Precision Handling
The Honda Type R isn't just about straight-line speed, it's also a master of handling. The car features a new all-wheel suspension system that provides excellent control even on the most challenging roads. The Civic Type R also benefits from its lightweight design, motion adaptive electric power steering and bespoke 265/30/ZR19 tyres which contribute to its exceptional grip.
Record-Breaking Speed
The Civic Type R is no stranger to speed records. The current model holds the title of the fastest front-wheel-drive car around the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany. This accomplishment is thanks to its two-litre, four-cylinder VTEC TURBO engine that produces a staggering 329 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque. With this much power on tap, the Type R can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds.

The Type R also includes a suite of Honda SENSING driver-assistance features, such as collision mitigation braking and lane departure warning.
Surprisingly Spacious
While the Civic Type R is designed for performance, it also offers a surprising amount of space for a driver and passengers. The car's interior features comfortable seating for five, and the trunk offers a generous 1,212 litres of boot space.
