More Power

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R (CTR) is powered by 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This marks a 9-horsepower and 15-pound-feet improvement over the previous-generation automobile, which had totals of 306 and 295, respectively. Maximum horsepower remains at 6500 rpm, while peak torque is now generated between 2600 and 4000 rpm. While the new CTR has the same turbocharged 2.0-liter 4 cylinder as previously, Honda made many changes that led to the power increase that will improve engine responsiveness. A freer-flowing air intake, a revamped turbo, and a new exhaust system with an active valve that now opens at higher rpm are among the improvements.

Racing-Focused Enhancements

Better engine cooling is one of the several track-focused enhancements provided to the R-rated Civic. Honda has achieved this by increasing the grille aperture and installing a larger radiator with a large-diameter fan. The brakes are also enhanced, with greater cooling and an upgraded brake booster that makes the pedal simpler to handle. The 2023 CTR also has a wider and heavier body than before, creating more downforce for the aerodynamic profile. With more downforce, a wider and more rigid frame, and a retuned dual-axis strut front and multilink rear suspension, the Type R is more track-ready than ever before.
