The Accord, R-Rated
Despite the name, Honda's not-so-European CL7 Accord Euro R was a chassis destined not for Europe, but for the country in which it was produced--Japan. Unlike its predecessor, the Accord Type R, which was offered exclusively in Europe, the Euro R--like all late-model JDM Accords--is based off of the U.S.-spec TSX chassis. Actually, it's the other way around; the U.S.-spec TSX is based off of the JDM Accord. Either way, the CL7 doesn't feature the 2.4L K-series that you might expect it to, but rather a de-stroked K20A that's more capable of the high-RPM shenanigans everyone's come to expect from the Type R name. The Euro R's i-VTEC engine measures in at 220 hp at 8000 rpm with a compression ratio of 11.5:1, has a redline of 8500 rpm, and of course features the obligatory Type R Recaro bucket seats and a limited-slip diff for the six-speed gearbox. An aluminum shift knob and pedals, a Momo steering wheel, and Euro R front and rear bumper covers, side sills, and a re-badged grille are also included in the Euro R package.
