In order to create the best machines, we put them to the toughest test: racing. Whether we win or lose, we never stop trying to improve. The answers have always led us to create better machines, like the latest Civic Type R.

The pedigree of the Civic Type R stretches back to our very first Formula–1 car in 1962: the RA272. Ever since, our Honda development team’s obsession with refinement has helped shape the car you see today — from its rigid chassis to its light, powerful engine.
