From the lab: Honda Odyssey Type R

Want a Civic Type R but also happen to be Catholic? Step right up.

From the lab: Honda Odyssey Type R
🔬
Our team has been hard at work in the lab. This creation is part of an ongoing series of imaginary rides made real. Make your suggestions in the comments for what we should cook up next.

It started with a thought: what if you really wanted a Civic Type R but also happened to be Catholic?

Honda's transcendent Civic Type R is the current hot hatch king. Unfortunately, it only comes with four seats which, if you plan on helping prop-up the birth rate crisis, is a problem.

Our solution: The eight-seat, Honda Odyssey Type R.

Future (family) proof.

Noah always dreamed of driving cars for a living. At least, he did before realising that the average motoring writer lives in a tent and survives on Mi Goreng. He became a psychologist instead.
