Basically any automatic car that drags race the Type R, it's racing against the R's weakness. As soon as the R hits gear 3, it's totally a different story. The R is not for drag but it can somewhat drag. Half mile will be interesting for most races. It may even smoke the Type S 😎
Absolutely agree as an owner of an fk8. Why why why do journalists keep drag racing a car that was designed for the track not the drag strip. Ridiculous.
Transmission of the type r is shit,i had the previous model,with the same engine and transmission and the transmission went... gear grind, a lot of money,i miss the thing but shift them with care or pay the price. I had a gear grind on previous cars,it can happen. With this car,instant money bleeding.... and with this kind of shifting its a mather of when the gearbox goes out

I hate that they call that Volvo a T6 when it’s only a four-cylinder. I have a real T6 in-line, six twin, scroll turbo, and that actually has some decent power with modifications that T6 is junk.
Civic does not rev high enough. Only when vtec kicks in he is catching the volvo. At low rpm it doesnt. I hear that guy is shifting to early. Civics are made for racing at max rpm do not drive it like a diesel 😂
I have a 2012 s60 t6 r design with polestar,ic,turbo back, diverted valve,plumbing, and a k and n filter in the stock box and the tdi piggy backing the polestar tune until I decide I’m gonna pull the trigger on the Hilton stage 2+ tune. It’s 400 ballpark with prob 450 tq. For a heavy bitch it moves. I beat all the old ladies to the grocery store and winter with some good winter rubber is a blast.
This pretty much went as I expected. Volvo T6 with AWD beats it off the line and then Volvo's weight comes into play allowing the Type R to catch up/pass. Rolling start the Volvo has no shot. Due to all the weight, I think this would be more evenly matched if the V60 T6 had the Polestar upgrade. $1,295 from dealer addon that bumps the T6 from 316hp/295tq to 330hp/325tq.
Liked my 2.0T EXL, hated FWD in Chitown Winters. Amazing 10 speed trans wish i had in my stinger gt2. It was butter smooth, compared to my 8 speed in GT2
I think it is over rated for the price tag. A 2.0l turbo charged engine. With manual gearbox and front wheel drive with a stripped down crap interior to keep the weight light? That is sounding like the integra type R before you were born. The competition is offering way more tech with drift mode and advance AWD system for that price. There is nothing special about the type R. Just a new fancy body. Everything else is still in 90s.
The volvo weighs 800lbs more. There's a big difference in power to weight, Honda didn't really underrate them. My mk7 gti will wipe a type r with just a Jb4 tune...
@@rajeevmittoo4221 Yep not my cup of tea, I had the accord. Again was nice, but enjoy the Singer gt2 so much more with AWD. I got a great trade in price on my accord and jumped ship.

It's no secret that Civics, or FWD cars in general, can't launch for a drag race. Such a delay in torque with the turbo. But the roll is another story as seen.
It's not the delay in torque its physics. Weight is transferred to the back during launch. There is no power being sent to the back wheels so you get wheel hop in the front followed by tons of wheel spin. This is why a new corvette can launch like crazy. All the weight and power is being sent to the back were it needs to be for a launch
@@raulvasquez807 Well yes I understand that part, (Bachelor of Science in Physics), that is the case for FWD cars. But specifically for the 10th gen civic, which I own, it will bog down at the start unless the turbo is spooled up enough
He said he gets more power in manual. The Volvo will think faster than him. Let the tech do the work. You aren’t on a circuit. That’s when you are faster than the tech! The Volvo did pretty well against a car built to be faster. Love the video.
I have just bought a V60 T6 Recharge and it's a scary car. Amazing to drive and there's nothing better than pulling away at a set of traffic light from the usual BMW, Audi bully boys.
@@Shane-zx4ps The Type-R here missed shifts multiple times - as well Sam's video with the Type-R vs the 10-spd Accord was neck and neck with a Type-R that had performance tires.
I have the Volvo V40 T2 2.0L 2017 for now. It's a great car and alright for my usage, but for my next car, I might stick eith a Volvo S60 T8 with around 400hp
What fascinates me is that volvo is not even intended to be a performance car. Still does a lot better than most. I am curious about how the s60 T8 polestar does with other M’s, AMGs or RSs
Not sure about that. I have a 3.0 and yes it is super fun and quite fast. The added benefit of the 3.0 is an extra 20lb of torque. But the 2.0s are lighter than the 3.0s so i think it really averages out. If you campare the 0-60 between the 2, the 2.0 seems to be about .01-.02 faster. Ultimately, i love my 3.0.
I remember researching the volvos and they had a mild hybrid 48 volt system also which gives it an initial boost along with supercharger at low rpm and turbo at higher rpm
This V60 is not a hybrid. Pure gasoline engine with supercharger and turbocharger. Their T8 models are the hybrid in which the gas engine powers the front wheels and the electric motor powers the rear.
@@gengiz wrong, . In Australia we have never ever received a V60 T6, which is actually called a B6 now, with the 48v mild hybrid system. We only ever received a T5 and a T8. Now we only receive a B5 cross country V60.
I have a 2021 V60 T8 Polestar. Much different. MUCH faster. Would not lose to Civic-Type R in drag or roll and wouldn't be far behind it on track thanks to Polestar tuned suspension with Öhlins components. All of this while, at the same time, achieving over 35MPG on highway driving and 75eMPG around town. And with Fed and State colectively rebating $7500 back, makes it a steal!
Indeed - It took me 8 months to get it (ordered it Nov 2020 and received it June 2021). But well worth th wait as there is nothing on the road like it - Unique and capable
Manual shifting only gains you hp in a rev range that your torque has already started to drop off in . And that Civic owner needs to start utilising his E brake to load up the driveline on launch. Stiffer springs in the rear would help to .
Volvo is not a V6 in case some idiot misheard ))) Volvo has this 4 cylinder heritage that they make for many decades now, they are not into big engines but they have mastered an unbelievably reliable 4 cylinder engines before Honda was even on a market. The 1980s -90s Volvos are still driving today, surprisingly but these so called 4 bangers had enough engineering put into them that Volvo really never had to redesign the engine too much, they basically use the same motor with upgrades year after year the same way Soviet Lada did and modern Russian VAZ , the same engine, different heads, different electronics.
Have a V60 T6, now I have a V60 T8 PE - should have done it with the T8 would have killed it. I laugh light to light when driving it, and my fun car is a 1M :)
I was thinking about that too. Didn’t sound like the engine was wound out all the way but it looks like he was really concentrating on watching the revs so who knows…
I can't wait till I can buy a fully automated sports car. I can then sit at home on my couch, and my car can drive itself to a race track and come back home at the end of the day.
@@danieldunn3429 lmao.. I see I see, just grabbed my 21 type r and I money shifted from 3 to second 🥲😭 have you downshifted by accident before? And tranny and clutch ok??
Theoretically the Type R should be blowing out the Volvo because it's so much lighter and the HPs are comparable, but the auto trans give the Volvo a chance. Computer shifting is always more efficient than manual.
I have a T6 recharge hybrid with 18Kwh battery and AWD option. Not polestar upgraded. It is pretty quick and handles rather well for the additional weight of the battery. It doesn't feel like it needs any additional power although the chassis clearly could handle it without fuss.Turn in is actually better than my previous 3.0 litre V6 diesel A4 Avant. The clever hybrid AWD option proved itself last winter when it enabled the car to climb a snow packed single track lane in Grindelwald on summer tyres.
I'd rather have a manual. I have had a 6.4 hemi Chrysler 300 and a TT Fusion Sport and enjoy my old ass Accord v6 manual more. It's not faster, but it's more fun to drive.
@@jesseyanvari8873 nice, fast sedans are my favorite type of car. My last car was a 6 speed wrx with simple bolt ons but was very quick and fun. Even with my auto I still feel super connected to my new car, and the shifts feel really powerful, there is definitely some satisfaction in hearing perfect shifts every single time.
And the horsepower went up in the 2.0L 4 cylinder which also got the 8-speed transmission behind it. I’ve driven both. I like the torque in 3.0L but I like the lighter weight and 8-speed transmission in the 2.0L.

Your a lucky guy, it's a rare car and I love it. I have a 2020 V60 CC, my favorite is the EPIC Bowers&Wilkins audio. I may eventually get a Volvo EV.
Indeed - It took me 8 months to get it (ordered it Nov 2020 and received it June 2021). But well worth th wait as there is nothing on the road like it - Unique and capable
I have 2020 V60 Polestar. Really nice car. New ones (2024 models) have bigger ~19kwh battery + 7.4kw charging.
Manual shifting only gains you hp in a rev range that your torque has already started to drop off in .
And that Civic owner needs to start utilising his E brake to load up the driveline on launch.
Stiffer springs in the rear would help to .
Volvo is not a V6 in case some idiot misheard )))
Volvo has this 4 cylinder heritage that they make for many decades now, they are not into big engines but they have mastered an unbelievably reliable 4 cylinder engines before Honda was even on a market. The 1980s -90s Volvos are still driving today, surprisingly but these so called 4 bangers had enough engineering put into them that Volvo really never had to redesign the engine too much, they basically use the same motor with upgrades year after year the same way Soviet Lada did and modern Russian VAZ , the same engine, different heads, different electronics.
Have a V60 T6, now I have a V60 T8 PE - should have done it with the T8 would have killed it. I laugh light to light when driving it, and my fun car is a 1M :)
need a better driver for type r
Type r driver looked like he was shifting too early.
I was thinking about that too. Didn’t sound like the engine was wound out all the way but it looks like he was really concentrating on watching the revs so who knows…
Dude in the type r looks PISSED 🤣
That Volvo wagon looks nice
Automatic gearboxes nowadays shifts faster and more efficiently than manuals. That's what is missing in a Type R, a DCT and AWD!
I can't wait till I can buy a fully automated sports car. I can then sit at home on my couch, and my car can drive itself to a race track and come back home at the end of the day.
Did he money shift to second and miss 4th ?
I’m curious ?? Not sure how he missed it ?
4th gear synchro is nasty on my car!
@@danieldunn3429 so did he go from 3rd to second? lol
@@christianservin7635 no It just locked me out of 4th. I’m the driver haha
@@danieldunn3429 lmao.. I see I see, just grabbed my 21 type r and I money shifted from 3 to second 🥲😭 have you downshifted by accident before? And tranny and clutch ok??
@@danieldunn3429 also great driving man, are you the same driver as all the other white type R videos ??
What happened to including draggy times?
It think I saw a comment on another video about that, it's too much work to include that
@@Schreibtisch1 Just 2 trimmed videos, what's so hard LMAO.
@@zacharypowell1939 Idk, I was just repeating what I read
Theoretically the Type R should be blowing out the Volvo because it's so much lighter and the HPs are comparable, but the auto trans give the Volvo a chance. Computer shifting is always more efficient than manual.
That and pretty sure the AWD helps a ton!
That's not even the fast volvo get the top of line with polestar
Volvos are really cool, if you want to have some fun try the s80 v8. omp best sounding v8 out there.
Current T6/T8 sounds like ... hmm ... mostly no sound at all...
That Volvo looks so representable and yet screams raw porn, the civic is so sadly designed, awkward and 100 joints
Pleaaaase share wheel specs on the Volvo, what brand/size
I'm the owner. 20x9 Ace Driven Wheels
@@aznkidcom Thank you brother and beautiful car!
Not many know about volvos man sleepers for sure
I have a 2013 Volvo s 60 r polestar it's pretty quick volvos are way under rated.there not even putting an r design Volvo against Hondas r design.
Wish Honda made a Type R Wagon 🤔 I'd seriously look at it
Why no type r vs type s??? I thought u said u were going to post soon
4wd and automatic would be tough for the Honda to beat.
Makes me wonder what the T6 hybrid would do. It has a bit more weight, but also 350hp and 656nm.
I have a T6 recharge hybrid with 18Kwh battery and AWD option. Not polestar upgraded.
It is pretty quick and handles rather well for the additional weight of the battery. It doesn't feel like it needs any additional power although the chassis clearly could handle it without fuss.Turn in is actually better than my previous 3.0 litre V6 diesel A4 Avant.
The clever hybrid AWD option proved itself last winter when it enabled the car to climb a snow packed single track lane in Grindelwald on summer tyres.
Word to the wise, never, ever, ever, EVER, buy a used manual car in USA.
The Volvo wagon is actually 1100 pounds heavier than the Type R which is the equivalent of a 110 hp penalty.
not convinced the volvo was trying at the end, just give it a tune and bam, back in the game if thats the case...
VOLVO. ARE TRULY GREAT 👍 PERFORMANCE I HAVE. 1997 850. T5 R VERY FAST !! VOLVO. TOP. SPEED 152 MILES GREAT VIDEO 😀💪👍
We need and r3 vs the type r civic. Or at least a modded s3 .
From the dig, I realized dude in the type r can't shift
a stage 1 tune on that V60 and it will kill!!
Why wouldn't you use the polestar? The t6 isn't anything special on its own. Is it because the Honda would have no chance otherwise?
Hey Chumley in the Honda, your needed back at the pawn shop
And in bends, you take Honda every day?
This is why I settled for a dual clutch automatic lol, I’m not trying to sweat I’m trying to have fun. I love type r’s though
fun is in shifting for certain!
I'd rather have a manual. I have had a 6.4 hemi Chrysler 300 and a TT Fusion Sport and enjoy my old ass Accord v6 manual more. It's not faster, but it's more fun to drive.
@@jesseyanvari8873 nice, fast sedans are my favorite type of car. My last car was a 6 speed wrx with simple bolt ons but was very quick and fun. Even with my auto I still feel super connected to my new car, and the shifts feel really powerful, there is definitely some satisfaction in hearing perfect shifts every single time.
And on Road coarse the R would laugh at the Volvo
But not on drag strip it got beat
Its funny how the T6 went from 3.0 v6 to 2.0 i4
And the horsepower went up in the 2.0L 4 cylinder which also got the 8-speed transmission behind it. I’ve driven both. I like the torque in 3.0L but I like the lighter weight and 8-speed transmission in the 2.0L.
emissions... everybody doing the same before going to EVs
Since when is a t6 a 4cylinder ?
Ha. Blind spot monitoring sensor let's you know when they're catching up.
Dude in the Civic should practice more. That gear shifting hurts
PAH! Unusual suspect. Turbo and supercharged is Just Volvo's way of saying eat my swedish fish.
I have a volvo xc60 t6 with a polestar tune if you want to race.
The Civic Typer R driver epitomized what is to fail at driving. The car bogged down and the driver missed a gear.
If that Volvo had the polestar upgrade, that civic will be dust
