This one?

"Developed with input from tuner Olsbergs MSE, the Rallycross-bound Civic is powered by a purpose-designed engine that sends a solid 600 horsepower to all four wheels. Full performance specifications aren’t available yet, but Honda promises the Civic can hit 60 mph from a stop in just 1.9 seconds. In other words, it’s faster than even the acclaimed 1,500 horsepower Bugatti Chiron."

Honda’s Global Rallycross entry is a 6-hp Civic that does zero to 6 in just 1.9 seconds

Specs:

- 600 HP
- AWD
- 0-60 in 1.9s

1.9s?? Damn!! That's crazy fast!

I think I prefer this design rather than the Type R. It looks a lot cleaner, less clutter, more streamlined and sportier. But, not really sure whether they are going to produce this for the consumer market. If yes, this is going to be so awesome!!

Back in the day, MI PH had the option of removing the wing from the Subaru STI for a price. Ewan ko if that means just swapping in a standard Impreza trunk lid. Don't know if the option is still offered hehe. Mas prefer ko yung WRX look. The STI looks too racy na rin. Dapat may similar option offered for the Type R

To be blunt, I don't really like the looks of racy looking cars that was setup for the drag strip. They could really use design hints from German cars. It's just my personal preference. I simply like clean looking cars without the extra loud "accessories".

More specs:

2.0 liter engine
45mm Turbocharger

The Civic Type R was not meant for the drag strip. Honda designed to be a very capable FWD car for the track. It was meant to be an affordable track car which can still be a good daily driver.

What I meant was, "the looks" typical of a car on the drag strip and not about the performance. My first reaction when I first saw it in the showroom was, "Hmmm, where's the RS Turbo?" While rubbing my forehead, lol. The red badge and red interior was just too much for my eyes. Can't they just blend the color to match? Anyway, it's just a personal preference.

A childhood friend just came over our house in his type r, I got to try it out on the skyway.
With regards to speed matulin talaga, but there’s something off, pwera inggit pero parang may mali sa looks (fake vents?). Yes it looks mean, angry but still.
