Civic Type R
Performance
The Pinnacle of Honda Factory Performance
Driven by our relentless determination to keep improving, we not only created the most powerful Civic ever, but also the most agile. And with its-mode drive system-including +R, Individual, Sport and comfort modes-you can instantly tune it for the track or the street.
Turbocharged Engine
With a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter VTEC engine that delivers 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the all-new Civic Type R is not only more responsive than the previous generation, but also boasts a higher power-weight ratio.
6-Speed Manual Transmission
For a better balance while braking into corners, the 6-speed manual transmission features rev-match control, which keeps engine and vehicle speeds in sync during downshifting. A new Civic Type R-exclusive shift link mechanism has shorter throws and makes shifting even smoother.
Triple-Outlet Exhaust
Whether you’re ripping down a straightaway on the track or cruising through the city, the center-mounted triple-outlet exhaust’s Active Exhaust Valve strike the perfect chord. Each mode of the 4-mode drive system features its own specially turned exhaust note.
Dual-Axis Front Suspension
Accelerate through corners with maximum confidence, thanks to the unique dual-axis McPherson strut front suspension that helps minimize torque steer and deliver precise steering response.
Multi-Link Rear Suspension
With high-rigidity componets, the rear suspension offers stability and support for a linear handling response.
Active Damper System
As you steer through corners, the adaptive damper system helps control roll and pitch to give you a uniform, direct steering feel. With the 4-mode drive system, you can instantly tune the dampers for performance or comfort.
Brembo Front Brake Calipers
Renowned for their braking performance and lightweight construction, four-piston Brembo calipers compliment the two-piece front rotors for optimal stopping power.
Limited-Slip Differential
A helical limited-slip differential helps minimize front-wheel slippage for more precise steering when accelerating and cornering.
Electric Power Steering
The dual-pinion, variable-ratio electric power steering offers confidence at high speeds and a precise feel at low speeds. And with the 4-mode drive system, you can instantly tune the steering to your drive, from +R mode at the track to Comfort mode on the highway.
Sport Tires
Measuring wider than the previous-generation Civic Type R tires- the sport tires provide improved grip while cornering.
Lightweight Componets
Every gram counts on the track, which is why virtually every millimeter of the Civic Type R features lightweight componets, from the flywheel and crankshaft to the resin-made hatch, aluminum hood and sport seats.
Exterior & Interior
Never Restrained
Civic performance has never looked better. The all-new Civic Type R features sleek, aerodynamic styling and a performance-focused cockpit, with enhanced visibility and a track-ready new Driver Information Interface.
Engine and Brake Cooling
A 48% larger grille opening that he previous Civic Type R and a wide, low hood vent help maximize engine cooling while minimizing airflow resistance. Optimized brake ducts help keep front brakes cooler throughout multiple laps of circuit driving.
Stability
Side underbody spoilers, front fender outlets, and new integrated rear fenders help guide airflow and maintain consistent air pressure around the wheels, for optimal stabilty in and out of turns.
Downforce
New rear spoiler and diffuser designs, including die-csast aluminum wing stays, help increase downforce and control air resistance.
19-Inch Matte-Black Wheels
Lightweight and highly rigid, the aluminum alloy wheels feature a reverse rim design to enhance stability at high speeds.
Grille
In addition to the Type R symbol and red H-badge that signify the connection to our performance heritage, the new grill features gloss-black accents that coordinate with the rear spoiler and diffuser to carve out a unique identity.
Hatch
The all-resin hatch is 20 percent lighter than a conventional steel hatch, and provides a wide opening for loading your gear into the cargo area.
Visibility
The all-new Civic Type R was built to create wide sightlines and minimize blind spots. The hood, side mirrors, fenders and rear spoiler are all designed to promote visibility and awareness of your vehicle’s position on the track or the road.
Driver Information Interface
With the 4-mode drive system, you can customize the all-digital display to see critical data in your line of sight. In +R mode, an LED shift light above the interface helps you gauge shift points without taking your eyes off the track.
Sport Seats
Heavily bolstered to help keep you in place during hard cornering, the enhanced sport front seats are also designed to give you better maneuverability for steering and shifting.
Sport Pedals
Sport pedals give you a firm foothold and add a bold, racing-inspired detail to the cockpit.
Serial Plate
Every Civic Type R is unique, with an individually numbered serial plate to mark it’s place in the limited production run.
