftover 2015 Si.
. #4. If you plug in the gear ratios including final drive and tire diameter in a calculator, shifting at 7000RPM pegs second gear at 43 MPH, so you still need to reach for 3rd to get to 60 so it will probably be around 6.3~ ish seconds, maybe quicker depending on the launch and shift action by the driver.
