Honda Civic Type R
VTEC IS BACK!
We had to wait five long years, but finally, sleepless nights are over, and Honda is going to give us (at the modest price of € 35,000), the all-new Civic Type R. One of the hot hatch par excellence, returns and does it like only few others dare yet in an era of downsizing and sensitivity even in styling. The new model, completely renovated in its mechanical compartment, shows off a design that seems to be the illegitimate son of a white shark and a bayonet: the huge rear spoiler is the icing on the cake that is emphasized by the muscular front and back bumpers and a diffuser that does not leaves doubt about how the new Type R is special and pretty damn angry.
The engine is a 2.0cc turbocharged and the red line, instead of arriving at the famous 9000rpm threshold, will stop at “just” 7,000, strong of 310-hp and 400 Nm, already available at 2.500rpm. The Company also declares really important performance, like a 0-100 kph in about 5.7 seconds, and, above all, a top speed of 270 kph. The interior does not know half measures too: extremely sports seats with contrast stitching, manual shift lever close to the driver and everything you’ve ever dreamed to find in a car like this.
We want it! We want it! We want it!
