The new Civic Type R is a car only Honda could make. It reflects our unique thinking, our drive for constant reinvention, re-evaluation and relentless pursuit of better. Our desire to create the perfect sports machine for the road and the track is imprinted into its DNA and drawn into every curve of its body. It’s a car that has been built for the sheer thrill of driving, a car built with soul, a car that speaks to you the way few others can.
Our reputation has been built on our engineering excellence and technical innovation. We love to challenge, to question, always pushing for better, never standing still. The new Civic Type R is the embodiment of everything we have learnt and our ambitions for the future. It has been designed from the ground up, each component created and tested with the purpose of giving you the most exhilarating drive.
The purposeful exterior of the Type R is matched only by its dramatic cockpit, a place designed to make your heart beat faster, even before you press the engine start button. Its motorsport inspired interior has everything you need just where you need it, with clear, easy to read gauges, alloy gear shift knob and a Type R plaque showing your car’s individual serial number.
DRIVING DYNAMICS
The front MacPherson strut suspension is set up to reduce torque steer and optimise handling, whilst the new rear independent multi-link suspension system enhances stability under braking and minimises the total roll movement of the car. The suspension system is augmented by an Adaptive Damper System and limited-slip differential which maximise control and stability for a more engaging drive.
