These two videos are dedicated to all Honda fans around the world. It isn’t a secret that I am a crazy fan of Honda Type R, and when I saw (and “participated”) in this video I was so excited that wanted to immediately share it with you. If you have ever wanted to experience the feeling of riding alongside Honda World Touring Car stars Tiago Monteiro and Gabriele Tarquini, then I have good news: you can now do it.
How is this possible? Via a breakthrough filming technique, which captures the action in 360 degrees. Therefore you can ride alongside Gabriele in his Civic Type R, and Tiago in his Castrol Honda Civic Touring Car, as they power around the Italy’s Circuito Tazio Nuvolari. The only disadvantage is that this happens only virtually.

In this ‘video’, Tarquini was accompanied by Gordon Shedden, Matt Neal, and Jack Clarke. They make a quartet of gleaming Type Rs attempt to hold off a rampaging Monteiro and 2015 LCR Honda MotoGP star Jack Miller on his Honda RC213V.
Wonder who will claim bragging rights in this strange two- and four-wheel racing competition? You have to find out by watching the video below. I promise you that you will witness a hot-lap like no other, shot as part of an event that displayed the technical relationship between Honda and Castrol, as well as the race-bred Honda Civic Type R .
Now, immerse yourself in the 360 experience and drag around your screen, or turn your phone to follow the racing action!

2017 Honda Civic Type R Hatchback Prototype was revealed in the famous Civic CivicX.com forum. The pictures have been created by the digital artist Damian, who has been inspired after seeing the recently released spy shots of the car. What Damian has done is to peel off the camouflage wrapping of the next Type R. The result is spectacular and we couldn’t help but publish it straight away.As CivicX says, the spy photos were ‘deciphered’ and they depict Type R’s lines and styling elements as they are going to be in production form. In fact, the result is said to be extremely close to what the production car is going to look like.
And how about the output? Of course, everything has been kept in secret but we definitely expect to see more horsepower in comparison to Type R’s current one. Speaking of which, it comes out from a 4-cyllinder 2.0 litre VTEC TURBO engine, producing 310 hp (228 kW) at 6,500 rpm and torque of 400 Nm (303 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm.
