The New Honda Civic Type-R’s Nürburgring Record

24th April 2017 27th April 2017

The new Honda Civic Type-R that we reported on a while back has recently broken a Nürburgring record.

Now crowned as the fastest front-wheel-drive car to lap the Nordschleife, the 2017 Honda Civic Type-R beats the previous fastest time set by the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S by over three seconds!

Clocking in at 7 minutes & 43.8 seconds, the Honda Civic Type-R demonstrates its track dominance around the 12.9-mile long German circuit. Check out the full lap in Honda’s official video below.

We can’t wait to see more of the new Civic Type-R! For more motorsport news & updates, be sure to stay tuned to our blog & follow us on Facebook.

 Absolutely superb company and i would recommend GSM for all your motorsport needs. Ben was great from the beginning and they made what turned out to be a difficult process (due to Bell) into one that was very simple. Great price, customer service and status/tracking.

 Excellent in store service. No pressure, I was allowed to take my time and try all the seats and once I'd narrowed it down help was given as to the fitment. Will use GSM for all future purchases.

 Found GSM on web first but it helps that they are 20 mins from my work, so being able to try out loads of seats was invaluable. Got good knowledgeable advice and they quickly understood the way my Motorsport discipline needs something different to a road or track car. Will recommend.
