IF YOU NEVER TRY, YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

The bloodline continues with our latest Honda Civic Type R. It’s the most powerful, fastest-accelerating, front-wheel drive hatchback around and holds lap records at five major European circuits – that’s why we call it a race car for the road.

Designed from a dream

"I have always loved cars since I was a small child".

"Our vision for the Civic Type R was manoeuvrability that the driver can put their complete confidence in; and it would make the driver feel like they could keep driving it forever.” It was a dream that came true – in the shape of a Type R. Created with high levels of comfort, unrivalled interior space and track-inspired styling to match its top performance.
