Why does the Civic Type R win?
The decisive inputs are the complete system, not peak power alone. The model applies drivetrain efficiency, launch traction, transmission shift interruption, vehicle mass, rolling resistance and speed-dependent aerodynamic drag at 120 updates per second. In this matchup, the Honda Civic Type R turns its 216 hp-per-tonne input into the earlier 1 km finish.
Every value above is generated under the same dry, level, equal-condition simulation. It is useful for relative comparison, not a substitute for an instrumented test of a specific car, tyre, driver, surface or weather condition.
