FL5: A Future Classic?

As of 2023, Honda released the most powerful Civic Type R to date in its sixth generation dubbed the FL5. Although more conservative in exterior design to its predecessor, the FL5 carries the same 2.0-liter engine with an improved 325 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Undoubtedly, the most powerful production model yet. Additionally, this model year continues the revival of the hatchback along with the 6-speed manual transmission. Honda’s return to the roots of the first-generation Civic Type R will undoubtedly make the FL5 a future JDM classic.
