The Civic Type R is running on a 2-liter VTEC Turbo engine that produces 310 PS. This video gives you a nice look and listen to the Civic Type R accelerating up to 200 km/h.
The Civic Type R has made it around the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 50.63 seconds, which means that it has set a record, although this was with the help of some racing parts. This includes "lowered suspension, flared wheel arches, a front diffuser and a rear wing the size of Texas."
