Honda Civic Type R 2020 è disponibile in due nuove versioni: Limited Edition e Sport Line. Entrambe offrono uno stile unico e prestazioni esaltanti, in piena continuità con lo spirito racing che contraddistingue da sempre la generazione “R” di Honda. La nuova Limited Edition è la versione più estrema di Civic Type R mai realizzata fino ad oggi. Costruita per raggiungere i migliori risultati possibili in pista, i nuovi componenti leggeri e gli interni minimal contribuiscono a ridurre il peso di 47 kg, oltre a migliorarne le dinamiche di guida e a conferirne un carattere tutto speciale. In Europa saranno disponibili solo 100 esemplari di questa versione super estrema. La seconda new entry della famiglia Type R è la versione Sport Line, progettata per i clienti in cerca di una berlina sportiva e grintosa ma dalle linee più sobrie e urbane; una Type R in abito da sera. La Sport Line vanta uno spoiler posteriore con pianale ribassato, cerchi in lega da 19” e interni in tessuto nero. Ognuna delle tre versioni 2020 della gamma Type R mantiene inalterato il DNA sportivo che connota da sempre questo iconico modello, in cui prestazioni inebrianti, trazione anteriore, telaio tecnologicamente innovativo e raffinate soluzioni aerodinamiche si combinano in un mix di pura adrenalina. Tutte le versioni della nuova gamma Honda Civic Type R 2020, inclusa la Type R standard, prevedono importanti miglioramenti alla guida e in termini di stile. I contorni dei fari fendinebbia sono caratterizzati da un nuovo design simmetrico che integra superfici lisce e profili eleganti. I gruppi ottici full LED e le luci di posizione completano lo stile minimal che definisce la gamma Civic. Anche le sospensioni sono state migliorate per garantire una più efficace maneggevolezza e maggiore precisione di sterzata. La nuova Civic Type R è dotata di un innovativo sistema frenante, con dischi anteriori flottanti a due componenti e nuove pastiglie. Il modello 2020 vanta anche l’aggiunta del Controllo Acustico Attivo (ASC – Active Sound Control), che caratterizza l’impostazione manuale delle modalità di guida “Sport”, “+R” e “Comfort” di Type R. Questa funzione migliora il suono del motore quando la guida si fa più aggressiva nelle modalità “Sport” e “+R”, mentre lo affina durante l’accelerazione in modalità “Comfort”. Il nuovo datalogger di guida, Honda LogR, collega il computer di bordo e i sensori della Type R ad un’app per smartphone che aiuta il guidatore a monitorare e registrare svariati parametri. Aiuta inoltre a migliorare le tecniche di guida grazie a un algoritmo che misura la fluidità di marcia e l’efficacia della frenata. Questo sistema è un’esclusiva per le versioni Type R standard e Sport Line. Honda Civic Type R 2020: nuovi elementi di stile Le nuove prese d’aria più ampie, la griglia più sottile, insieme al nucleo del radiatore ridisegnato, offrono un passaggio di aria aumentato del 13% rispetto alla versione precedente. Questi miglioramenti permettono di ridurre la temperatura del liquido di raffreddamento fino a 10 gradi, nelle situazioni estreme come in pista. Le proporzioni ampie e ribassate evidenziano il design distintivo e lo stile distintivo da vera berlina. Sull’anteriore, le linee aggressive del paraurti sono accentuate da uno splitter alato in fibra di carbonio e da una linea rossa sportiva che si slancia sull’intera vettura. Come tutti i modelli Type R precedenti, anche queste tre ultime varianti sono impreziosite dal famoso logo “H” in colore rosso. Type R vanta un cofano in alluminio leggero con un condotto d’aria al centro, alloggiato in una nicchia trapezoidale. Rispetto al modello in acciaio della versione standard a cinque porte, pesa 5,3 kg in meno. Honda Civic Type R 2020: Limited Edition La nuova Civic Type R Limited Edition è stata progettata e sviluppata per essere la berlina a trazione anteriore più sportiva del mercato. Grazie all’impiego di nuovi componenti leggeri e ad un abitacolo essenziale interamente sviluppato attorno al pilota, la Limited Edition rappresenta la più estrema versione di Type R mai realizzata. La nuova Limited Edition della casa automobilistica è caratterizzata da cerchi in lega leggeri da 20” BBS e pneumatici Michelin Cup 2, perfetti per la guida in pista ma in grado di offrire prestazioni eccezionali anche su strada. Cerchi e pneumatici si integrano alla perfezione alle sospensioni modificate, mentre la nuova taratura dello sterzo offre il massimo controllo. Per riflettere la natura grintosa della Civic Type R Limited Edition, verrà introdotto un nuovo colore esclusivo, il “Sunlight Yellow”, abbinato ad un badge cromato con il logo Civic posto sul retro. Il tetto cromato nero, dello stesso colore degli specchietti retrovisori e della presa d’aria posta sul cofano, si combinano perfettamente alla colorazione Sunlight Yellow e rendono ancora più audace questa versione esclusiva, unica nel suo segmento. Honda Civic Type R 2020: Sport Line La Sport Line, più sobria ed elegante, amplia la gamma Civic Type R 2020. La nuova versione mantiene il DNA sportivo e le straordinarie dinamiche di guida di Civic Type R, introducendo al contempo uno stile più urbano e una guida più raffinata. La differenza stilistica più evidente tra la Type R Sport Line e la Civic Type R standard è lo spoiler posteriore ribassato. Questo conferisce alla vettura una silhouette più discreta, pur mantenendone il carattere grintoso. La Civic Type R Sport Line si distingue anche per una linea grigio argentata che corre lungo il bordo inferiore della vettura. La Civic Type R Sport Line offre una guida sportiva ma meno aggressiva delle sue sorelle più estreme. I nuovi esclusivi cerchi in lega grigio scuro da 19” montano pneumatici Michelin Pilot Sports 4S con un battistrada più morbido che ne migliora il comfort su strada. Anche i livelli di rumorosità, vibrazioni e durezza (NVH) sono stato perfezionati, grazie all’impiego di materiali insonorizzanti collocati nel bagagliaio e nel portellone posteriore. Ampliando il ventaglio di colori della gamma, la Type R e la Type R Sport Line saranno disponibili nella nuova e audace tonalità “Racing Blue”. Honda Civic Type R 2020: motore VTEC TURBO da litri La potenza massima erogata dal motore turbo a benzina a iniezione diretta è di 320 CV a giri/min e la coppia massima è di 400 Nm tra e giri/min. Raggiunge una velocità massima di 272 km/h e va da 0 a 100 km/h in soli 5,8 secondi. La tecnologia Honda VTEC (Variable Timing and Lift Electronic Control) e quella Dual-VTC (Dual-Variable Timing Control) offrono vantaggi specifici per la configurazione del turbocompressore singolo. Il VTEC varia il grado di sollevamento della valvola di scarico per ridurre il ritardo del turbo attraverso l’aumento della pressione di scarico a basso numero di giri, fornendo al contempo un’elevata potenza ad alto numero di giri. Il Dual-VTC offre un grado di sovrapposizione nell’apertura della valvola, che è controllata con precisione in un ampio intervallo di giri al minuto per migliorare la reattività e l’efficienza dei consumi. La valvola di scarico elettrica del motore offre un maggior grado di libertà nel controllo dell’alimentazione rispetto al turbo tradizionale. Il cambio manuale a sei rapporti, fluido e preciso, garantisce al guidatore un’esperienza di guida immersiva e totale. Tre terminali di scarico completamente funzionali sono posizionati al centro del diffusore posteriore. Lo scarico offre un sound inconfondibile che sarebbe imperdonabile chiamare “rumore”, a cui si aggiunge il Controllo Acustico Attivo (ASC) che ne rende ancora più aggressivo il rombo oltre che migliorare l’esperienza di guida. L’ASC vanta impostazioni specifiche per ognuna delle modalità di guida Type R: “Sport”, “+R” e “Comfort”. Questa funzione migliora il suono del motore quando la guida si fa più aggressiva nelle modalità “Sport” e “+R”, affinandolo durante l’accelerazione in modalità “Comfort”. Honda Civic Type R 2020: modalità di guida La “Comfort” offre una guida più tranquilla, perfetta per gli usi quotidiani. Rispetto alla Type R di precedente generazione, offre una configurazione delle sospensioni più morbida e una sensazione di sterzata più fluida. Le caratteristiche di questa modalità di guida sono rese possibili grazie agli ammortizzatori adattivi a tripla camera, che consentono una maggiore variabilità della forza di smorzamento in termini di tensione e compressione. Non è la modalità di guida ideale per le superfici irregolari ma è la più sicura in autostrada o nelle condizioni di marcia lineare alle alte velocità. Può essere selezionata usando una pratica levetta in prossimità del cambio. Le luci del quadro strumenti cambiano in base alla modalità prescelta, diminuendo di intensità e numero di accenti rossi intorno ai parametri di guida. La modalità “Sport” è l’impostazione predefinita all’accensione del veicolo. A metà strada tra la guida comfort e una risposta più estrema e dinamica, rappresenta una via di mezzo tra le modalità standard e +R della Type R di precedente generazione (modello 2015). La modalità “+R” rimane la prescelta nella guida su circuito. Rispetto alla Type R precedente, la reattività del motore è aumentata, con una mappatura della coppia più aggressiva e performante a regimi di motore più bassi. Anche l’incremento dell’acceleratore generato dalla funzione di abbinamento dei giri è migliorato. La forza di smorzamento offerta dal sistema di sospensioni adattive a quattro ruote in modalità “+R” produce una marcia più stabile e lineare, oltre a una maggiore agilità nelle prestazioni di alto livello. Inoltre, l’EPS a rapporto variabile diventa più pesante con una servoassistenza ridotta per offrire una sensazione di sterzata più diretta. Il sistema VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) è settato ad hoc per la modalità “+R”, in modo da focalizzarsi su accelerazione e prestazioni, offrendo una maggiore percentuale di slittamento e imbardata prima di intervenire. In più, il Sistema di controllo della trazione e la funzione VSA possono essere disattivati completamente tenendo premuto il pulsante VSA per cinque secondi quando Type R è in modalità “+R”. Le luci del quadro strumenti passano a una tonalità di rosso più intensa quando si seleziona la modalità “+R” azionando la levetta sulla consolle centrale. Honda Civic Type R 2020: gli interni Il volante con rivestimento in Alcantara ottimizza la presa, mentre il nuovo design a goccia del pomello del cambio richiama i precedenti modelli Type R. Con un contrappeso interno di 90 g, aiuta a migliorare la sensibilità e la precisione del cambio. Il profilo centrale in carbonio della plancia è circondato da inserti gessati rossi, che si estendono ai pannelli delle portiere, per offrire a Type R un carattere sportivo unico. Gli interni sportivi sono progettati per dar vita all’abitacolo più comodo e sofisticato di sempre e trasudano un’estetica moderna, elegante e sportiva, bilanciando l’inconfondibile look degli esterni. L’abitacolo si caratterizza per le linee orizzontali che accentuano la sensazione di ampiezza e lunghezza, e quindi di spaziosità. Grazie alla piattaforma più lunga e più ampia e al passo aumentato della Civic di decima generazione, guidatore e passeggeri, sia anteriori che posteriori, godono di una migliore visibilità sulla strada e di ancora più spazio a bordo. La superficie superiore della plancia, ora più compatta, offre al guidatore una visibilità eccezionale. Il vano portabagagli offre un generoso volume di 420 litri ed è dotato di un compatto telo scorrevole e amovibile. È facile caricare oggetti ingombranti e pesanti grazie ai sedili posteriori frazionabili, alla soglia di carico bassa e all’ampia apertura del vano portabagagli abbinata a un pavimento piatto. Honda ha rivisto i comandi di clima e Infotainment, aggiungendo pulsanti e quadranti fisici ergonomici per ottimizzare l’usabilità e la funzionalità della gamma Civic. La console centrale vanta una finitura color nero lucido per offrire un vero “technology centre”. La parte inferiore, davanti alla leva del cambio, è configurata come un vano a due livelli con un vassoio anteriore che offre un rapido accesso ai dispositivi personali, oltre a essere equipaggiato con un tappetino per la ricarica wireless. Un secondo ripiano dietro la console centrale offre un vano portaoggetti più discreto, oltre all’accesso alle porte HDMI e USB e alle prese a 12 V. Un passaggio per cavi collega il secondo vassoio al primo. Sopra alla console centrale si trova il touchscreen da 7” Honda Connect, dove vengono visualizzate anche le immagini catturate dai retrovisori digitali. Il touschscreen offre inoltre un’operatività intuitiva migliorata e un’integrazione smartphone totale con Apple CarPlay e Android Auto. La Civic Type R offre in esclusiva, per ogni modalità di guida, un’illuminazione specifica in grado di fornire informazioni altamente tecniche, tra cui un indicatore LED per indicare quando scalare di marcia, un indicatore della pressione di alimentazione, un accelerometro e un cronometro per il calcolo del tempo di percorrenza sul giro. Honda Civic Type R 2020: Limited Edition – interni Gli interni della Civic Type R Limited Edition, che fanno eco alla tradizione sportiva Honda, vantano sedili rossi, un volante rosso in Alcantara e un pomello del cambio a goccia. Ogni modello è dotato di una targa che indica il numero seriale di costruzione dell’auto. Il sistema Infotainment e quello di condizionamento dell’aria sono stati eliminati per esaltare il carattere “racing” di questa versione. Il peso aggiuntivo viene risparmiato riducendo i materiali fonoassorbenti nel tetto, nel pannello del portellone posteriore, nel parafanghi anteriore e nella plancia. Honda Civic Type R 2020: Sport Line – interni Gli interni della nuova Civic Type R Sport Line mantengono un fascino incentrato sulle prestazioni, con un’atmosfera più raffinata. I sedili sportivi neri con impunture rosse sono accompagnati da un nuovo pomello del cambio a goccia e da un volante in Alcantara. Le impunture rosse sono presenti ovunque, anche sui pannelli delle porte, per riflettere il carattere racing della gamma Type R di Honda. Honda Civic Type R 2020: software di guida “LogR” La nuova tecnologia di Honda per il monitoraggio delle prestazioni di guida fa il suo debutto sulla Civic Type R. Honda LogR è un innovativo sistema che analizza i dati rilevati dal computer di bordo e dai sensori della Type R e ne permette la lettura su un’applicazione per smartphone ideata ad hoc per aiutare i piloti a monitorare e registrare tutti i parametri di guida dell’auto. Grazie al suo algoritmo di ultima generazione, Honda LogR aiuta a migliorare l’abilità di guida sia in pista che fuori. Questo sistema permette anche la lettura dei dati direttamente sul computer di bordo della Type R e si dimostra molto più efficace di quanto non facciano le applicazioni fornite da terzi. Honda LogR dispone di tre funzioni principali: la “Performance Monitor”, la “Log Mode” e, infine, quella “Auto Score”. Il Performance Monitor, quando l’applicazione è in funzione, mostra al conducente sul display centrale le informazioni di guida in tempo reale. La funzione Log Mode, invece, registra i tempi sul giro in pista, permettendo così al pilota di migliorare le proprie abilità. La funzione Auto Score aiuta a mantenere prestazioni efficienti nella guida quotidiana monitorando frenata, accelerazione, risposta del volante e traiettoria, e restituisce al guidatore un vero e proprio punteggio basato su algoritmo. —– Se questo articolo vi è piaciuto, condividetelo sui vostri social e seguiteci su Facebook, Twitter, Instagram e Flipboard.

[MUSIC PLAYING] ALISTAIR WEAVER: The Honda Civic Type R has long been Edmunds's favorite hot hatch, but now its crown is under threat from the limited edition 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP, the most powerful, most extreme, and the most expensive production Mini ever. I'm Alistair Weaver, and we're here at the Edmunds Test Track with two of the hottest hatchbacks ever produced. Both are either new or updated, both are over 300 horsepower, both are front wheel drive, and both are uncompromising in their pursuit of performance. We're going to put them through the full Edmunds testing procedure, and then we're going to drive them on the track and declare a winner. But before all of that, be sure to subscribe to the Edmunds channel, and check out the link below for a companion piece on that reveals all the testing data. Let's get on with it. To be honest, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Minis. It was my mom's first car, and legend has it that if she hadn't broken down in it and asked my dad for help, then I wouldn't have been here. And I'm sure we can all agree what a tragedy that would have been. That first, classic Mini really was a work of genius, a genuinely pioneering family car with trick suspension that just happened to be good on the track and rally stage. The Mini Cooper S that won the Monte Carlo rally still looked like my mom's shopping machine. It had a kind of utilitarian chic. Unlike this car. It's like Mini's designers took one look at the Honda Civic Type R and said, hold my beer. Now, whether you like it or not is purely subjective, and I certainly enjoy its sense of theater. But what does irritate me is how much of it is fake. Now, Carlos Lago has his pen. My old skiing buddy, Matt Watson at Carlyle has his Stick of Truth, and I have my Chopstick of Shame. So ready for this, Charlie? Stay with me. Engine air intake? No such thing. Engine power bulge? Also fake. Front grille? Well, some of it's real. Some of it's not. We can forgive that, I think. These kind of wheel arch extensions designed to widen the track of the car give you, in theory, a bit more poise and stability. This is using carbon-reinforced plastic, the sort of thing that you find on the BMW I3 and I8. And apparently, they channel down the side of the car. But if you follow me, you'll see at the back here that these vents don't really go anywhere. But what it actually does is collect gravel-- strange. You also get that natty little gas cap. And then, if you can follow me to the rear, please, sir, there's a diffuser down here. If you crawl underneath, you'll discover it isn't really a diffuser at all. You get some fantastic looking exhaust pipes. Now, the piece de resistance is this split-wing, complete with little gurney flaps. Now, you might be thinking this is a moment of aerodynamic genius, but what it's actually for is to make sure that you don't decapitate the aerial every time you open the truck. Watch this. [LAUGHS] The other thing I should point out, if you look inside, in order to save weight, Mini has junked the rear seats-- you can't even have them fitted as an option-- and gone to is the luggage shelf. What you do get is this sort of red bar, which, at first glance, looks like a strut brace designed to improve the integrity of the body shell. But according to Mini, it's actually there to stop your shopping whacking you in the back if you brake suddenly. It's quite a collection. It's not exactly minimalism. In fact, in my eyes, it's not exactly Mini. It's hard to argue that under BMW's stewardship, Mini is getting further and further away from that original purist ethos. But at least it's not just a styling exercise. There is meat on those bones, which is just as well given it costs $45,000, or around $8,000 more than the Civic Type R. You get 301 horsepower. That's 73 more than the standard John Cooper Works. There's reinforced crankshaft. There's new pistons, a new turbo, a new oil sump, even a new engine mount. But the one thing you don't get is a manual gearbox. Apparently, BMW doesn't have a manual box for a transverse engine capable of handling the GT's 331 pounds-feet of torque. Instead, you have an eight-speed auto with flappy paddles-- more of which later. Like every car we test, we've put it through the full gamut of the Edmunds experience-- so 1/4-mile speeds, braking, and even lateral acceleration, or G-Force to you and I. And now, by the magic of socially distanced cellular technology, I'm being texted the results. So text me, please, Mr. Editor. [DIGITAL EFFECTS] And here we go. Honda Civic Type R, 0 to 60, seconds. Mini GP, helped by that automatic gearbox and slightly lazy clutch action in the Honda. 1/4 of a mile, at miles an hour for the Honda, for the Mini at miles an hour. So braking, that's how fast it stops, from 60 to 0, 107 feet for the Honda, 105 feet for the Mini. So about that much shorter. Now onto the skid pad for a measure of lateral acceleration G-Force. Honda Civic Type R, which is a really good result. Anything over 1g, particularly for a front-drive hatch, is super impressive. Mini GP? Drum roll, please. [DRUM ROLL] So the Honda has more lateral grip. Enough of the stats. Let's hit the circuit. You've probably noticed by now that here we're focusing mainly on the Mini. If you want the full tech lowdown on the Type R, watch Carlos Lagos's superb film on our channel. Now we'll hit the track. So as I warm my car up, let's reacquaint ourselves with the benchmark. It's amazing how immediately at home you feel in the Civic Type R. These seats are fantastic, way better than they are in the Mini. And this driving position really is first-rate. I like the Alcantara wheel they've got on this, the recently updated type R, and it's got this slightly thicker, heavier gear know. Now, I remember a development engineer once telling me that you could tell how sporty a car was by the distance between the gear stick and the steering wheel. And in this car, it's-- well, it's barely a hand span of my slightly puny hand. So it's nice, on a modern car, to be able to feel the cogs mesh in the way that you can in the Honda. Doesn't sound amazing, but what this car's always done well is to put its power down. There's over 300 horsepower. Through front-wheel drives, it's normally a recipe for problems. But actually, you can start to feed out of these corners at 90 degree right and feel the turbo kicking and provide that torque, and away you go. 7,000, hitting the rev limiter, hard on the brakes. Lift off, turn it in a little bit. Held the nose. You can start to feel the rear end rotate. This is a car that you can steer on the throttle, but without it ever feeling alarming. I'm going to go into R-plus mode, which, on the road, it makes it way, way too harsh. But it's actually been designed for circuit use or tracks like this. So this is now their Civic Type R in full attack. You never forget you're in a front-wheel drive car, but there's a lot of fluency. Yes, you can place the car really well on the circuit. And I love this rest matching as well. In some ways, it's kind of lazy not to have to heel and toe, but it does make life easy a little bit to say that you're hitting the rev limiter. Fourth gear, a little lift through here, and hard on the brakes. Down to third, moved a little bit on the braking. That's OK. Turn it in. Hard on the throttle, and the car actually helps you to pull it out of the corner. It's really easy to drive, but it's still entertaining, and it's far from intimidating. And that little bump in that corner, you can feel how aggressive the damping is in this mode. But that's always going to be in the Honda's favor. Because it's got electronic dumping on the road, you can switch it down to Comfort or even Sport and have a ride quality which is compliant enough to be tolerable. Of course, the other thing in the Honda's favor is this is still a proper five-seater family car with a good-sized trunk and plenty of space for genuine adults behind me. This really is a car that you can sell to the family as a everyday tool. Right, come on, Mini. Inside, it'll instantly feel familiar to pretty much any other Mini driver. You do get, though, these fairly funky digital displays and some 3D-printed flappy paddles here on the steering wheel that actually move with the rack. You also get more 3D printing here on the dashboard, including your car's unique build number. Apart from that, though, pretty much business as usual, including the excellent Mini driving position. On the electronics, you have a unique Mini GT Stability Control Mode. If I activate it here, it gives me this little message on the dash that says "Sporty Driving Experience due to Later Intervention of Suspension Control Systems." Which is odd, because it does absolutely nothing to the suspension. Anyway, let's go. [EXHAUST REVVING] To be honest, our handling circuit at the Edmunds Test Track could have been tailor-made for this Mini. It's more like a tarmac rally stage than a traditional racing circuit. So if it's going to feel good anywhere, it should feel good here. To create this car, Mini's engineers have given the standard John Cooper Works a thorough going-over. It now sits 10 millimeters-- that's about 1/3 of an inch-- lower to the ground, and they've upgraded the springs, the dampers, and the stabilizer bars. Now, unlike the Honda, there is no electronic damping. So it only really has one mode, and that's, well, angry. So it's kind of like my ex. So at the moment, we're in stability GP mode. Let's see what she can do. Now, that ride quality on the road at times, if I'm honest, can feel slightly brutal. It never really settles. And I was driving down the highway, talking to a friend on the phone, and I had to actually apologize, because he could hear this kind of fluttering in my voice. And when you hit expansion joints, then there a real hard kick in your spine. But this circuit here is a lot smoother, so that's diminished. But it's still very, very firm. And the other thing about it is you have this constant presence of torque steer, the challenge that the front tires have of actually deploying all that power. The way the Honda puts its power down is a lot more efficient. You're always conscious it is front-wheel drive, but it works with you. In the Mini, you feel that the mechanical diff is always doing battle. And you can feel that sort of kicking back through the steering. And I don't want a sports car that's easy to drive. I don't-- I want to feel like there's a challenge. I want to feel like it rewards me when I do things well. But this car, it feels like it's not so much working with you as hampering progress. Ultimately, somehow, as well, in this pursuit of ultimate performance, Mini's deprived this car of the kind of ultimate agility for which it's renowned. I can't help think that a standard Cooper S would feel a lot more agile, a lot more willing to play than this GP does. I'm going to try, now, actually, just turning all the systems off. Dynamic stability control is now completely off. Let's see what difference this makes. So turn it in, be patient. [SCOFFS] I keep knocking the gearstick with my knee. Coming out of this second gear corner, I feel that I'm constantly fighting that front end. Turn it in. You have to be pretty aggressive to kill that initial understeer, and again. And then you see the car. As soon as I come back onto the power, the car is wanting to push me effectively to the outside of the circuit. And particularly on a circuit as tight and twisty as this, when you really do want to use the full extremity of the tarmac, it doesn't inspire confidence in the way that the Honda does. Also, you don't have a manual gearbox, which as fine. My god, but nor is it a double clutch transmission. It's actually a standard auto, which means it's not as quick to change. Sometimes, particularly on the downshifts, you shift, and then you kind of wait for it to happen. You get this initial push, and that will fire it out I feel like I'm working that much harder, and not, necessarily, in a good way. And I'm sorry if this is sounding really negative, because on paper, it's got so much going for it. But it's just not working for me. And earlier, I actually threw the keys to a couple of other members of the Edmunds test team for their opinion, and we all kind of came up with the same feeling. I find it, actually, quite frustrating, because as I said at the beginning, I've always liked Minis, and I really, really wanted to like this GP. But it just feels like they're trying to push their recipe a bit too far. You sometimes get into cars that are driven more by a kind of marketing demand to create some buzz and create some excitement in the media than a bunch of engineering know-how. And this car feels like that. It's somehow less than the sum of its parts. It just feels like they're stretching themselves a little bit too far. [MUSIC PLAYING] And so to the conclusion. And to be honest, I'm finding it difficult to be so hard on the Mini, because I really, really wanted to like the GP. I love mad cars, and this is certainly one of those. But we're here to be objective. And I reckon you buy that car because you must have the fastest, most expensive, arguably one of the most exclusive Minis ever built. But you don't buy it because it's a great car, because frankly, it isn't. If you really care about cars and excellence like I do-- and so does everybody else at Edmunds-- then the only choice is the Honda Civic Type R. The best just got that little bit better. To be honest, it wasn't even close.

30/06 2020 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition samochodem bezpieczeństwa WTCR 2020 Moto sport / Honda W najbliższym sezonie WTCR w zawodach FIA World Touring Car Cup 2020 autem prowadzącym startujące pojazdy będzie Civic Type R Limited Edition. Civic Type R Limited Edition został zaprezentowany w lutym, w mediolańskiej siedzibie głównej firmy JAS Motorsport, która od wielu lat współpracuje z Hondą i jest jej oficjalnym sportowym partnerem. Type R Limited Edition to najbardziej ekstremalne wcielenie hatchbacka, jedna z dwóch nowych wersji, które powiększą gamę Type R w tym roku. Wersja Limited Edition – na której bazuje Civic Type R TCR – została wyposażona w te same systemy aktywnego bezpieczeństwa i wspomagania kierowcy. Type R Limited Edition Safety Car wyróżnia się lakierem „Sunlight Yellow” – tym samym, który wzbogacił paletę lakierów seryjnego przednionapędowego hatchbacka Hondy. Ponadto 20-calowe, kute felgi aluminiowe BBS, opony Michelin Pilot Sport Cup-2, dwuczęściowe pływające tarcze hamulcowe i zmodyfikowane amortyzatory, a także „odciążone” wnętrze, które przyczyniło się do zmniejszenie masy wersji Limited Edition o 47 kg w porównaniu z Type R GT. Limited Edition napędzany jest znanym silnikiem VTEC Turbo z modelu Type R o mocy 320 KM oraz maksymalnym momencie obrotowym równym 400 Nm. Przyspieszenie od 0 do 100 km/h wynosi 5,7 sek. Civic Type R, w roli samochodu bezpieczeństwa, otrzyma malowanie podkreślające drapieżny charakter wersji seryjnej pojazdu. Będzie ono dziełem belgijskiego artysty Vanufa, który zaprojektował wiele oficjalnych malowań dla modeli Hondy, startujących w wyścigach samochodów turystycznych.

Honda announces pricing for the 2021 FK8 Civic Type R & Phoenix Yellow Limited Edition model. The 2020 Type R received some minor updates and many of those will carry over to both the standard

Feb 19, 2020 at 8:00pm ET Since coming to the United States for the first time in 2017, the Honda Civic Type R has been widely praised as one of the best performance cars on sale. Adding to this reputation, Honda announced today that joining the new facelifted 2020 Civic Type R is a lighter-weight, track-focused version of the street car called the Civic Type R Limited Edition. Only 600 examples of this special edition will make it to the market. While its name doesn’t exactly break convention, the Limited Edition’s purpose is simple: take back the front-wheel-drive record at the Nürburgring, which Honda will likely attempt later this year, though that is unconfirmed at this time. To make this car faster than the 7:40 time set by the Renault Mégane Trophy-R, Honda reduced the car’s weight from the standard Type R with BBS forged aluminum wheels that save 18 pounds ( kilograms) and removed sound deadening, the rear heater ducts to save an additional 28 pounds ( kilograms). European-spec’d versions of the Limited Edition will also ditch the infotainment system and air conditioning saving additional pounds, however, the cars retain those features. Enhancing the Limited’s track prowess, Honda traded the standard Continental tires for stickier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. Finally, the company reworked the dampers to a more aggressive state of tune and recalibrated the steering for additional feedback to the driver. In addition to making this a more hardcore Type R for the street and track, Honda also makes the Limited differ from the standard car by giving it exclusive Phoenix Yellow paint that draws back to the Acura Integra Type R. All 600 units coming to the market will wear this color, along with contrasting black accents and a unique number plaque inside. Everything You Need To Know About The 2020 Civic Type R: We know that the Limited Edition will make its way to the market later this year in the fall, but Honda has yet to confirm pricing. We can expect it to command a premium over the standard Type R’s $39,995 starting price, but just how much is still undetermined. With its weight reduction, revised hardware, and special color scheme, the Civic Type R Limited Edition is sure to be a hot commodity by the brand’s most hardcore fans. Whether or not it gets the change to reclaim bragging rights around the world's most infamous racing circuit remains to be seen.

Under the hood, the 2021 Civic Type R draws power from the same race-bred direct-injected and turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with VTEC™ valvetrain, putting out a peak 306-horseopwer and 295 of torque (both SAE net), with power to the front wheels delivered through a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. As with the “standard” Type R, drivers can choose between three driving modes – Comfort, Sport and +R – that vary damping force, steering assist and throttle mapping. The new-for-2020 Active Sound Control modifies interior sound in concert with chosen drive mode.

Mar 24, 2020. There was no audacious rear wing on this 2020 Honda Civic Sport Touring hatchback, nor the 306-horsepower, 23.2-psi turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, the snick-snicky six-speed manual

Abhishek Katariya Feb 24, 2020 For Honda Civic Type R KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition has been revealed by the company which will obviously be sold in limited numbers depending on the markets the current-gen Civic Type R is available. While the US market will get 600 units, Honda Europe has decided to offer just 100 units. So, the new 2020 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is aimed at fulfilling the distinguishing need of the buyers across the globe. Well, then what’s new? To start with, Honda has explicitly mentioned that it is the “purest Type R to date… developed with track performance as its core focus”. While the powertrain options on offer remain the same as before, what’s new is the weight of the car. Honda mentions that the new Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is 47 kg lighter than the regular model which will have a great impact on the performance. You’d still find the same V-TEC four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine under the hood that pumps out 320 PS of power at 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. The power mill is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox that transfers power to the front wheels. The weight has been reduced by including new alloys that are 20-inch BBS forged alloys that accounts for approximately 8 per cent weight reduction, revamped dampers, and a recalibrated steering wheel that offers supreme feedback and control. Additionally, the rear wiper has been removed, while on the inside, AC system, infotainment head unit, and tonneau cover have been chucked away. When that wasn’t enough, the company also reduced the amount of sound-deadening materials in the dash, front bumper, rear hatch panel and roof. On the outside, a contrasting colour scheme of bright yellow and black has been followed. All the limited edition models will be offered with the same, this yellow in the US is called Phoenix Yellow, whereas, in Europe, it’s referred to Sunlight Yellow. The exterior elements like mirror caps, roof and air intake vent on the bonnet get black paint. You’d also notice a Civic badge on the tailgate that’s finished in dark chrome. Inside, it sports Alcantara steering with red highlights, a new teardrop-style gear knob, red bucket seats and a plaque with the build number of the car. On the safety front, it gets the Honda Sensing Safety suite that includes features like Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning. If the yellow is too flashy for your liking, you can go with the Civic Type R Sport Line, with more discrete aerodynamic styling, features and refined ride quality. This version of the Civic Type R comes with a low-deck rear spoiler, grey accent line at the lower edge of the car, soundproofing materials in the tailgate and boot and smaller 19-inch wheels finished in dark grey on the outside. There is a new Racing Blue colour on offer with the Sport Line and the standard CTR. While on the inside, it is bestowed with Alcantara steering wheel, teardrop-style gear knob, black bucket seats with contrasting red stitching, air-conditioning system and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The Adaptive Damper System’s control software has been updated for a better response along with its braking system. The braking duties are taken care of by the two-piece floating front discs and new brake pads. This new braking setup reduces the unsprung weight by kg approx. There is a new system called the Honda LogR performance datalogger that is responsible for recording different performance parameters through sensors and onboard computer which can be monitored by the driver later via a mobile app. There are three modes, Log Mode that monitors and maps vehicle’s location using GPS and gathers braking, acceleration, cornering G and other data with the help of sensors. The other mode is Auto Score in which a score is generated based on driver’s driving behaviour, data recorded here is for acceleration, deceleration, turning and straight-line driving. Then, there is Performance Monitor showing real-time information like temperatures, oil and atmospheric pressures, coolant temperature, gear position and G-meter. The Civic Type R Limited Edition will be made available from summer this year, pricing of which is yet to be revealed. The models like Civic Type R Sport Line and GT can be bought in Germany starting this Spring. While the former is priced at 41,990 euros (RM190,127 approx), the latter gets a retail tag of 41,490 euros (RM187,858 approx).

^{New Limited Edition brings go-faster dynamic package for ultimate Type R performance, clothed in exclusive Phoenix Yellow Limited Edition features BBS forged alloys, extra sticky Michelins, weight reduction, and bespoke chassis tuning Type R Limited Edition1 set new front-wheel drive Suzuka Circuit record The 2021 Honda Civic Type R begins arriving in dealers today, heightened by the addition later this month of the ultimate street-legal Type R, the Limited Edition. Since its debut in 2017, Civic Type R has quickened the pulses of hot-hatch enthusiasts, earning widespread praise from media and owners alike. The new Limited Edition model turns up Type R performance further still, with lower weight, improved handling, a higher-performance wheel and tire combination, and an exclusive, eye-catching Phoenix Yellow paint. The 2021 Civic Type R comes with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $37,495, while the Type R Limited Edition has an MSRP of $43,995 (neither including the $955 destination and handling charge). With only 600 Limited Edition units available, it is recommended buyers contact their local authorized dealerships directly for availability of this exclusive model. The 2021 Type R Limited Edition will come in an exclusive Phoenix Yellow color, with gloss black paint on the roof, outside mirror caps, and intake vent on the hood, along with a dark chrome Civic badge on the rear hatch. Inside, each Limited Edition has a special numbered plaque on the center console designating its build number. The 2021 Civic Type R and Type R Limited Edition carry forward the numerous updates made to the 2020 Type R, including the freshened front and rear exterior styling, larger grille opening and radiator for improved engine cooling, and interior updates such as the Alcantara™-wrapped steering wheel, and a new weighted shift knob. Both feature the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collison Warning, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. TYPE R LIMITED EDITIONThe 2021 Type R Limited Edition embodies multiple engineering and feature changes designed to maximize performance, without sacrificing Type R’s unique combination of razor-sharp performance and civilized daily-driving manners. Racers know that reducing weight is key to better performance at the track, which is why a number of measures were taken to reduce the curb weight of the Type R Limited Edition by 50 lbs. versus the standard Type R. Replacing the standard Type R wheels with lightweight forged-aluminum alloys from BBS saves the Type R Limited Edition an additional 18 pounds of unsprung weight, which has an important impact on agility and roadholding with a side benefit to ride comfort. The lighter weight results in lower rotational inertia, an effect amplified by lightweight two-piece floating front brake rotors that were applied to all Type Rs in 2020, which yielded a pounds of weight savings per side. Going further still, 28 pounds of sound deadening materials have been removed from the roof, rear hatch panel, and front fenders and dash; even the cargo cover, rear heater ducts and rear wiper mechanism were removed to save weight. The Type R Limited Edition also features grade-exclusive Michelin Cup 2 tires with improved cornering performance2 and reduced weight (1 lb. each). To take full advantage of the lighter weight wheels and extra-grippy tires, Limited Edition features unique programming for the Active Damper System (ADS), which was already updated just last year to sample inputs 10 times faster the before. Similarly, the electrically assisted power steering has been reprogrammed to match the elevated dynamic performance and lighter weight of the BBS alloys. The result is an even more rewarding driving experience, especially during on-track driving. Under the hood, the 2021 Civic Type R and Type R Limited Edition draw power from the same race-bred direct-injected and turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with VTEC™ valvetrain, putting out a peak 306-horseopwer (SAE net) and a peak 295 of torque (SAE net), with power to the front wheels delivered through a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Both Type R models allow drivers to choose between three driving modes – Comfort, Sport and +R – that vary throttle mapping, damping force and steering assist. Suzuka Track RecordThe Civic Type R Limited Edition (European spec) recently stormed to a new front-wheel drive track record at Suzuka Circuit, Honda's Formula 1 racetrack in Japan, with a time of 2 minutes seconds. Originally built as a test facility for Honda, the Suzuka track's figure-8 configuration today is known worldwide as a highlight of the Formula 1 season as a driver and fan favorite.

Known as the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition, Honda says this special model is aimed specifically at track junkies, but its most substantial change has to be its paint job. It will come only in Phoenix Yellow, a color that's long been associated with Honda's Type R models of the past but is appearing on the current car for the first time.

La casa asiatica aggiorna l’iconica berlina due volumi che monta il 2 litri turbo benzina da 320 cavalli. Tre opzioni: Type R standard, Sport Line e l’estrema Limited Edition che arriverà in Europa in sole 100 unità Una berlina compatta a due volumi e trazione anteriore con Dna corsaiolo. Meccanica e aerodinamica raffinate per offrire un’esperienza di guida racing. Il tutto confezionato in un’auto dallo stile che richiama la più estrema tradizione giapponese. Ecco la nuova Honda Civic Type R 2020, una gamma rinnovata e ampliata, caratterizzata dall’introduzione di originali elementi stilistici in particolare sui due nuovi allestimenti di vertice, la Limited Edition - che in Europa sarà disponibile in soli 100 esemplari - e la Sport Line. Entrambe, come la versione d’ingresso della Type R “standard”, sono dotate di motore Vtec Turbo benzina 4 cilindri da 2 litri e 320 cavalli ( giri/minuto) con 400 Nm di coppia massima abbinato al cambio manuale a 6 rapporti. Le prestazioni? La nuova Type R tocca i 272 km/h e scatta da ferma a 100 km/h in 5,8 secondi. LA NUOVA GAMMA 2020— L’intera gamma Civic Type R, nelle tre declinazioni, con il model year 2020 si caratterizza per i contorni dei fari fendinebbia ridisegnati con un design simmetrico che integra superfici lisce e profili eleganti. L’aggiornamento include inoltre gruppi ottici full Led, sospensioni adattive migliorate - grazie a un software che “legge” le asperità dell’asfalto e regola la risposta degli ammortizzatori indipendenti - per garantire più maneggevolezza e maggiore precisione di sterzata, un innovativo sistema frenante firmato Brembo con dischi anteriori flottanti e perforati (da 350 millimetri) a due componenti e nuove pastiglie, al posteriore dischi pieni da 305 millimetri. TYPE R: TRE OPZIONI DI GUIDA— Sul piano del comfort, inoltre, ecco l’introduzione del controllo acustico attivo che caratterizza l’impostazione manuale della modalità di guida, calibrando il sound del motore quando si viaggia in modalità Sport o +R (la più estrema e adatta alla guida in pista, grazie a una mappatura della coppia più aggressiva anche ai regimi inferiori e uno sterzo più diretto e meno morbido) e riducendo i decibel in marcia Comfort. Tutte le versioni di Type R sfoggiano prese d’aria più ampie e una griglia anteriore più sottile rispetto alla precedente generazione; all’anteriore non passa inosservato lo splitter “alato” in fibra di carbonio, il logo “H” in colore rosso e il cofano in alluminio leggero con condotto dell’aria al centro. L’ALLESTIMENTO ESTREMO: LIMITED EDITION— Con il 2020 ecco la più estrema Honda Civic mai realizzata, la Limited Edition, che sfrutta nuovi componenti leggeri e interni miminali per ottenere una riduzione del peso pari a 47 chilogrammi (rispetto alla “sorella” in versione Standard). Il peso a vuoto è pari a chilogrammi. L’identikit di questa versione? Oltre alla colorazione esclusiva in giallo luce solare abbinata al tetto cromato nero del medesimo colore degli specchietti, ecco cerchi Bbs da 20 pollici e gomme Michelin Cup 2. L’ALLESTIMENTO SPORT LINE— La Civic Type R Sport Line, caratterizzata da linee più sobrie e urbane, sfoggia un grande spoiler posteriore ribassato (rispetto a quello della Limited Edition che invece rappresenta un’autentica ala rialzata) ed è dotata di un pianale ribassato; le fiancate mettono in mostra cerchi in lega specifici da 19 pollici abbinati a gomme Michelin Pilot Sports 4S e gli interni sono in tessuto nero. Una linea grigio-argentata corre lungo il bordo inferiore della carrozzeria mentre la gamma cromatica della livrea comprende la nuova tonalità blu racing. HONDA CIVIC TYPE R: IL SOUND— Sulla nuova Honda Civic Type R non passa inosservato lo scarico con tre terminali cromati al centro del diffusore posteriore. Estetica o sostanza? Entrambe, considerato che lo scarico così fatto è funzionale all’ottenimento di un suono inconfondibile, “raffinato” dal controllo acustico attivo (Asc) con impostazioni specifiche per ciascuna delle tre modalità di guida: Sport, +R e Comfort. I due condotti laterali, infatti, convogliano verso l’uscita il flusso di scarico, mentre il condotto al centro - di dimensioni inferiori - controlla il sound del motore turbo benzina. Rispetto alla Type R del 2015, il condotto centrale si trasforma in ulteriore scarico quando si vuole generare un rombo più “pieno” e aggressivo. TYPE R: L’UTILIZZO QUOTIDIANO— Pur possedendo un’anima estrema e sportiva, Honda Civic rimane una berlina adatta (con le debite accortezze) all’utilizzo quotidiano, specialmente selezionando la modalità di guida Comfort. Lunga 4,557 metri per 1,877 in larghezza (esclusi specchietti) e 1,434 metri in altezza, sulla Civic Type R il bagagliaio ha capienza di 420 litri e la seconda fila di sedili è frazionabile nel rapporto 60:40. Uno schermo da 7 pollici è l’interfaccia del sistema d’infotainment e navigazione Honda Connect. I sistemi di assistenza alla guida (di serie) includono il cruise control adattivo e il riconoscimento della segnaletica stradale, il mantenimento della corsia e l’avviso di collisione frontale. Gli allestimenti Type R e Sport Line includono il monitoraggio dell’angolo cieco, il climatizzatore bi-zona, il tappetino per la ricarica wireless degli smartphone (mentre per risparmiare chili la Limited Edition è priva sia di infotainment sia di climatizzatore). I consumi? Pari a 8,4 litri ogni 100 chilometri nel ciclo combinato (Limited Edition) e le emissioni di CO2 sull’allestimento più sportivo di 191 g/km. 12 agosto 2020 (modifica il 12 agosto 2020 | 13:16) © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA

2.0-Litre Turbocharged VTEC ® Engine. At the core of the Civic Type R is a heart-stopping, direct-injected 2.0-litre, 16 valve VTEC ® turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces a jaw-dropping 315 horsepower * and 310 lb.-ft. of torque *. While the 2020 Civic Type R is already a terrific hot hatch, Honda gave it one last tweak before the 2022 redesign. It’s the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition, and it’s already sold out in Canada. Naturally, given the Type R’s tunability, some may want to make a homebrewed version of the LE. However, that won’t really be possible. What’s the difference between the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition and the ‘regular’ model? 2020 Honda Civic Type R rear | Matthew Skwarczek The 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition doesn’t make more power than the ‘normal’ car, Roadshow reports. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine still makes 306 hp and 295 lb-ft. Plus, the LE has the same Brembo front brakes, limited-slip differential, and 6-speed manual as the regular Civic Type R. The two hot hatches even have the same adaptive suspension hardware. However, it’s at this point where the two cars start to split. 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition overhead front | Honda The 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is 50 pounds lighter than the standard model, Car and Driver reports. That’s thanks to less sound insulation, no rear wiper, no rear heater ducts, and no rear cargo cover. The LE’s forged BBS wheels are the same size as the standard ones, but they’re each pounds lighter. The new tires, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s, are also lighter, and even grippier. Not all the Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition upgrades are mechanical, though. The LE’s steering and suspension software have also been retuned, Motor1 reports. Why can’t you recreate the Limited Edition using the standard 2021 Honda Civic Type R? At first glance, the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition’s changes seem relatively simple to copy. 2020 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R | Ford RELATED: How the Acura Integra Started the Type R Legend Although BBS has filed for bankruptcy, the company is still making wheels. And the Michelin tires aren’t Type R-specific; the outgoing Shelby Mustang GT350R and several Porsche 911s use them, Car and Driver reports. And while removing sound-deadening can be an involved process, taking off parts is still taking off parts. RELATED: Watch the Latest Honda Civic Type R Face Its Predecessor However, there’s one thing regular Civic Type R owners can’t do, MotorTrend reports. Although removing unsprung weight is fairly straightforward, you can’t change the adaptive suspension and steering software to compensate. Honda did so in the LE, but it won’t be offering those tweaks to other CTR owners. You can get close to the LE’s mechanics, but it won’t be possible to 100% remake it with a regular Civic Type R. Is the LE worth the upcharge? The regular 2021 Honda Civic Type R starts at $37,495. Only 600 Limited Editions are headed to the US, and they retail for $43,995. However, Honda is raffling off the #1 car to benefit the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. But are the modifications worth the extra dough? RELATED: What Does ‘Quick Steering’ Really Mean? On the street, the differences are subtle, Motor1 reports. But on the track, it’s a different story. The reduced unsprung weight means the Civic Type R LE turns in better, the steering feels quicker, and accelerates harder, Autoblog reports. And speaking of steering, the LE’s steering development lead engineer used the original NSX Type R as a benchmark, Automobile reports. These differences add up to faster lap times. Enough so the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition lapped the Suzuka circuit faster than the Ferrari F40 supercar. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Honda hasn’t been able to lay down an official Nürburgring time with the LE, Car and Driver reports. But in all likelihood, it will be faster than the regular Type R, which holds a 7:43 time. RELATED: For Motor Trend, 2020 Honda Civic Type R vs. 2021 Toyota Supra Is an Easy Choice However, will those who miss out on the Honda Civic Type R LE be disappointed with the regular version? Unless you’re a dedicated racer, not really, Roadshow reports. The standard Civic Type R feels special on the street, and it’s “a downright magical circuit weapon,” Autoblog reports. But for future fans, the CTR LE will likely be a limited-edition model worth pursuing. Follow more updates from MotorBiscuit on our Facebook page. Honda Civic Type R (M) PHP 2,850,000.

Developed with track performance as its core focus, the new Civic Type R Limited Edition has been designed and engineered to be the most dynamic front wheel drive hatchback available. With new lightweight components and a stripped-back, driver-focused interior, this is the most extreme version of the iconic Civic Type R ever made. Just 100 will be built for Europe, featuring lightweight flow-formed 20” forged BBS alloy wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tyres, which are designed for high-speed track driving but still deliver exceptional on-road performance. Modified dampers optimise this new wheel and tyre combination and recalibration of the EPAS offers maximum control and feedback. To reflect its extrovert nature, an exclusive new colour, ‘Sunlight Yellow’, is introduced for the Civic Type R Limited Edition, along with a dark chrome Civic badge on the back. With the addition of contrasting gloss black paint on the roof, wing mirrors and intake vent on the bonnet, the bold colour scheme reflects Honda’s sporting heritage and ensures the Limited Edition stands out as a unique proposition in the performance hatchback segment. The Civic Type R Limited Edition’s interior echoes Honda’s sporting bloodline: featuring the iconic red bucket seats and red Alcantara steering wheel complemented by the teardrop gear knob. Each model features a plaque marking the build number of the car. Continuing its track-focused nature, the infotainment and air conditioning systems are omitted to save weight. Additional weight is saved by reducing sound-deadening materials in the roof, rear hatch panel, front bumper and dashboard. The Limited-Edition Type-R is 47kg lighter than a Type R in GT specification. Unlike other brands’ track-focused performance hatchbacks, the Limited Edition retains its rear seats and the everyday usability for which the Civic is renowned. The new Limited-Edition model retains the Type R’s powerful VTEC Turbo engine. Peak power output is 320PS at 6,500rpm and peak torque is 400Nm from 2,500rpm to 4,500rpm. 0-62mph is achieved in seconds.

Three years after its debut, the latest Honda Civic Type R comes to dealers at the end of the month with a midcycle refresh. No one individual change to the 2020 Type R is major, but put together they might prove to add up to something significant. Starting with visuals, Honda tweaked the front and rear bumpers with new body coloring bits and restyled fog-light surrounds and new mesh, things of that important, Honda redesigned the grille with a 13% larger opening to allow more cooling air into an also reworked radiator core. The combined change reduces engine coolant 18 degrees in testing, making the turbocharged engine, still with 306 peak hp, more robust for rigorous track use without triggering a power-sapping protective engine mode. This change improved cooling but reduced front axle downforce, so engineers increased the depth of the front splitter and added rib sections on either side to bring downforce back to 2017 model year levels. To better ride and handling, Honda improved the adaptive damper system to read road conditions 10 times faster than before, in turn improving the quality of the data for the dampers to respond. The 2020 Type R also has 8% stiffer bushings on the rear suspension's lower arms, improving cornering too, got a once-over. Honda swapped the one-piece front brake rotors for two-piece rotors, reducing brake disc deformation and improving feel. Additionally, more fade-resistant brake pads are used. Those combined changes reduce “brake pedal play” approximately 17%. The driver feels that difference as less brake pedal travel and force needed before getting desired deceleration—according to Honda, significantly so. New two-piece front rotors are part of the 2020 Civic Type North America Feel improvements come to the interior, as well, in the form of an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and a redesigned, and weighted, shift knob. Honda claims the approximately 3-ounce counterweight in the shifter improves both shifting feel and accuracy. While driving you might also notice a difference in engine sound, thanks to an Active Sound Control system working through the speakers. That one is clearly a subjective change, but some claim it makes it easier to know when it’s time to shift on a racetrack “by ear”—if true, that might be an objective improvement, as well. Faux suede on the steering wheel rim and a weighted shift knob are part of the changes to the 2020 Honda Civic Type North America And, since you’re on-track, might as well use Honda’s new LogR, a data logger smartphone (both Apple- and Android-based) app connecting to the Type R’s onboard computer and logging a wide variety of pertinent data. When on-track and using the app, the Type R’s 7-inch center console screen displays the “performance monitor,” where the driver can keep an eye on important gauges such as oil temperature and pressure, air-intake temperature and gear position. Or you can look at a G-meter, both lateral and longitudinal; a 3-D visual also shows pitch, roll and yaw. There’s also a log mode, recording lap times, as well as acceleration, braking and cornering forces. In this mode, the app grades your driving with green, yellow and red indicators showing how smoothly you shift, brake, accelerate and steer. And, in the same vein, the app scores your progression over time and can even judge your performance against a pro driver on the same track. Neat. All this might seem very track focused, because it largely is. But Civic Type R project leader Hideki Kakinuma sees it slightly differently: “Our intention is not to go in a specific direction, whether that’s racetrack usage or daily usage, we wanted to expand the whole circle on the radar chart.” Meaning, Honda wanted to improve the car in all aspects and thus expand its use in all that end, there’s the less neat, but equally important, inclusion of Honda Sensing on the 2020 Type R, the same battery of advanced safety systems such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assistance on just about every new Honda today. The rest of the car remains the same—no major changes to the body, chassis or powertrain. With a $37,950 base price, thankfully that change is minor, as well. But for the very track-focused among us, Honda also unveiled the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition. Only 1,000 will be built, with 600 bound.

Ever since the Honda Civic Type R made its appearance for the first time ever in the U.S. back in 2017, it has rapidly emerged as one of the best performance cars currently on sale. Honda is very keen on maintaining this reputation, and has unveiled a special track centric version of the Type R for those that need a bit more poise and confidence in their performance sedan purchase. Known as

In 2017, Honda claimed the title for fastest lap from a front-wheel-drive at Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack with the Civic Type R, setting a record time of seven minutes and seconds. Unfortunately for the Japanese automaker, the record was subsequently broken by French company Renault with its Megan RS Trophy-R, completing the lap a full four seconds faster. Now, in the hopes of reclaiming this title, Honda has reworked the Civic, bringing out a limited edition version — which will also be available for the US consumer market — to challenge the legendary track once again. Based on the updated 2020 Type R, the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition unfortunately does not produce more power, as its equipped with the same turbo-four engine, which pushes out 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. However, the Japanese automaker managed to make improvements elsewhere, such as a recalibrated steering system, dampers specially tuned for the car, and upgraded Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. It’s also made lighter than its predecessor by reducing the weight of its wheels, sound-proofing materials, and the outright removal of various unnecessary components. The US model will weigh 46 pounds lighter than the original Type R, while the European version will be another 30 pounds lighter than its American counterpart due to the further removal of parts like its audio system or air-conditioning. As for availability, Honda will be producing a total of 1,000 units of the Limited Edition Type R, with 600 heading Stateside, 200 for domestic release in Japan, 100 for Europe, and another 100 for Canada. All of them will be dressed in a racing-ready Phoenix Yellow, with a release date some time this summer. Official pricing information will be announced closer to its release date. Elsewhere in the automotive world, Lotus has offered a closer look at its production-ready Evija electric hypercar.

They will probably just continue make them when it’s 11th or 12th gen civic anyways. Then how will you really feel about your limited Edition Type R seeing as some people who have the 2019 talking about trading or selling to get their hands on 2021 track edition that will probably never see a track.

As part of the slow march towards finally being done with 2020, manufacturers and dealers are beginning to replace this year's cars with 2021 models. And in the case of the 2021 Honda Civic Type R, this means a new special edition model to further tempt you into plunking down some serious cash for today's hottest hot the regular 2021 Type R appears to be identical to this year's model, Honda's pocket rocket now gets a slightly lighter, very yellow Limited Edition version. Painted in eye-catching Phoenix Yellow, as if the CTR wasn't attention-grabbing enough already, this Limited Edition will also rock a black roof, black mirror caps, a black hood vent, and a darker chrome "Civic" badge on the forged-aluminum BBS wheels—unsurprisingly also finished in black—cut 18 pounds of unsprung weight and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Both the Type R LE's adaptive dampers and electric steering have been reprogrammed to match this lighter-and-stickier setup. What's more, Honda has ripped 28 pounds of sound deadening out from this car, resulting in a curb weight 46 pounds leaner than the standard macho Civic. Taken off the bathroom scale, the Limited Edition Civic Type R officially lapped Honda's own Suzuka Circuit in Japan quicker than a Ferrari F40 as well as every other front-wheel-drive car to ever visit the track, turning in a lap of 2: HondaWhile the regular 2021 Honda Civic Type R is arriving at dealers now for $38,450, the Limited Edition is coming later this month and will sport an MSRP of $44,950. Given the fact that those Cup 2 tires alone retail for about $1,500, honestly isn't all that bad of a deal...assuming you can get your hands on a tip? Send us a note: tips@

It seems like only yesterday that the Honda Civic Type R arrived with great fanfare to shores in 2017. That’s probably because we had waited so long – 20 years since the original Civic Type R’s introduction in 1997 – for the hi-po Honda to come stateside. But the current Type R is based on the 10th-generation Civic, and with the 11th generation already previewed, its days are numbered. So, Honda’s sending it off with a bang in the form of the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition. One thing’s for certain, there’ll be no mistaking this special edition for anything else. It’s yellow, you may have noticed. The exact hue is Phoenix Yellow, one of the hero colors of the 1997 Civic Type R and one with great nostalgic value to hard-core Honda fans. It’s also got a blacked-out roof and hood scoop, but this limited edition is more than just an appearance package. Somehow, Honda has managed to squeeze even more heat out of an already spicy ghost pepper. The standard-issue Type R is a joy to drive – if you can call a front-drive, Nürburgring-record-breaker "standard." With 306 horsepower and instantaneous direction-changing ability, it zips through pods of rambling SUVs like they’re standing still. Its 295 pound-feet of peak torque kicks in at a mere 2,500 rpm, so you never have to hunt for the right gear. Of course, you may want to change gears anyway just to revel in the shifter’s bolt-action precision and the weight of its aluminum shift knob. The clutch isn’t too soft, like many modern third pedals dumbed-down for the stall-prone, providing just enough pedal travel and resistance to modulate well. The Civic Type R’s true calling, however, is the track. And remember, we're still talking about the regular, unlimited version here. Dial up the +R drive mode to put the adaptive suspension in its firmest setting and it’ll corner flatter than a week-old soda. Even after repeated stomping on the brake pedal, the four-pot Brembos consistently yank the car to a halt like the Millennium Falcon coming out of hyperspace. Throttle response evinces no turbo lag, just accelerative force that churns all the way to redline. Wheelspin is banished by a helical limited-slip differential. There’s no torque steer either, thanks to dual-axis struts. In fact, the Civic Type R doesn’t behave like a front-wheel-drive car at all. Its most amazing engineering feat is that even when you go into a corner hot, even if you break traction, it doesn’t understeer. So, we’ve established that the Civic Type R is a downright magical circuit weapon. The Limited Edition takes all that and adds lightness. Honda shaved nearly 50 pounds from the regular Type R’s curb weight by deleting things such as sound deadening, the rear parcel shelf, and the rear wiper. That might not seem like a lot when you’re talking about a 3,121-pound car, but we noticed a marked difference when driving the cars back to back at the Thermal Club track outside Palm Springs, Calif. That’s because a bunch of the weight savings also comes from 20-inch BBS forged alloy wheels and exclusive Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which discard 22 pounds of unsprung weight while adding grip. Suddenly, acceleration felt as if the torque curve had shifted left by about 800 rpm. The steering got quicker, and turn-in arrived sooner. In fact, steering development lead engineer Norimasa Arai benchmarked another Type R special, the Japan-market NSX-R, for steering feel. As a result, we easily added a couple of mph to each turn, and in racing those incremental gains are everything. Honda has already confirmed that the 11th-generation Civic will have a Type R variant. Since this Limited Edition is both the pinnacle and swan song of the current-gen Type R, we should take a moment to reflect on what it means to wear the Type R badge. The original Civic Type R is still a quintessential example of Honda engineering. It generated an astounding 182 hp from a high-revving naturally aspirated engine. Its peak power and 118 lb-ft of torque arrived near its 8,400-rpm redline, but there was something outrageously satisfying about winding up those old Honda motors to keep the momentum going. The current car charges so angrily that it’s almost too easy to drive fast, and that takes away some of the magic – though it does replace it with a different type of powerful sorcery. Then there’s the aesthetics. The original Type R was barely distinguishable from a regular Civic, and there was something wonderfully subtle (and tasteful) about that. Now, everyone knows you’re coming. The massive wing, plethora of faux vents and sheetmetal creases are too loud. It’s also literally loud, whether from its weird triple exhaust (well, dual exhaust plus a central resonator) that signals to the whole neighborhood that you’re coming ‘round the corner, or from the fake engine sounds piped into the cabin through the speakers. There’s a purity, a distillation of the driving experience that has given way to flashiness and fury. We know turbo engines are here to stay, and that the current car will run rings around its great-great-grandfather. The Limited Edition has already set a new front-drive record at Honda’s own Suzuka Circuit. For the successor, we’d like to see a version that continues with the incredible defiance of the laws of physics, but without the visual and auditory brashness of the current model. There will only be 600 Civic Type R Limited Editions sold in the United States. Each one will be affixed with a plaque denoting its production order. We think that there will be enough buyers who respect the marque to drop $43,995, or $6,500 more on top of the base Type R, on a Phoenix Yellow tribute to one of the all-time greats. Hopefully, the next one will strike a balance between then and now to be even greater. Related Video:

The new 2023 Honda Civic Type R will cost $72,600 previous-generation $70,000 drive-away Civic Type R Limited Edition becoming a regular contributing journalist within the news team in 2020.

Honda Civic Full OverviewTHERMAL, California—When the Automobile staff chose the then-new Honda Civic Type R as one of the winners of our 2018 All-Stars competition—our annual showdown to determine the year's best-of-the-best new vehicles—the result was no surprise. We'd already driven the Type R a fair amount as Honda rolled it into the world, and its performance left no doubt it was one of the best front-wheel-drive performance cars of all time. But we still weren't necessarily prepared for just how well both the marketplace and our staff would receive it: Of the 26 vehicles that participated in our 2018 All-Stars testing, the Civic Type R was the only one that landed toward the top on every one of our judges' unanimous victory, in other words. And despite the presence of plenty of other dedicated sports cars and supercars during our track testing, at least one of those judges proclaimed the Civic Type R "hands-down the No. 1 All-Star at this contest." With that level of capability and enthusiasm as the baseline, it's natural to wonder if the new 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is worth its $6,500-premium squeeze versus the standard Touring model's starting price of $38, Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition: What You GetHonda last year made several changes to the 2020 Civic Type R, including a new, larger grille design and a modified radiator core. Those changes were motivated by a clear need to improve cooling, as some people who ran earlier Type Rs hard on racetracks experienced heat-soak on hot days that led to the car fizzling into power loss on successive laps. (Honda believes the grille and radiator updates have addressed the problem, though we'll have to wait until we can test the latest cars on a scorching day to see for ourselves.) Other changes included a revised front spoiler, a weighted shifter knob, an Alcantara steering wheel, and, despite the Type R's already excellent adaptive suspension setup, new suspension hardware and those latter changes were stiffer bushings and lower-friction ball joints up front; stiffer rear lower B-arm bushings for better toe-in behavior under cornering load; and revised dynamics for the adaptive dampers that Honda says now take "samples of road conditions 10-times quicker than before [for] more accurate damper reactions" and sharper handling. Finally, better Brembo front brakes capped-off the new package, as Honda added two-piece floating discs, pads with better heat-resistance, and reduced brake-pedal travel. Overall, Honda said the brake-system changes reduced unsprung weight by about pounds per front 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition takes last year's standard changes and builds upon them. Or rather, deletes upon them by cutting even more weight from the chassis and wheel/tire package. The Limited Edition carries a curb weight of 3,071 pounds, or 50 pounds lighter than standard Type R Touring models. That doesn't sound like a heck of a lot, but it's from where the CTR LE drops the poundage that makes a noticeable BBS wheels reduce total unspring weight by 18 pounds, Honda says, and the stickier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires save a pound each compared to the Continental rubber more commonly found on other Type Rs. The CTR team slashed another 28 pounds from the car itself by dumping a fair amount of sound-deadening material, and by deleting the cargo cover, rear ventilation ducts, and the rear-window wiper Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition: And So What?Considering the fact Automobile put 17,000 miles on our long-term 2017 Civic Type R, and that Honda loaned us a 2020 TCR Touring model for a few days prior to driving the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition, we arrived at the Thermal Club racetrack near Palm Springs, California, well-positioned to test the latest a couple of sessions spent chasing ex-IndyCar and Formula 1 driver Roberto Guerrero around Thermal's South Palm circuit while driving the Touring model, we jumped into the Civic Type R Limited Edition to do the same. The difference between the cars was obvious immediately; the paltry 50-pound reduction suddenly didn't seem insignificant, and it was a stark reminder of why race teams chase weight savings in ounces, let alone pounds. Try this exercise to make the point: Pick up a 50-pound cast-iron ball and imagine it travelling at 115 mph. Think about the mass and rotational inertia at play, about the extra work required to accelerate it, to slow it down, and to make it turn, and you realize it is no small that description is too abstract, that's OK; you can easily feel the difference when driving the car hard. The Civic Type R is a well-established corner-carver extraordinaire, and the Limited Edition's reduced unsprung weight led Honda engineers to again revise the suspension via its adaptive-damper programming. The lighter wheel/tire combination means the suspension now provides a more compliant street ride while also resulting in better on-track performance. The whole package means the car is now even easier to rotate into apexes, allowing you to get back on the power a bit better than before. The corner-entry part is often a "feel" thing; you can tell, visually and by the seat of your pants, you're carrying more speed into corners. But tangible evidence of it, and of being able to apply power a fraction sooner as result, isn't far the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition and Touring models share the same six-speed manual gearbox and gear ratios, powered by the same engine as the Touring—Honda's turbocharged four-cylinder making 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque—we found ourselves easily needing to grab fifth gear on the track's two straightaways. In the Touring, we just needed to throw that final upshift for a brief spell in fifth before arriving to the braking zones. We climbed from the Touring's cockpit with a smile; we unbuckled from the Limited Edition with an obvious not all about lap times here, either. Honda's engineers said they spent a lot of time refining the Limited Edition's electronic steering to feel more linear and to provide more feedback (while retaining the same actual steering ratio as the Touring), going so far as to set the NSX-R as their benchmark. We'd have to test the Civic and old NSX back-to-back before we even considered proclaiming them a match in that sense, but there's no doubt the new tuning feels slightly sharper and more positive than before. If nothing else, it ups the whole experience's fun and satisfaction factor without making the car any more challenging to drive Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition: Odds and EndsIn other words, the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition really is something more than a unique paint job, though of course it comes with that as well. Each of the examples Honda will sell (600 in the with another 420 built for other markets) arrives in Phoenix Yellow—similar to the yellow hue Honda used on the first-gen, late-'90s Civic Type R sold in Europe and Japan, and the Acura Integra Type R sold in a gloss black roof, hood scoop, and exterior you haven't already placed your order, you'll likely find a challenge in obtaining a Civic Type R Limited Edition from a dealer. With a total of 600 units headed to sales floors—for perspective, Honda has somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 dealers—and deliveries having already begun in early September, you'll need to be resourceful to hunt down an open allocation. If you do manage to find one, expect to pay an elevated price; even regular Civic Type Rs still command, in some regions, thousands of dollars more than the Honda MSRP. The good news is, owners of these cars who treat them well should be happy with what is sure to be slow, if any, upfront depreciation. Overwhelming demand for—and the potential collectability of—limited-edition cars carrying the "R" badge makes this prediction a safe price buyers end up paying, it's hard to imagine them finding much disappointment in their purchase. The 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is the quickest, most nimble, most fun Type R model yet, and that's saying a lot. The regular Type R boasts an outstanding Nürburgring lap time of 7 minutes, seconds, a number that not long ago was supercar territory, and the new model will be even quicker around the Nordschleife. (Honda has tested it for more than 2,400 miles at the 'Ring, but hasn't yet released an official lap time.) No, we're not suggesting the CTR Limited Edition delivers quite the same overall thrills as a six-figure exotic, but it is absolutely one super good!
