Honda is a recurring entrant in the Japanese Super GT championship. During the last years, the person in charge of representing the honor of the brand was the NSX, but after its end of production, it was time to show its replacement, which is nothing more and nothing less than the Honda Civic Type R, the which will compete in the GT500 Class starting in the 2024 season.
Honda Racing Corporation has been quite proactive in introducing the Honda Civic Type R And it is that in this championship we found true legends such as the Toyota Supra or Nissan GT-R -recently replaced by the Nissan Z GT500-.
For now, the Honda Civic Type R-GT is a concept, but it looks very close to what we will see on the tracks from 2024. It stands out for a low, wide and aerodynamic body with large spoilers and air inlets. The chassis is a carbon fiber monocoque and unlike the production model, here the propulsion is rear. A livery reminiscent of the MotoGP prototypes is printed on the four-door body.
As for the engine, Honda Racing Corporation resorts to the already familiar 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, only here the power is increased to 650 horsepower. Much more than the 326 hp of the street model.
The 2023 Super GT season will start on April 15 and will consist of 8 dates. The last time Honda were champions was in 2020, so this Civic Type R He will seek to write his own story.
