The 2023 Honda Civic Type R Will Finally Deliver 315 HP in North America

Earlier this week, an image showing a screenshot of a Japanese brochure of the Type R showed that the new model will offer 326 hp. Predictably, folks went wild at the leak of this info, as at the model's unveiling in late July, Honda had not confirmed this important information about the model.

In fact, as Honda often does, it goes with an incomplete presentation and comes back with more information. It's a good thing in a marketing context, but it's also annoying because it can be confusing.

Fortunately, the company came back quickly this week to provide more information about its model, including the official output for the versions that will be offered in North America: it will be 315 hp and 310 ft-lb of torque, for gains of 9 horses and 15 ft-lb of torque.

The company also revealed more images, including of the interior.
