Engine

Best in its class

The Civic Type R is a high performance, high revving racing machine. Powered by a naturally aspirated K20A 2.0 liter
DOHC i-VTEC engine, it revs up to 8,400rpm with an output of 225PS (165kW) pushing 215Nm (21.9kg-m) of torque.
It’s no wonder it has been rated the best performer in its class.

This engine is supported by specially engineered parts. Air intake and exhaust manifolds have been tuned for high
revolution engine output whilst throttle activation is via drive-by-wire. It is also fitted with 6-speed close ratio manual
transmission gearbox with Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to perfectly match rev range and torque curve.

The baffle plate mitigates oil

starvation during high speed
cornering whilst the oil gutter
plate increases lubrication.

Decreased drag force

Special surface coating as used in the Honda NSX is applied to the cylinder head
port. This reduces roughness by 40%, increasing an approximate output of 2PS.

Increased air intake

The intake manifold is fitted with a large diameter throttle body and variable valve
silencer to increase air intake and exhaust efficiency ratio.

Same treatment on the exhaust side

Body

Aggressive inside and out

A stiffer and lightweight body compliments the powerful engine of the Civic Type R.
Better stability is achieved with an extensive use of high tensile steel sheets that
create a stronger structure. This makes it 50% more rigid and 11.6kg lighter than the
Integra Type R.

Light-weight conversion Designed for stability

Front bumper beam converted to aluminum
Dashboard insulator excluded
Floor melt set excluded
Middle floor under cover excluded
Rear glass sheet converted to thinner sheet glass
Front license bumper base unified
*Weight reduced: 13.4kg,
total vehicle weight without air-conditioning: 1250kg
Rigidity enhancements
Front bulkhead adhesive added
Upper cross main bar board thickness increased
Sub frame adapter unit board thickness increased
Rear floor stiffener and welding point added

Rear stabiliser adapter unit board thickness increased
*Weight increased: 1.8kg
Whether you're cruising on a straight road or
attacking a corner, its aerodynamic body
provides superior maneuverability and
stability. The large rear spoiler completes
the body’s aerodynamics by increasing
downforce and decreasing rear lift.
Meanwhile, the front bumper controls
airflow to the rear diffuser.
The sound of power
The removal of acoustic dampening in the Civic Type R not only
reduces the weight of the car, but also brings life to your driving
with the roar of the i-VTEC engine.

Suspension

A power machine at your command

Power is nothing without control. That's why the Civic Type R is built with superb handling. A specially tuned suspension and alignment setting
along with high performance 18-inch tires, a torque sensitive helical limited slip differential system and large disc brakes give you stability.
The roads will learn to behave when you hug corners at high speeds without breaking a sweat.

Conquers corners
A torque-sensitive type helical Limited Slip Differential (LSD) system
is used in the Civic Type R to limit wheel spin during hard cornering
whilst distributing power evenly when you accelerate.

Superb handling on the tracks and the streets

Exclusively designed front damping rates are 1.25 times higher while
the rear damping rates are 1.6 times higher than the previous Integra
Type R. This gives the Civic Type R great handling in different conditions.

Tire & Brake,
Safety & Ecology
High speed in sharp corners
Fitted with 18-inch high performance
Potenza RE070 tires, you’ll gracefully
handle even the sharpest of corners at
high speeds. Previously used in the
Honda NSX-R, these tires are designed
with the trademark Potenza tread pattern
and advanced silica compound material
throughout its 18-inches for a tighter,
tougher grip.
Pushing the limits safely
Active Safety
Control the car as you please. Even under the
most extreme circumstances, it performs with
high efficiency. It has an advanced interface
that is able to inform the driver of proper seating
positions and driving conditions. The Civic Type R
is also built to prevent and withstand accidents
as much as possible.
The settings in its Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
system is tuned to circuit driving, so you’ll have
enhanced steering control under hard braking
and in slippery conditions.
And when you’re driving at night, you will have
clear visibility from the automatic levelling
mechanism in the High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlights. Meanwhile, an LED type high-mount
brake light makes other drivers aware of you.

Less-grooved, big-block tread
pattern for increased tread
rigidity at high cornering roads.
Inside
Highly grooved tread pattern Stopping power
for improved water evacuation
and reduced hydroplaning.
Within the 18-inch Potenza tires lies a set of huge 17-inch disc brakes
with 4-piston Brembo calipers, so stopping distance is shortened
and fade resistance improved. This allows you to maintain high speed
even during hard braking.
Passive safety
G-CON Technology
G-Force Control absorbs crash energy through
crumple zones while maintaining safety for
occupants. The frame structure is built to
effectively absorb and disperse collision energy.
In addition, Honda’s Advanced Compatibility
Engineering not only increases protection on your
car but also to the other vehicle.
i-SRS Air Bag System
Two Intelligent Sensor Control (i-SRS) front airbags
incorporate a dual stage, dual threshold design.
This measures impact energy and seat belt use to 3-point, load-limiting ELR Seat Belts
ensure the safest possible deployment. Front seats are equipped with 3-point seat belts that work with
an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) system equipped with
pretensioners that automatically tighten and lock in a head-on collision.
ISO FIX Corresponding Child Seat Bar
ISO FIX compatible child seat anchoring bars and tether belt
anchor plates are standard on the rear seat so a child seat can be
installed easily and holds down effectively even in a collision.
*Please be sure to choose the Honda designated child seat.
Ecology
The use of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and Cr6+ (hexalent chromium) have been eliminated from the interior and exterior
components and wherever possible throughout the vehicle to make the car over 90% recyclable. With the removal of acoustic
dampeners, the need for organic material has also been reduced.

greeted by the trademark black and red Honda
Type R spec seats. It is designed with urethane
to cushion vibrations so you can concentrate
better on driving. Meanwhile, its entire shape -
from the back rest to side supports - is designed
to provide ultimate comfort and safety to the
driver and passengers.
