Honda is gearing up to launch the all-new, turbocharged Civic Type-R, but they've actually made a boosted Civic before. And it was badged as a Triumph. The last Triumph ever, in fact.
Banovsky's Car of the Day tells the story of the Triumph Acclaim Turbo, a badge engineering job between Honda and British Leyland that saw a fancy Civic (known as the Ballade) fitted with a turbocharged and built in a British Leyland factory. It was apparently one of the most reliable British Leyland cars ever built, but only three remain today. And it was also the last car to ever wear the Triumph badge.
