Civic Type R
Tested in France
Featured Cars:
996 Turbo – The Porsche 996 Turbo represents a major milestone in Porsche’s evolution, being the first Turbo variant of the 996 generation with significant advancements in technology and performance.
Ferrari 360 Modena – A mid-engine sports car known for its sleek design and impressive handling, renowned for its naturally aspirated V8 engine.
NISMO GT-R – Nissan’s legendary GT-R tuned by its motorsport division NISMO, noted for its outstanding all-wheel-drive system and raw power.
Corvette Z51 – An American muscle icon with a focus on track performance, equipped with the Z51 performance package to enhance handling and braking.
R34 Skyline GT-R – The R34 is a legendary Japanese sports car, famous for its RB26DETT twin-turbocharged inline-six engine and sophisticated AWD system.
Lancer EVO VII – A rally-bred all-wheel-drive performance sedan known for its balance, turbocharged power, and agility on tight roads.
NSX Type S – Honda’s mid-engine sports car with a lightweight chassis and sharp handling, celebrated for its naturally aspirated V6 engine and precision.
Civic Type R – The Civic Type R is a front-wheel-drive powerhouse with a high-revving turbocharged four-cylinder engine, often praised for its sharp dynamics and excellent value.
Highlights:
Porsche Turbo Massive Test! – This segment delivers an in-depth examination of the Porsche 996 Turbo’s capabilities, covering acceleration performance, braking efficiency, cornering limits, and everyday drivability. The test also compares the 996 Turbo to its peers to identify its true standing in the high-performance sports car world.
Ultimate Battle at Sugo and more! – The famous Sportsland Sugo circuit serves as the battleground where these iconic cars face off in timed laps, drag races, and handling challenges. The episode also features additional dynamic tests including uphill sprints, endurance runs, and driver impressions that offer a comprehensive evaluation of each vehicle’s strengths and weaknesses.
Additional Context:
The Porsche 996 Turbo was revolutionary for incorporating a water-cooled engine, departing from Porsche’s traditional air-cooled heritage. This change allowed for greater power output and better thermal management, resulting in improved reliability and performance under demanding conditions.
The competitive field in this BEST MOTORING episode represents some of the most significant sports cars from the late 1990s to early 2000s, showcasing a variety of engineering philosophies and driving experiences—from the raw power of American muscle to the precision and technology of Japanese performance vehicles, and the refined yet blisteringly fast European sports cars.
The Civic Type R’s inclusion emphasizes the diversity of performance perspectives, demonstrating how a front-wheel-drive hatchback can compete on handling and driver engagement against high-powered all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive machines.
Overall, this episode is a celebration of tuning, engineering prowess, and driving culture, capturing the excitement and passion of high-performance motoring.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
