The All-New Honda Civic Type R

After a five year wait, 2015 sees the arrival of the world’s most keenly anticipated hot hatch, the Honda Civic Type R. Billed as a ‘race car for the road’, the all-new Civic Type R will set new standards in the high-performance front-wheel drive hatchback segment.

At the heart of the Civic Type R is an all-new, direct-injected turbocharged 2.0 litre VTEC Turbo engine. Peak power output is 306 hp at 6,500 rpm, and peak torque is 400 Nm at 2,500 rpm – higher than any other Honda Type R model.

The Civic Type R’s blistering performance is unmatched in the front-wheel drive hot hatch segment: the 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint is covered in just 5.7 seconds – making it the fastest accelerating performance front-wheel drive hatchback – and top speed, is a class-leading 270 km/h (167 mph).
