A new game update for Forza Motorsport 7 is now available to players worldwide. Announced on the official site, Turn 10 is making May all about Honda, by first treating players to a new free car.
The car in question is the new 2018 Civic Type R. This super hatch is equal parts ludicrous and fast, making it a serious contender in the Modern Hot Hatch category. We’ve gone into further detail on the Type R below.
The Civic is available now for free to all players. Those who own the FM7 Car Pass will have the car automatically downloaded to the in-game garage. Players who don’t own the car pass will have to purchase the car in-game manually, but will be available for no extra charge.
We actually had a hint the car was coming months ago. Back in February Turn 10 pit Graham Rahal against Peter “SLAPTrain” Jeakins in a virtual versus real showdown with the CTR. Now to see if we can beat those lap times…
2018 Honda Civic Type R
The latest FK8 generation Civic Type R is one of the hottest hatchbacks on the market. The ludicrous styling aids in aerodynamics, helping to keep the car planted to the road.
Its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine develops 316hp exclusively to the front wheels. Intense chassis development means that the Type R is the fastest front-wheel-drive production car to ever lap the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife.
With this much power and pace, the new Civic Type R should prove a serious challenge to the rest of the hot hatch establishment.
