    Yes we are back on the Nurburgring lap time topic but this time it has nothing to do with the incredible Lamborghini Huracan Performante but rather the new FWD lap record holder, the new Honda Civic Type R.

    The new Civic Type R has clocked a lap time of 7min 43.8sec which means it is a healthy 3.4 seconds faster than the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S. Not only has it taken the title as fastest production front-wheel drive car around the ‘Ring but it has beaten the previous Type R’s time by nearly 7 seconds.

    The lead chassis engineer for the new Civic Type R, Ryuichi Kijima, said: “The cornering speed achieved in the new Type R is higher because the car features a wider track and tyres, a longer wheelbase, new multi-link suspension in the rear and optimised aerodynamics that improves stability.“

    *The car’s only modification was a ‘floating’ roll cage that Honda said offered no improvements to rigidity. To compensate for the cage’s weight, the infotainment system and rear seats were removed.

    • It is big, luxurious, comfortable and radically fast. It will devour long stretches of tarmac and not exhaust you but most importantly, the Continental GT Speed is a Bentley that is very much ready and willing to play when the mood hits you. It is quite possibly the ultimate modern GT.

    • We have done countless launch control starts in countless cars but this has to be one of the biggest surprises so far. It's not the fastest we have tested but the way it gets 2.2 tons off the line is something to experience. Get the British brute on some grippy tarmac and you will be blown away!

0 to 100 km/h is claimed to be 3.6s and that claim is accurate!
