Honda Civic Type-R EP3

The Honda Civic Type-R EP3 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s (100 km/h in 6.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.71 s, tripping the lights at 95.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s and the eighth mile in 9.58 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Civic Type-R EP3

The 2001 Honda Civic Type-R EP3 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,246 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 158 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.35 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,665th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 24th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 95.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Type-R EP3 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,665th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 quarter mile time?
14.71 s at 95.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 have?
197 bhp and 1,246 kg, which is 158 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda Civic Type-R EP3?
Closest here on pace: Ford Focus ST (2005) (6.23 s), Lexus SC430 (6.41 s), SEAT Leon Cupra R (2003) (6.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Honda Civic Type-R EP3 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
