Civic type r .....TURBO

[MS1COYS]

 

Mugen are working on a 210bhp n/a FN3 Type-R and rumour has it theyre also working a turbo charged 260bhp version. Remap potential of over 300bhp and in a car that weighs 300kg's less than a Gti or R

I think this is Honda's way of not just competing with the Focus ST and Gti, with their new 210bhp FN3. Especially with a vastly improved  0-60mph time of between 'supposedly' 5.9 and 6.1 seconds. But also trying to rival the Golf R and 1 Series M, with the 260bhp TB version. Capable of a 'supposed' 0-60mph time of around 5.3 seconds!

Whoop whoop

Personally I can't wait.

Well let's see. I wouldn't mind a remapped, retuned, 360bhp, 1150kg machine.....would you?

I would rather less power and na for a fun car. Turbos belong on diesels

Type R's were never that quick anyhow.

If the new civic weighs 1150kg I will eat my shoe. Anyway who cares.... its jap and they are crap. A honda will never match the refinement of a BMW of even a VW
