The 2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) is one of our favourite hot hatches of the moment, thanks to a super focused chassis, a rev-hungry turbocharged motor and one of the best gearshifts in the business. However, both the Audi S3 and Hyundai i30 N have the potential to cause an upset. The Audi brings brutal straight-line punch and imperious four-wheel drive traction to the table, while the i30 N comes equipped with a new, quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox, which should shave a few tenths from its lap time. Does either have the talent to overthrow the Civic Type R?
