While SUVs dominate global sales, Honda continues to uphold its legacy as a builder of accessible, enthusiast-driven cars. Models like the Honda Civic Si, Civic Type R, and their Acura counterparts, the Integra and Integra Type S, exemplify this commitment with their perfect blend of street prowess and track-ready performance. But Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) President Koji Watanabe has suggested the possibility of taking things even further—a tier above the already impressive Type R and Type S trims.
Higher-Performance Models in the Works?
In an interview, Watanabe hinted that Honda is considering the development of ultra-high-performance models using genuine HRC racing technologies. “Today I cannot tell the exact plan yet, but yes, we should create such kind of performance model together with HRC racing technologies,” said Watanabe. He also confirmed that Honda’s American division (HRC US) has already begun work on developing performance parts.
