We turned a few laps in the new Civic Type R—and rode shotgun with F1 world champion Max Verstappen.
"It's unlike any front-drive car I've ever driven; it's unlike any hot hatch I've ever driven. This car will be remembered for a very long time as the pinnacle of front-wheel-drive performance."
There's also a new active exhaust system, better cooling, an 18 percent lighter flywheel, a stiffer chassis, an even more precise shifter for what was already an insanely good gearbox, greater front and rear track widths, and suspension and steering Honda promises are better than ever. Wider wheels and tires are present, too, and the car rides 0.5 inch lower while measuring 0.6 inch wider, and features a 1.4-inch-longer wheelbase.
The harder he went, the better the car seemed to respond, never washing out into big understeer, the rear end at times getting quite loose and then gripping up easily time and again. The only moment anything went even slightly awry occurred when he botched a shift , the suspension coping impressively with an unexpectedly body-rattling track surface, the result of Harris Hill being built atop unstable clay ground just like what lies beneath the Circuit of the Americas tarmac F1 runs on.
Indeed, and in typical race-driver style, one of the first things he observed to a Honda rep after climbing from the Civic Type R following his initial laps was,"Oh good, you brought spares!"
