The fifth generation Honda Civic Type R has been finally revealed. As usual, it's based on the current Civic hatchback, and does everything to obscure that connection. As in the previous generation, this time too Type R receives a bunch of receivers, bumps and design changes, to differentiate it from other Civics. There are also impressive 19-inch rims, and above all - of course - a massive rear spoiler.
On the inside, the Type R presents a purity for steering wheel enthusiasts, combined with the latest technological requirements.
The hugging seats are striking red, the (manual) gear lever is also striking with a bright metallic finish.
The clock face gets a design and colors suitable for the purpose, and the multimedia system with the large screen also includes telemetry data, lap times and more.

As the continuation of the lineage of the most exciting front-wheel drive cars available, the current generation also keeps a powerful engine in the front.
There is no official figure yet, but it can be expected that the supercharged four cylinders will produce more than 320 hp here. The manual transmission was mentioned, and it will of course have 6 hp that will transfer the power to the front wheels through a limited slip differential. The same familiar recipe.
Honda, in other words, continues to push its beloved Type R deep into the electric age.
As a testament to the improved capability of the new generation, she sent it around the famous Suzuka circuit.
The new generation set a faster time than the end version of the previous generation by 0.8 s.
When will it arrive here and follow the path of the previous Type R?
This is an excellent question.
As of these moments, there is no additional information on the subject.
