The Honda Civic Type R isn't the world's quickest vehicle. Heck, it can only power two wheels and they aren't even the optimal ones for maximum acceleration.
Even so, the guys and gals at the big H have a serious performance machine on their hands. By now, you're almost certainly familiar with the new Honda Civic Type R. It's got a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-banger that produces 305 hp, all of which is routed to the front wheels. Of course engineers employed a long list of advanced technologies designed to minimize the disadvantages associated with this drivetrain layout.
