With a time of 7:44.881, Honda snatches away the FWD 'Ring record from Renault leaving the Megane RS in the dust
— but this was, of course, on the shorter 20.6 km track, so that time is not representative of modern record attempts.With the record set in Germany, it seems likely that the car in question is the ever so slightly more powerful European-spec Type R. Powered by Honda’s K20C1 turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine, the hot hatch makes 325 hp vs. the U.S. model’s 315 hp .
This time’s record was set on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect tires, which were jointly developed by Honda with the French tire manufacturer. The Cup 2 tires are described as a premium track day tire, and while the Civic Type R normally comes on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires, the Cup 2 Connects are available for customers to purchase through Honda dealers.
