Honda Civic Type R.

Launching in Europe in early 2023, the new model builds on a long tradition of high-performance, race-inspired vehicles. Developed as part of the Ultimate Sports 2.0 model concept, the new Civic Type R builds on the sleek and sporty silhouette of the recently unveiled new Honda Civic e:HEV. In order to underline the sporty look and improve the driving characteristics, the Type R is built significantly lower and wider. Additionally, the model is fitted with 19-inch matte black alloy wheels and bespoke Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.

The large lower grille of the front bumper ensures the supply of air to the engine. The new, discreet bonnet, which is equipped with a ventilation opening, additionally optimizes the air flow. Other design details that help improve aerodynamics include large air vents behind the front wheels and a new, larger rear diffuser. This is integrated directly into the underbody, and its shape harmonises perfectly with the bodywork above it. The new rear spoiler ensures even more downforce. It was tilted backwards to reduce drag. The rear wing is attached to new die-cast aluminum brackets while sitting lower and wider than the previous model. This emphasizes the new slim roofline and wider silhouette.
