OFFICIAL: 2023 Civic Type R Reveal Photos, Wallpapers & Videos

[BluR88]

330PS (+10PS) and 420 N.m (+20N.m)

That translates to roughly 325hp & 309 lb-ft.

Of course this is the JDM spec. USDM spec may be different....

It’s currently at 136 (USD to Yen) and a great time to import JDM goods for those Gunpla fans

Another pro of a strong dollar is it should incentivize Honda to sell a higher ratio of cars in the US than before, because they’ll pay workers and Japanese suppliers in Yen and then get paid in Dollars by American customers.

Well looking at this data sheet its gonna be 330hp at the minimum (2 times 165, since I estimate its 165hp per litler they are trying to show, minimum)

So 90% of those American idiot reviewers who didnt even did the effort to research, that state it will be around 310-315hp, are already wrong.
Because they failed to look up that the EU (and Japan) spec Type R's of the current generation already made 320hp!

That irritating ADHD dude from Redline reviews made an estimated guess of around 310 or was it 308 hp for the new Type R
Come on, that would be even less than the 320hp the current Type R makes in Europe...it shows how arrogant and lazy that dude is....like many ot the American reviewers or that matter. (not all of them)

1 PS = 0.9863 HP

US FK8: 310 PS / 306 HP
EU FK8: 320 PS / 316 HP (and Japan)

JP FL5: 330 PS / 325 HP (and probably EU)
US FL5: ~320 PS / ~316 HP (estimated)

Sofyan (Redline Reviews) said 310 HP so he‘s probably off by 6. Not the end of the world.

Even with 20hp, its not going to be noticeably faster… dont try pulling on a coyote mustang.

anyone who uses the ctr in a straight line is a bozo

A higher torque number might make it more fun in the mid range though. Top speed might be increased as well.

i expect better torque all the way to redline. Some magic juju is on that intake box.

It’s a box full of angry hornets buzzing more air to the turbo.

I would never consider this car a straight line beast. I'd buy different cars if I cared more about power.

Based on Japanese interviews and materials (thanks google translate), when they designed the car, goals in their mind were not exactly measurable. They wanted to bring that feeling, that driver connection to a whole new level. It seems there's a lot of rework in a bunch of areas in suspension and aero. Every single thing was scrutinized. Based on this, I'm super excited that this is going to take the crown as THE driver's car to have.

On the power side, they talked about bringing down the boost lag further with lighter impeller and some other things. Lighter flywheel compared to fk8. There's probably more, but they didn't want to make so much power that it becomes less enjoyable.

Seems like this is the kind of driver's car that would create an addiction beyond what fk8 has done. That's exactly what I'm looking for to replace my long gone K20A Acura.
