An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. That's how Honda seems to approach the title defense of the fastest front-wheel drive car at the Nürburgring.
Our colleagues at Motor Trend had the opportunity to interview Hisayuki Yagi, project manager for the new Honda Civic Type R. Speaking of the team's ambition in developing the model, Hasayuki Yagi made it clear that from the beginning, “it has always been the objective of the technical team. , produce the fastest front-wheel drive car on the Nürburgring. And we did.”
Asked about the brand's plans, if someone manages to beat the time of 7 minutes and 50.63 seconds, the answer was peremptory “if someone beats us, we'll go back there to beat this record”. According to Hasakuyi there is still a lot of potential to explore in the new Honda Civic Type R, so the Japanese team does not rule out the possibility of launching an even more radical version of this hatchback. As the popular saying goes: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
