Here's A Drag Race Featuring All Generations Of Civic Type R

This group test brings together every kind of Honda Civic Type R ever sold in the UK for drag races, a brake test and a track showdown
Remote video URL

Featuring all the Civic Type Rs sold in the UK over the years (nope, that doesn’t include the EK9 I’m afraid), this group test from Car Wow plays out pretty much as you’d expect. The FK2 and FK8 are fairly close during the standing and rolling start drag races, the EP3 is the most fun due to being lift-off oversteer prone, and the standard FN2 is just a bit rubbish at everything. Aside from braking, weirdly.

But the Mugen version of the FN2 is the dark horse here - it runs the two turbocharged Type Rs surprisingly close in the standing start race, and would you just listen to the way it sounds!

We know which one we’d want to take home - how about you?

There’s only 3 VTEC cars here. The FK2 (my favorite) and the FK8 are turbocharged.

is it just me, or is it that as you go up the generations, the cars start to look more hilariously weird?

The more modern they get, the more they look like they’re desperately trying to be cool.

Shame the fn2’s suspension was aligned properly from the factory to help exploit it’s better chassis over the the ep3.

The FN2 had the rear subframe and suspension from a Fit/Jazz. It had a worse chassis…

Is there a chance for a Viper generation drag race? It would be interesting to see how the original RT/10 would fair against the modern GTS.
