Honda Civic FD2 STW || 285Hp/9.000Rpm K20 Monster - St. Ursanne 2018

This is Jonas Magnin´s beautiful Monster, a quite rare Honda Civic FD2 originally built for European Touring Car Racing. Powered by a dry-sumped Naturally Aspirated K20 Engine unit capable of 285Hp/9.000Rpm and weighing 1010Kg, this machine prepared by Rikli Motorsport stands as one of the most efficient FWD cars in European Hillclimb Racing.
Here it can be seen both inside and outside,at the mythic St. Ursanne-Les Rangiers Hillclimb where it posted tremendously competitive times. Special Thanks to MaxiPixelRallye for the footage provided without which this video would be impossible to make. Subscribe to their Channel Right here:

[@jonasmagnin]

Thanks for the video!

[@hoonkz89]

Hi Jonas, awesome setup. would like to ask you about the front bumper; it looks like INGS yet the edges/corners are filled out and it doesnt have that gaudy lip. Is it a custom piece?

[@jonasmagnin]

Thanks :-) Yes, it's a custom carbon bumper that has been developed in a wind tunnel.

[@hoonkz89]

i am very keen on purchasing one. i will contact Rikli to see if it's possible... thank you

@@jonasmagnin incroyable auto ! Bravo

[@priztucker]

Im most impressed with how stable the car is. suspension setup is the hero here

[@priztucker]

that has nothing to do with stability in the corners bro (in this case)

[@JasonMcMullen]

I'm guessing they are KW coils, based on the huge sticker on the back haha

[@priztucker]

Yea no body roll. Its well planted. Its like no lateral G's acting on it

[@brunomanco7529]

Less body roll is achieved with thicker sway-bars, not just harder springs and shocks

[@nigelsmith7366]

@@priztucker sway bars are considered part of suspension set

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

High RPM, light and nimble. That's how you make a fun car.

[@ZDEVIL74]

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

@@ZDEVIL74 Not necessarily, FWD is also cool. You get less oversteer without all the weight of AWD.

[@ricebox1178]

Yes, and if you think hard about it, FWD cars with more weight on the rear (like this FD) are much more stable

[@ZDEVIL74]

I talked about to make a perfect fun car.😉 Fr car are funnier to drive than ff car. That's a fact.

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

@@ZDEVIL74 Nah, not really, it depends. It's not a "fAcT" lol, this car is much more fun to drive than something like the old Charger, which is FR and a straight line only boat.

[@2K8Si]

His steering inputs are intentionally slow (in rotation) BUT with dialed in accuracy, never turning in too much and having to constantly correct (Like I have seen so many times in other racing videos). No abrupt maneuvers ever. This guy is a proper demonstration of what confidence and experience put together, looks like. AWESOME... Oh, and I LOVE the car.

[@miranomisuke]

The mighty Civic Type R born to do its purpose.

[@rogerj412]

I don't think it's a Type R. Usually would have said Type R in the title, right?

[@Kenneth1350]

Roger J or FD2R

[@user-vs7sb9wg2r]

Roger J Its so custom, that it doesn't matter what it was stock. But the Type R has a K20 too, so it most likely was a type R.

[@chrisCKDE]

well I need to correct you, Civic Type R (FD2/FN2, 2007-2010) the fd2 (JDM) was the counterpart to the fn2 (EDM)

[@tomsaltezza]

John Nitrous it's probably a fully built up race car based on a FD. I too thought it was a coupe at first but later saw the rear door handles from the close ups. The JDM FD2 Type R's only come in the 4 door sedan. This is a fully built race engine and maybe does not even have VTEC cams; definitely no VTC. But it runs really sweet!

[@bublebubman08]

The performance of the suspension and the tires is really amazing!

[@craiggreen4388]

That engine sounds so happy at high revs.

[@garethwillis]

How those tyres are putting the power down and taking those corners is just phenomenal. Total tyre contact patch is less than four pieces of A4 paper and look at the results..... Incredible.

[@pranavghantasala6808]

285 hp doesn’t sound like much but hot DAMN that thing is RAPID

[@destructoidx99]

lightness my boye

[@upnorthviking823]

Got less then 240 in mine and you need 400whp to stand a chance

[@mal3762]

Also, power to weight and the sequential setup made it even better

[@straight_intro]

It weighs like 900 kg, so it’s pretty quick

[@Hetzerg]

You dont need 400hp to race on a small road like this. 285hp is fast enough

[@mickl9567]

I always believed in hp is just numbers , and here's a concrete proof to it. So much power and accelerations in each gear and yet, such stability and nimbleness at such speed

How the fuck does so much power get squeezed out of a naturally aspirated four banger? Honda makes some seriously stout engines, it's gnarly. My WRX stock made 265 CRANK hp, not to the wheels. She's now dialed in at 320 but holy fucking shit I have to respect Hondas
