"Ready to have your preconceptions about front-wheel-drive blown right out of your skull?
Honda just released video of a 2015 Civic Type R prototype lapping the Nurburgring in 7:50.63.
That's just 10 seconds off the pace of the Porsche Cayman GT4, and only 30 seconds behind the world-beating 911 GT3 that won our Performance Car of the Year competition."
It also soundly trounces the old front-wheel-drive record, a 7:54.36 set by the Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy-R".
