Looks like carandriver have finally posted their numbers for the FL5:

UPDATE 11/29/22: This review has been updated with test results.

Rolling Start, 5–60 mph: 5.9 sec
Top Gear, 30–50 mph: 9.4 sec
Top Gear, 50–70 mph: 6.4 sec
Top Speed (mfr's claim): 169 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 153 ft

Zero to 130 mph: 23.5 sec
Rolling start, 5–60 mph: 6.1 sec

Top gear, 50–70 mph: 6.9 sec
Top speed (drag limited, mfr's claim): 169 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 147 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.99 g


FK8 LE
60 mph: 4.8 sec
100 mph: 11.1 sec
1/4-Mile: 13.3 sec @ 110 mph
130 mph: 19.9 sec
Results above omit 1-ft rollout of 0.3 sec.
Rolling Start, 5–60 mph: 5.6 sec
Top Gear, 30–50 mph: 9.4 sec
Top Gear, 50–70 mph: 6.4 sec
Top Speed (mfr's claim): 169 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 151 ft

Of course different days / different conditions but overall performance seems to fall somewhere between the regular FK8 and LE.
Its the tires.

Civic Type R is
- Top Gear Car of the Year.
- Top Gear Hot Hatch of the year.
- Chris Harris' best car of the year.

And unsurprisingly, GT4RS - Sportscar of the Year. :)

Just watched this! I love it when I’m right and no a good thing when I see it! If it’s good enough for Chris Harris and Top Gear it’s good enough for me!🤘

The great reviews coupled with the UK price ($57k US equivalent...ouch) should make many US buyers feel a bit better about paying reasonable ADM.
