Honda came, saw and conquered … again.

The automaker has reclaimed the lap record for front-wheel-drive cars at Germany's famed Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack.

The twisty, nearly 13-mile circuit in the Eifel mountains is used as a benchmark for testing the overall performance of sports cars.

Honda set a record of 7:43.8 with the Civic Type R in 2017, but the time was beaten in 2019 by a Renault Megane R.S. Trophy R that completed the lap in 7:40.1.

HONDA TURNED THE CR-V INTO A SUPERCAPACITOR-POWERED ‘BEAST’

The preferred method for measuring laps has since been changed to add roughly 760 feet to the distance. Under those criteria, the Renault's time was 7:45.399, according to Road & Track.

The 2023 Civic Type R has since been replaced with an all-new model, however, which is the most powerful Honda ever sold in the United States. The car is assembled in Japan with a 315-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is built in at Honda's Anna Engine Plant in Sidney, Ohio.

The $44,390 four-door hatchback features a wider body than the standard Civic's, an updated suspension, summer performance tires and is only available with a six-speed manual transmission.
