2023 Honda Civic Type R Rear Section Exposed after Crash Testing

2023 Honda Civic Type R Rear Section Exposed after Crash TestingAlso, a short video shows some CTRs that were damaged on a truck.

According to the post, a Japanese Twitter user managed to take a photo and video after undergoing crash testing. You can even see the rear suspension and exhaust pipes in the photo.

The image shows the Civic TypeR that is poorly covered. One portion of the rear wings is exposed by a hole in the tarp. The rear bumper and diffuser can be clearly seen. The single exhaust pipe is split into three sections at its rear. The outlet at the center, unlike the Civic Type R, is much larger than those on the sides. The tips are polished.

The cars are also covered with tarps in the video. You can see that the front ends of each vehicle are distorted from the crash tests, even though they are covered.

The Civic Type R is a five-door hatchback. The Type R has a more aggressive front with a trapezoidal opening at the lower fascia, and a larger upper grille that connects the headlights to the roof than the Civic models. The fenders are wider and have prominent side sills. The back is attached by a tall wing.

Honda will keep the powertrain of the new Civic Type R secret. It’s a turbocharged 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder. All reports indicate this. It is said to produce slightly more power than the CTR’s 316-horsepower figure (236-kilowatts) in certain markets. The front wheels would be driven by a six-speed manual.

In June , the new Civic Type R is expected to debut in Europe. We expect that the unveiling will take place at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which runs from Thursday June 23 to Sunday June 26. The vehicle for the United States will be at the Honda Indy 200 Mid-Ohio from July 1 to 3, but it will reportedly be disguised.
