Mass Production start up in 2017. so the next platform, not the existing one....
OK,, then what ever year is the next Full model change for the civic. 2016, perhaps? It is coming.....
THis one here.... 2015 or 2016 model year maybe? I will ask when it will actually be on sale here. It is the coming Full model change for the civic.
I think all these Jalopnik posts need to be the best 20 , not best 10
Sweet lord, man, what do you not understand about what I am saying. It is already approved. The next Type R will be in the USA. Europe and USA will have the same platform underneath. HRAO (honda r&d in raymond ohio) is already crash testing the next civic with the turbo motor in it for US certification! I saw…
I will take that bet, and raise you your car! Mark my words, the new Civic is a NEW global platform and Type R WILL be sold here along side the Civic Si. Type R 289hp 2.0L turbo,, Si = 1.5L 200hp turbo.
I KNOW with out a doubt that the Type R is being made for US market, US crash tests and US gasoline. US everything! WHat you say is true for the old platform, but not this one. Engineers at the Honda R&D facility in Raymond Ohio are making sure the Type R will be sold in the USA>
False. The new platform is World wide! (Yes the old one was very different) BUT This Civic is a Full model change. Type R will be US market!
Next Civic Si = 1.5L turbo 200hp USA market
It won't look like that, but the Type R is coming to the states! Mark my words, it WILL be sold here!
3.5L V6. DOHC Twin Turbo. 75 deg bank angle, 500+HP. I have been told the intake manifold for it looks suspiciously similar to the big plenum like the old F1 turbo V6's of yesteryear....
seriously!!!
I drove my first AMG just the other week. I didn't really get to hoon it much, just one blast up an on ramp, and those V8's are divine!
Make that picture the 2nd generation M coupe and it is a freaking twin!!
Please, in no way do I mean to be a smart ass at this point. FOrgive me if you think that I am being one. I truly do not mean to be. HOWEVER... Commuting in a shifterkart, ( let's assume glass smooth fresh black top roads every where) WOULD BE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried very hard not getting involved in this OP's troll's fest, but in actual handling of a car, so many things are more important than a car's cg, (although that is a great place to start.) Yes the WRX drive train layout is great for what it is, and inherently better in terms of c.g., yaw moment, ect, than its…
I need a much bigger picture of this for my desktop!
Make mine the pretty dark green please!
Where does this plug into my Demon Carb?? I don't see any plugs on my distributor, either.... Mopar or no car!
