Honda Civic Type R (FK8)

The Honda Civic Type R (FK8) reaches 60 mph in 5.13 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.64 s, tripping the lights at 107.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.25 s and the eighth mile in 8.97 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.93 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 (FK8)

The 2017 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,380 kg with 315 bhp, which works out at 228 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.25 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,462nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 8th quickest of the 41 Hondas here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 107.4 mph, the 1,158th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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.

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 (FK8) 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
