Japanese automakers have ascended the auto industry’s ladder to become some of the most popular and consumer friendly in the whole world.
Honda was the eighth largest auto-mobile manufacturer in the world behind General Motors, Volkswagen Group, Toyota, Hyundai Motor Group, Ford, Nissan, and PSA in 2011.
Hondas are very popular because they are reasonably priced, very durable, have excellent fuel efficiency and are very sport orientated. There is also a sub culture developed by the fans!
2007 Civic Type R Rally
265bhp / 0-60 mph in 5.0s
This car is the full monty – it ticks every options box JAS offers. So – deep breath – the standard car is stripped out and many of the body panels are seam welded to boost chassis strength. Next a Motor Sport Association-approved chrome-molybdenum steel rollcage is fitted that increase the car’s torsional rigidity by 70 percent. Then the engine gets dropped in. Fitted with a lightweight flywheel, heavily modified breathing and a much more advanced management system, the K20 engine kicks out a hefty 265bhp – that 132.5bhp per litre. It’s hooked up to a six-speed sequential transmission, driving the front wheels through a limited slip diff with adjustable preload.
