Honda Begins Testing the Civic Type R-GT

Honda Racing has unveiled a new racing version of the Civic Type R, aptly named the Civic Type R-GT. This car is set to participate in Japan's Super GT Series top GT500 class starting with the 2024 season. The race-prepped CTR has begun testing at the Okayama International Circuit in Japan, marking a new era for Honda's racing endeavors.

The Civic Type R-GT is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. According to Super GT rules, the output is expected to be somewhere in the range of 550 to 650 horsepower. This is nearly double the horsepower of the standard Civic Type R, promising exceptional performance on the track.

The Civic Type R-GT is a car that means business. The visual differences compared to the standard Civic Type R are striking, even from a single photo. The aggressive aerodynamics of the car speak to Honda's intent to win.

The Civic Type R-GT has been developed with a particular focus on aerodynamics, engine, and other technologies, as well as the expertise that Honda Racing Corporation has accumulated by taking on challenges in a number of races in Japan and elsewhere.
