Specification
The full sheet
A Nürburgring record-holder you can use every day — a turbo VTEC hot hatch with a manual gearbox, huge grip and genuine track pace.
Power-to-price framing
Honda Civic Type R carries 329 bhp at roughly RM 4.0 per horsepower per day. Forced induction means peak torque arrives low and stays flat, so overtakes happen in whatever gear you are already in.

About Honda
The company that treats a naturally aspirated engine as a moral position.
Honda is an engine company that happens to build cars, and the evidence is everywhere in its history: VTEC variable valve timing that gave road cars motorcycle-style top-end urgency, a Formula One programme that produced the most dominant engine of the turbo era, and a stubborn commitment to high-revving atmospheric units long after the rest of the industry moved on. Soichiro Honda was a mechanic before he was an industrialist and the culture never lost that.

† RM / bhp is the daily self-drive rate divided by the manufacturer’s brake horsepower, to one decimal. It is a blunt instrument — it ignores tyre width, kerb weight and where the torque actually lives — and it is still the fastest way to see what a badge is charging you. Power bars are scaled against 375 bhp.
