Honda Civic Type S Fireblade Replica for Italy

Audi R10 is a diesel as well, and look how it performs against its petrol-running counterparts!

So, if there's a diesel out there winning races, does that make all diesels capable?

From Diesel point of view, they have more than potential to win over Petrol. If people say or doubt about Diesel, it means they are quite of outdate. With technologies today, Diesel is better and better. It was bad for Diesel concept in the past to be loud and polute the air more than Petrol, because the additional technologies of engine-control, high-precision machining and engjine-balance were not good enough to make Diesel concept a better solution than a Petrol. Today, those technologies are here and they make Diesel a lot better than Petrol. High-efficiency, less-consumption and faster as well. This is a point where Audi has a courage to say firmly, and here as well to Honda. I think Honda do the right thing just like Audi.

Then what do you eat ?

with 340 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm.

Type R has 215 Nm at 7000 rpm... for daily use, the diesel is a lot better.

This is supposed to be the reflected image of the Fireblade on 4 wheels, that is why this diesel does not fit in with the image! 1. Most important: it's the entry level as far as power goes. 2. Low-end torque is good for "daily drivers", but if you want to build a Civic in Fireblade's image, use a high-revving petrol.

I think you don't make sense.

you've ripped your opinion stright from jeremy clarkson haven't you? tsk tsk. you should actually drive the car/s before you bag them out. they new (european) type-r may not have independant rear suspension but it does drive better than the old on on a real road. unless you're JC and you have an old WWII airfield to fling a car around in - you're not gonna have the luxury of doing powerslides across the width of a runway. and if you're desperate to have IRS then get the JDM type-r which is based on on the civic sedan which does have iendependant rear suspension.

It was designed in Japan but manufactured by one of Honda's facility in UK.
