The legendary Honda CRX proves that lightweight engineering still beats raw horsepower in this Nürburgring track experience. Behind the wheel of a beautifully preserved late-1980s CRX, this video dives into what makes classic Japanese performance cars so addictive to drive. Built on the EF Civic platform and weighing just 930 kg, the high-revving B16 engine delivers pure analogue driving pleasure, showcasing razor-sharp handling, precise steering feel, and the kind of mechanical connection modern performance cars rarely offer.

Filmed on one of the world’s most famous race tracks, the Nürburgring, the CRX is pushed to its limits while humorously compared to modern machines and even Formula 1 machinery driven by Lando Norris. Despite its 180 km/h speed limiter and modest power figures, the CRX shines as a true driver’s car, proving that balance, feedback, and engagement matter more than outright speed. This track review celebrates a golden era of Japanese engineering and the timeless joy of driving. For more content like this one follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
