Honda has exposed the all-new Civic Type R at the two thousand seventeen Geneva Motor Display, ahead of the model’s European launch in the summer. The fresh car builds on Honda’s heritage in developing high-performance hatchbacks, and represents the segment’s ultimate expression of dynamic purity.
Sharing the same fundamentals as the fresh Civic hatchback, the fresh Type R has been engineered from the ground up to produce the most rewarding drive in the hot-hatch segment – both on road and on the race track.
Revised Two.0-litre VTEC TURBO engine and 6-speed manual transmission
The Two.0-litre VTEC TURBO ‘heart’ of the multi-award-winning previous generation Type R has been optimised and refined and now produces three hundred twenty PS with peak torque of four hundred Nm. Throttle response and driveability have improved thanks to optimised engine control settings.
The slick and precise six-speed manual transmission is further improved by a rev match control system, ensuring no compromise in the Type R’s intimate, rewarding connection with the driver.
A stiffer chassis and revised suspension
The fresh Type R takes the lighter, more rigid bod shell of the fresh Civic hatchback and adds further use of adhesive in key areas. Compared to the previous Type R, torsional rigidity is further improved by 38%.
The front Macpherson strut suspension of the standard hatchback is revised with fresh geometry to minimise torque steer and maximise sporty treating. At the rear, the fresh independent multi-link system of the standard car is improved with the use of unique high rigidity suspension arms.
Enhanced driving modes
An enhanced selection of driving modes give the car greater usability compared to the previous Type R. A fresh ‘Comfort’ setting sits alongside agile ‘Sport’ and track-focused ‘+R’ modes. Each selection tailors the adaptive dampers, steering force, gear shift feeling and throttle response of the car on request.
Refined aerodynamics for high-speed stability
The all-new Type R has a more comprehensive aerodynamic package than the previous model, including a smoother underbody, front air curtain, a lightweight rear wing and vortex generators at the trailing edge of the roof line. The muscular, aggressive assets has a best-in-class balance inbetween lift and haul, contributing to greater high speed stability.
Produced in Europe, exported to major markets worldwide
Production of the fresh Civic Type R is anticipated to embark in summer two thousand seventeen at Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) in Swindon – the global manufacturing hub for the 10th generation Civic hatchback.
The Type R will be exported across Europe and to other markets around the world, including Japan and the US. Its arrival in North America will mark the very first time that any Honda-badged Type R has been officially sold there.
