A technical adviser to Honda said the Type R badge can live in the electric era if the cars can provide the same enjoyable driving experience.
Those EVs will have to be worthy of the Type R badge, providing the same enjoyable driving experience as traditional Type R models, Yamamoto said.
"The Type R is an attribute that maximizes the pleasure of driving and operation," Yamamoto said."If that pleasure can be transported with an electric car, then that car could be called a Type R."
