Watch A 1500bhp Honda Civic Smash 0-60mph In 1.1 Seconds

This team ran six monstrous Civics at the Haltech World Cup Finals, with incredible results

Since we live in a world where a tuned two-tonne BMW barge can hit 0-62mph in 2.6 seconds, we’re getting desensitised to silly acceleration figures. Something fast enough and unlikely enough, however, can still be attention-grabbing. Such as this Honda Civic.

Once of six Civics run by an outfit called P-Racing at the Haltech World Cup Finals (late last year, when car events were still a thing), the all-wheel drive monster is - incredibly - still running a K24 inline-four mounted in its original transverse position. There’s not a lot of the original engine left, however - it’s been given a billet crankshaft, new pistons from JE, a whole new top end, and a 76mm Garrett turbocharger. Running around 60psi, it’s good for roughly 1500bhp.

As a result, it was able to clock an astonishing 7.45-second quarter-mile pass, hitting 0-62mph in 1.1 seconds and crossing the line at 186mph.

The run in question is at the three-minute mark, in case you’re getting confused about which Civic is which, but it’s worth sticking around for the whole video. Each of P-Racing’s Civics is impressive in its own way, and there’s some great footage of the cars tearing down the strip.

My favorite thing about this is that awd isn’t even that blasphemous in the terms of 5th gen civics, since the sedan had an awd version
