Honda's decision to use the four-door Civic Type R as its next SuperGT contender caught many by surprise. The Japanese manufacturer explains why it chose this model to replace the existing NSX-GT.
In a radical departure from the current NSX-GT, which has served in one form or another as Honda’s GT500 base model since 2014, the Sakura marque has chosen to use the four-door Civic as the existing car’s successor,The move follows production of the road-going NSX ending last year with a limited run of Type S models, with the NSX-GT being updated to reflect this.
HRC President Koji Watanabe said that the decision to use the Civic in particular is a throwback to the days when the car was used by Honda in touring car racing in the late 1980s and 1990s. “If you look at the past, the Civic has raced in categories like JTCC and Group A. In other words, a mass-produced car like the Civic was at the heart of our racing activities. By using this Civic in SUPER GT, it would be great if we could promote it in this way again.
