I don't think a CVT could handle that kind of power
With this offering, Honda will be allowing us to buy a factory fresh engine straight from the assembly line to stash into whatever build you may have. In the past, iterations of the Type R engines were offered only in Europe and Asia while fans in the states were left out in the cold. The I4 puts out 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque that should be mated to a six-speed transmission.

Reliability is priceless
With that bitter pill out of the way, the engine is still a great source of performance and fun for track fans. For those of you who race amateur and professionally this motor will give you not just a great basis to mod from but also will bring reliability which is priceless when you are punishing your car. The added benefit of Honda Racing Line being involved in the project is that owners will get something akin to factory support in order to cut out having to do your own research work.

Hopefully street use won't be too far off

Once, you're in you'll be given "the most direct access" to all of the parts in the performance division's inventory.
