On April 5 this year, the new Renault Megane RS Trophy-R was let loose around the Green Hell and managed to lap the 14-mile circuit in just seven minutes and 40.1 seconds, beating the Civic Type The banzai new 2023 Honda Civic Type R has officially become the fastest front-drive production vehicle to lap the punishing Nurburgring road course in Germany.. Setting a blistering pace around the Green Hell, the new Type R – which is sold out until 2024 following its local launch earlier this month – set a lap time of 7:44.881, besting the Renault Megane RS Trophy-R’s 2019 lap record Honda hasn't done that here, but based on watching the video of the lap, it appears that it took roughly 5.2 seconds to cover the extra distance.

Fitted with a set of Michelin Pilot We already know about the new Civic Type R’s successes at the Nurburgring, setting a one second quicker time than the outgoing FK8 Civic Type R.
