Here's A Drag Race Featuring All Generations Of Civic Type R
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?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

No FD2?

The fd2 wasn’t sold in the uk
The most VTEC in one video.
There’s only 3 VTEC cars here. The FK2 (my favorite) and the FK8 are turbocharged.
Now, do ALL of it.

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

Never sold in the UK
Bro, do you even read?
EP3 for me please
Me too.
v-tec yo
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.
fk8 one is gonna win thats simply common car guy sense
“ek8 one is gonna win thats simply common car guy sense”
Yeah , except there is no such thing as an ‘ek8’ civic . Maybe try using some of that ‘common car guy sense’
