The latest high performance Civic is a more refined ´superhatch´ than the outgoing Type R, but this doesn´t mean that it´s lost any of it´s driving excitement. Improved comfort levels, integrated styling and handling that has been tuned to enhance responsiveness and predictability look set to make this Type R the most exciting version to date.
The new Type R is still powered by the naturally aspirated, high revving 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine, but the unit has undergone significant reworkings to improve the responsiveness - using a new balancer shaft and drive by wire throttle control. VTEC variable valve timing and VTC variable inlet camshaft technology continue to underpin the structure of the engine.
Max power now sits at 201PS reached at 8,000rpm and the car is generally more responsive, while new improved aerodynamics make sure that the car cleanly cuts through the air.
Acceleration figures are expected to be the same as the 6.6 second. 0-62mph is the time of the outgoing Type R and this should be matched by its successor - with a top speed reaching 146mph. The Civic 5 door chassis forms the basis for the 3-door models and provides a perfect platform for the Type R.
Looks wise, the already strong appearance of the Civic has been enhanced to build an aggressive and assertive look. Front and rear spoilers, triangular foglights and 18" seven-spoke alloys all add to its dominating stance.
The interior is accentuated with the effective Dual Zone dash which is seen in other Civic models, but in the Type R features red illuminated dials set off by gun-metal effect switch panels on either side of the central display. A black, leather-covered steering wheel with red stitching and central ‘H’ logo take centre stage, while the gear shift knob with aluminium-finish has a black boot with red stitching.
To make this car even more exclusive, each Type R will also feature a plaque engraved with the car’s unique serial number is placed just ahead of the gear lever.
