About the Civic Type R 2.0 K20C1 (329 PS / 315 hp US) FWD
315 hp through the front wheels. Honda looked at the laws of physics and said they'd handle it. The K20C1 turbo four, a six-speed manual with one of the best shift actions in the business, and a limited-slip differential that turns understeer into a suggestion rather than a certainty. Honda has used the FL5 to set front-wheel-drive lap records. It's faster than the FK8 it replaced, and it looks like it knows it. The wing is smaller. The confidence is not.
