We are crazy? A Honda Civic Type R converted into a pick-up!

just a couple of days ago we publish the test of the Honda Civic Type R, a very effective sports compact when it comes to devouring curves and also very fast on the straight. We highlighted his aerodynamics, which conditioned the exterior design to generate the maximum possible grip. Look at the model in the images, how much down-force will he have lost?

Although you may think this is a joke, this Honda Civic Type R transformed into a pick-up It has been created by the engineering department of the Japanese brand in the United Kingdom. Don't worry, the brand has not launched - nor will it launch - a pick-up body for its most efficient car, but rather it is a small design exercise. In any case… Mola!

This Honda Civic Type R pick-up loses the rear seats of the sports compact and much of the roof, creating a bathtub like that of a van in which a cage has been installed. Note that, in addition to keeping the pilot lights and the famous triple exhaust outlet, this prototype continues to use the prominent spoiler that so characterizes the Type R.

Under the hood of the Honda Civic Type R Project P, as they have called this vehicle, is the same 2.0 VTEC Turbo engine with 320 hp. Although there are no official data, the Japanese firm estimates that it should take a while less than 6 seconds to go from 0 to 100 and that its top speed will exceed 265 km/h. Real heart attack figures for a supposed van.

As we said before, the Honda Civic Type R pick-up will not reach dealerships, of course. However, it seems that the Japanese firm wants to take it to some other circuit to see what times it is capable of doing. doWe will be facing the fastest front-wheel drive truck in the world? We will have a new record on the old Nürburgring track?
