High Redline is very important to Honda buyers and high Redline is Honda!
Honda Leaders shouldn't forget that even with boosted engines!!!
Today's CTR should of been minimum 7500 rpm redline.

The EU Carbon laws is a joke and if they don't back off,they will tax themselves to non existence. Just like it was stupid to give tax breaks for diesel engines in automobiles.
Just look at VW who betrayed Europe by chasing profits with diesel and in China. Now they are being betrayed by their own government with carbon laws( BEV movement).
It is being pushed to fast

The Hawk's idea...

The next Civic Type-R goes upmarket with eAWD and DCT option.( Keeping MT as base).
Common man Ferrari ๐Ÿ˜‰

City Hatch Type - R replacing today's CTR.
FWD

1.5 L DOHC V3
8000 rpm redline
250 bhp at 7500 rpm( total power 310-330)
Two 90 kw Axial Flux Electric Motors between the ICE and Trans ( generators/ drive motor)
MT

Electric Turbofan Compressor
( Axial Fan with leading Flow vanes then a opposite turning Mix Flow Compressor)
Moving alot Air without much air flow restrictions so it will act more like a NA engine)
Another bonus is no lag

Honda makes a...
City Type-R
Civic Type-R
Prelude Type-R

Global
ZR-V Type-S

There is no need for a S2000.

Honda just needs to build a new Limited Halo Sports Car that wasn't neutered like the last NSX. Keep it cheaper but better than the Ferrari in it's class and the people will buy it. And Very important is that the Honda buyer doesn't want a BEV sports car!!! They want a Very Good Honda ICE HEV that isn't a beached whale( too heavy)!!!
The people didn't buy the last NSX because even with a boosted 3.5L V6 and three electric motors,it didn't reach the magical HP number of 600 and it was way too heavy!!!

The NSX Type - S should of been the car delivered from day one!!!

What the North American Market buyer wants right now???
Because cost of living is very high now!!!

A cheap Petrol ICE Automobile!!!

Maybe Honda would be smart and import the WR-V and the City Sedan and Hatch( replace the Fit) to the North American Market๐Ÿ˜‰.
NA 1.5L I4 base
NA 1.5L I4 HEV ( exchange battery ๐Ÿ”‹)
Boosted 1.5 L V3 in RS and Type-R( HEV)

Using the Exchange battery in the City could be a game changer in the market???!!!
It will solve the re- sale problem of HEV and BEV caused by the cost of replacing a Battery Pack.
Game Changer

The people want good cheap cars just like when Honda brought the Civic CVCC to the market.
And Honda performance models like in the 90s.


Europe probably would like it too and with the EU and Brazil about to sign a trade deal. Import it from Brazil to Europe and the USA.

That means it would be very smart to expand production in Brazil ( I said that a year ago!)
It is probably smart for Honda to expand production in Brazil 2 times as today for local market and export by 2026.
Some people say I see the future like Paul in Dune???
I bet Brazilians would love a Honda Pilot, Passport and Ridgeline๐Ÿ˜‰

The Petrol ban in Europe is most likely going to be delayed so it would be smart for Honda to expand production in Brazil of the City and WR-V for local market and to export to Europe and USA.
Another 100,000 production capacity by 2026 and be prepared to expand ever more.

1.5L DOHC V3 boosted would be a perfect engine for RS, Type-S and Type - R versions.
Flex-Fuel

Exchange batteries too. ( Think ahead like a thief and put in simple but effective anti- theft solution from day one)

Honda new solid State battery goes into production in 2025 but can't be made large enough for BEV.

Probably a good product for it is for Electric Drones that the Japanese Defense Forces will need like yesterday.๐Ÿ˜‰

Especially with China putting export ban on things needed to make batteries for Electric Drones ๐Ÿ˜•.
