'Without racing, there is no Honda" - Soichiro Honda, Honda Founder

The race track is our test bed.  Regardless of race results, Honda is committed to improve and learn from every race.  Honda remains committed to its challenge of building better, more advanced, exciting machines - Machines like the Civic Type R

Part of Honda's great racing heritage and fused with passion, the Civic Type R encompasses everything you love about driving.

Type R transcends being just a car - it's also a real-life embodiment of the Honda philosophy.  A Type R must be a driving balance of raw exhiliration and performance refinement.  It must offer smooth, useable power delivery and remain true to its racing heritage.  That's why the Type R is supplied with a high-revving normally-aspirated engine.  For the latest Type R that means an improved version of the legendary 2.0 litre i-VTEC engine. 

Install a refined, race inspired six speed transmission , beautifully balanced chassis and the new Civic Type R squeezes every ounce of driving enjoyment from every road, just as it should.
