The engineers reaction at the end is so heartwarming you can tell they really put some work into this

Thank you Honda. I sadly had to part with my '18 FK8 last month, as I moved continents and couldn't bring it. It will forever have a piece of my heart. The long drives on Angeles Crest, Mulholland, Topanga, flying down Hwy 5 in the middle of the night...
This brought tears to my eyes. I feel privileged to have experienced it.

4 years and counting. I love my Type R! Best car I've ever driven

Very proud of this team of fine people and the Japanese people in general.  If I were to choose a car to drive forever it will definitely be a JAPANESE.  As much as I admire many EUROPEAN and some AMERICAN cars, my outmost respect goes to the Japanese for putting so much LOVE into their cars.  No other cars will take you as far (literally), they're truly setting the STANDARD.

Absolutely stunning. For those of you out there who want to compare this lap time, its faster than the Pagani Zonda and Audi R8 V10. Amazing work, Honda. I'll keep driving around in my Si dreaming about this.

I am really proud to be a Honda fan since i was 13 years old... now i am 25, i drive a Honda Accord CL9 Vtec, for me it's not just a car, it's a family member, a way of life, motivation to wake up in the morning... it makes me happy and i always take care of it as much as i can, i will always Love my babe and be an active member to the Honda community.

A Fact:
The Love that a Real Honda fan shows to his car, it can Not be achieved from a fan of another brand.

I have been driving a 04 honda Fit for almost 3 years, it was my first car and it accompanied me walked though some of the most difficult periods of my life when I was studying and working. When I saw the Type R driving in the field, the scene reminded me myself and my fantanstic, reliable and faithful Fit. And every time I saw it, I could feel a strong passion in my chest and my eyes became wet. It exactly is the passion made me here, and I see myself through the car.

I recently purchased a 2018 FK8 type R in championship white, identical to this car. I'm absolutely in love with it and can confidently say I'm keeping it FOREVER!

[AddisRS]

I'm a proud CTR owner. I shed a tear everytime I drive the car.

I love this video. Honda has produced cars in the past with this kind of passion. I am hoping to experience this car soon and I am hoping that this car will be as engaging to drive as its predecessors. I hope that it makes me want to just drive.

[StandingUpForBetter]

Mission accomplished! That was EPIC and this car is already a LEGEND! Well done Honda. Well done.

Ever since I passed my driving test, Honda has always been my big wish. After 22 years I finally bought it. As a young man I wanted a sports version, but now I have a family, so I bought a second-hand Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 and I am very satisfied, maybe one day I will fulfill my bachelor's wish and buy a masterpiece "Godzilla" TYPE R. Greetings from Croatia. 🙂

Proud owner of the FN2R and proud to witness it's successor the FK8 to be worthy of the Type R badge! Well Done Honda!
