Honda has unwrapped the radical sixth-generation Civic Type R which gains a redesign, mechanical upgrades and improved aerodynamics 🔥
Honda says the uprated engine, which gains a revised turbocharger and new compact housing, is the strongest VTEC turbo ever and that it helps to “deliver the fastest, most addictive yet secure and rewarding drive” in Type R history. The Japanese firm did not reveal detailed performance stats, but claimed the new Type R would have an improved power-to-weight ratio, torque and top speed over the previous model, becoming one of the most powerful cars per litre in its class.
Inside, the Type R gains similar upgrades to the recently-revealed Civic e:HEV. The sporty character of the Type R, meanwhile, is differentiated with a 10.2in touchscreen, a digital cockpit, red Type R trim, sports seats suited to both road and track, blind spot monitoring and suede-effect upholstery.
While the old Type R boasted a particularly dramatic exterior design, this new version is far more understated. A large rear wing makes a return, though, and it's equipped with lightweight 19in alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
