The Formula One season is returning to France this year, but Honda has already beaten its F1 team by sending the Civic Type R to the Magny-Cours Grand Prix circuit, where the hot hatch set a new lap record for front-wheel-drive production cars. With road legal tires and World Touring Car Cup driver Esteban Guerrieri…
Just over a month ago, Honda announced its intent to break the front-wheel-drive (FWD) production record at several of the greatest European circuits with the Civic Type R. It already set the Nürburgring Nordschleife record in 2017 and started the 2018 run with France’s former F1 circuit in Magny-Cours. Now it has set a new…
Photo: Honda There’s nothing new about car mods, but cars that have no business being anywhere near dirt that get converted into off-roading machines hold a special place in our hearts. This time, we’re talking about the Honda Civic Type R. Honda’s UK branch today revealed two very radical Type Rs, one created by Team…

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: if Honda ever decides it wants out of the automotive industry rat race, the company should consider trying its hand at filmmaking. From last year’s UNI-CUB OK Go music video, to the recent M.C. Escher-esque CR-V promo, this company knows how to make compelling (and frequently mind-bending)…
Last week, we (joyously) reported the news that America was finally getting… Because Honda has made us wait so long for the European-spec production… Yesterday, we got our (and probably your) hopes up by spreading the…
Honda’s new CEO, Takahiro Hachigo, is spearheading an ambitious effort to make English the official language of the automaker’s interregional communications. It may seem odd for a Japanese CEO to want his Japanese company to use English as its work language, but there’s something even more ironic you should know about Hachigo: he’s a car…

One very lucky (and presumably very generous) person will soon get to take home the very first 2017 Honda Civic Type R in the world, when Honda auctions off Vehicle Identification Number 01 online beginning June 7th to raise money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The fastest, most powerful Honda ever produced for the…
A still from the new teaser video for the 2015 Honda Civic Type R production model Performance enthusiasts have been waiting a long time for the Honda Civic Type R to become a reality. We’ve seen our fair share of concepts, promotional videos, and spy shots of the Type R, but one thing we still…
Photo: Honda The Suzuka Circuit in Japan ranks among the most iconic race tracks in the world, and is regularly rated by drivers as one of the most fun to lap. And now, it has a new front-wheel-drive track record, set by none other than the new 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition. The…
