Honda has released a new 360-degree video which pits the RC213V
MotoGP Motorcycle against the Civic Type R and a Castrol Honda Touring
car.
Filmed at the Circuito Tazio Nuvolari in Italy, the clip features a
total of six vehicles and enables viewers to pan around to get an even
greater sense of the action. The video stars Tiago Monteiro who drives
the Touring Car and Gabriele Tarquini who is behind the wheel of his
Civic Type R. There are also three other Civic Type Rs and they are
driven by British Touring Car drivers Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal as
well as BTCC development driver Jack Clarke.
The video was shot an exclusive event put on by Honda and Castrol and
Tarquini remarked “The Type R is fantastic; it’s great on the track,
and everybody is incredibility impressed by both the handling and
braking performance."
Unveiled earlier this year, the Honda Civic Type R is a
high-performance hatchback that is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine that develops 305 bhp (310 PS / 228 kW) and 295
lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. The engine is connected to a six-speed manual
transmission which enables the model to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100
km/h) in 5.7 seconds before hitting a top speed of 270 km/h (167 mph).
