12 Dec The New Civic Type R – A Closer Look

Tech Inspection of the New Civic Type R

By Brian Gillespie

We Have a New Project Car

Well look what we have here. This is the all new 2018 Civic Type R. The fastest FWD car made today. A modern miracle of design and manufacturing. We poked and prodded around looking for hidden surprises, trick engineering and what makes this thing so good.

Next, we pull the engine out. That’s right, we pulled the engine out. All for the benefit of educating you the viewer. In our part 2 we will take a closer look at the engine and do some comparisons to a K24 and the L15B7 turbo engines.

Nothing but Hondas. That’s exactly what you’ll find at VTEC Academy. Not because some of the other automakers’ cars that inherently drain the life out of the driving experience bore us, but because Soichiro Honda’s passion for motorsports and his company’s ability to express that in the machines they produce make a whole lot of sense.

VTEC Academy is a place for Honda fans who feel the same way and who seek the most accurate technical information and commentary to continue that very legacy and make whatever Honda it is that they drive just a little bit better. And faster.

The editors and contributors of VTEC Academy are some of the industry’s most experienced and trusted, which means the informative, unique perspectives you need are all right here. And, like you, we’re also obsessed with Hondas.
