A new generation of Civic Type-R appeared at Suzuka Circuit in Japan

Honda’s next-generation Civic Type-R, which is expected to debut in 2022, will be announced on October 4, 2021 to begin road testing on the Neuberlin circuit in Germany, and the prototype photos of the new-generation Civic Type-R will also be announced at the same time. The headlights in the photo also reflect a Toyota Alphard, so it is judged that this photo was taken in Japan. Sure enough, on December 13, Honda released a series of photos of a new generation of Civic Type-R prototypes tested at the Suzuka Circuit in Mie Prefecture, Japan.

Has the test on the New Berlin circuit come to an end?

So far, the test images of the new generation of Civic Type-R prototypes on the Newberlin circuit have been exposed many times, but recently they have gradually decreased. It can be seen that the test on the Newberlin circuit has come to an end. The content of the test at the Suzuka Circuit is estimated to be adjusted to the condition of a general circuit in response to the original adjustment of the New Berlin circuit. Perhaps there is a high possibility that the test will be carried out in other circuits in the future. After testing at all the racing tracks, it is speculated that they will eventually return to the New Berlin circuit, where they will also challenge the time trial while testing.

Will the new generation set a new record

Honda once sent the previous generation Civic Type-R (FK8) at Suzuka Circuit. The result was 2:23.993 on July 9, 2020. It became the fastest front-wheel drive car at the time. It was written at the New Berlin Circuit. The record of 7 minutes 43.80 seconds was also the fastest mass-produced front-wheel drive vehicle at the time, but then Renault Mégane RS broke the record with 7 minutes 40 seconds 100, leading the Civic Type-R by about 3 seconds. Although Honda has proven its strength in the title of "fastest front-wheel drive", it is rumored that the Civic Type-R that will debut in 2022 will be the last pure fuel engine model. For Honda, it may be the last to regain its glory. Opportunity, if the Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911's 7 minutes and 30 seconds level are set as the goal, the performance of the new generation Civic Type-R will undoubtedly become the strongest in history.
