It's still a great achievement by Honda but it's not as fast or capable as that Nurburgring time would indicate.

There's already rumours of a Civic Type R with CF roof and no spoiler running around Nurburgring trying to get the title back after being dethroned by the Megane RS Trophy R which in itself is also not the exact same car you can buy at a dealer. The whole thing to me is embarrassing quite frankly. The cars should be full production like any off a dealer lot or it's just a pointless exercise of dick swinging that "we can teak our car to be faster than yours".
No problem, add 30 seconds to it, still a very fast car.
