This is the production-ready version of the Honda Civic Type R. It goes on sale in March next year. A prototype version was shown at London’s motor show recently.
The new model promises the same high-revving engine as the old Type R. But power is now available across a wider rev range.
Styling is now more muscular. There’s a deep front spoiler, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Like all Civics, the Type R will be built in Swindon.
Key points of the new Type R:
- 210PS 2.0-litre engine – with more usable power
- 0-62mph in 6.6 seconds
- 3dr body shell
- GT version available with added equipment
- On sale: March 2007
