Yes the Si engine will be the Base Integra’s engine but they decreased the power instead of increasing because of the Integra coming in. If the Integra wasn’t in the picture I’m sure the Si would have 220 HP. As of right now it seems like the Integra is hindering the Civic portfolio throughout...
Reveal will be posted on YouTuber channels that got the intel early. I’ll have a video up about it later during the day. I’ll post links to the article from Honda News on a separate thread.
Believe it or not but there was once a 3rd Gen Honda Integra that actually had AWD. I found this out recently when I was looking online. Cool little gem not to much talk about.
Lmao I mean based on how it’s going with “increased power” I just don’t see 210 HP. I feel like the Integra will have more then the Si almost certainly.
Everyone is expecting it as Acura has SH-AWD. The Civic chassis that the Integra will use actually can have AWD. If you look underneath the Civic Sedan and Civic Hatchback you can see that there is a large tunnel where the exhaust system resides so people are expecting that to be where the SHAWD...
I can’t remember if it does but none the less that’s what it so far giving me. I really was hoping for a rear diffuser on the Si to make it stand out from the sedan other then the spoiler and exhaust tips.
Well the engine that is in the Type R is built here in the US. Honda moving Hatchback production from the UK to the US also implies of them being built here. Also thinking about it would it really be smart to build the engines here in Ohio and then ship them to a different country? It would cost...
My bad it wasn’t honda that said it. Motor authority mentioned it in this article: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1128272_2023-honda-civic-type-r-spy-shots-video
NA and Europe Type R’s will be built in the US. Japan market Type R will be built at the same factory as the Hatchback they build for the Japanese market.
