FL5 Type R chassis code confirmed? w/ close up look - from Hondaprojason

There it is! I'm really excited! Take my Money Honda!!! Lol.

Chassis code confirmed! FL5. (NOTE: HPJ put this on IG post but in his YouTube video, he said he's only guessing. So not officially confirmed)

I was really hoping that they would actually reveal the car. We've been seeing it camoed for almost a year now

I mean at this point they’re acting like it’s a new McLaren

Lol. Yeah, it's been wrapped for too long. But it is confirmed for a full reveal on the 20th so that we knew already.

This is a really good look at the body curves, spoiler mounting closeup, and confirm some more functional vents.

Some pictures are also on Facebook.

I mean, to be fair, a lot of manufacturers do this. Don’t think it matters if it’s a Mclaren or not, probably just protocol. And I bet they sell more Type Rs, than 675LTs lol

Anybody know the the naming convention behind FL5? Kinda weird to jump from FK8 to FL5

Well, it was FK2, FN2, EP3, and EK9 before that. I’d be interested in the specifics on the number, as well.

…we’re all here trying to figure out the meaning, and it’ll turn out to be some guy picked a random number lmao

Take that back, it almost looks like the number has to do with the number of the civic model, with the largest number being reserved for the Type R? Who knows…

This is the first generation to enter China and I have order it in our local when I see the picture from Newburgring…I just hope Honda to take the camo off. Btw, seriously Honda still not upgrade led taillights? I mean even the cheapest Chinese car all use the led lights.

They are full LEDs. European, Japanese markets get the adaptive LEDs with cornering lights.

Ooopps, I misread as headlights. My bad

Hopefully @TypeRLEDs will improvise a solution for the rear turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights.

Probably because there are no more numbers left (FK9 is already taken for an international market Civic X) and Honda doesn’t do double digits for chassis codes so next letter after K is L. FL1 and FL2 are for the 1.5T and 2.0 hatches, and Wikipedia says in international markets FL4 is the hybrid hatch. I‘m guessing FL3 is either unannounced or undocumented so next up is FL5.
