Honda Civic Type R (FK8) vs BMW M240i G42

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M240i G42 is the quicker car, covering it in 12.42 s at 111.8 mph against the Honda Civic Type R (FK8)’s 13.64 s — a margin of 1.22 s. To 60 mph the BMW M240i G42 takes 3.99 s and the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) 5.13 s.

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

Questions

Is the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) or the BMW M240i G42 faster?
The BMW M240i G42. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.42 s to the Honda Civic Type R (FK8)'s 13.64 s, a margin of 1.22 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.99 s against 5.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8) reaches 60 mph in 5.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.64 s at 107.4 mph.
What is the BMW M240i G42 0-60 time?
The BMW M240i G42 reaches 60 mph in 3.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.42 s at 111.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8) trips the lights at 107.4 mph and the BMW M240i G42 at 111.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) and 9 of 10 for the BMW M240i G42. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
