Underwhelmed by the new CTR's mature looks? It's a completely different animal in the metal...
I’m in a baking pit garage at a grassroots Italian racetrack just outside of Milan to see a car I’m not allowed to drive. I don’t even know how much power it makes, nor will anyone go into any detail about what's underneath. But PH wasn't about to turn down the chance to get a firsthand peek at the car in question, the. After all, very few cars in 2022 are as hotly anticipated as the pretender to the front-drive hot hatch crown.
For starters, it’s noticeably wider than the standard Civic. Again, this is difficult to spot without a reference point, but there’s a noticeable step between the base of the headlights and the edge of the bodywork that emphasises the extra width. Vents behind the front wheels also do a great job of beefing up those front arches and, unlike those on the FK8, they’re functional, too. And that extends to the rest of the car.
At the back the diffuser is vast with the now-signature trio of exhausts in the middle, only the FL5 has a larger centre exit with two smaller outlets either side . Best of all, there’s a new multi-element rear wing that replaces the old car’s plasticky one-piece spoiler. It does look more purposeful and we’re still waiting on a downforce number, although it’s a fixed wing with no way to change the angle of attack.
