The New Honda Civic Type R

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced the release of the all-new Civic Type R, a pure sports edition of the Civic with further enhanced driving performance.
This new Civic Type R was developed to make the driver feel at one with the car for the ultimate driving experience in all driving conditions, including on circuits.

The all-new Civic Type R comes equipped with a specially tuned 2.0-liter normally aspirated engine matched to a 6-speed manual transmission.

The naturally-aspirated K20A 2.0-liter i-VTEC powerplant provides a higher compression ratio and improved breathing efficiency for a maximum output of 165kW (225PS) at 8,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 215Nm (21.9kgm) at 6,100 rpm.

In addition, the Civic Tyre R features a Drive-By-Wire (DBW) that provides finer tuning of throttle response and power output.

The Civic Tyre R's gearbox features a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with a short stroke shift to match the Type R engine, giving it an optimized gear ratios for superior accelerations at high speeds and exhilarating performance.

Newly developed aerodynamic devices further enhance high-speed performance while giving the wide and low form a more aggressive look.
