Wild at heart
Advanced dynamics for superior sports handling
Raw power from a refined yet high revving 2.0-litre VTEC TURBO engine will trigger all your senses. It's the most extreme, high-performance engine we've ever built for a Type R and it is complemented by three new driving modes: 'Comfort', 'Sport' and a track-focused '+R' mode. They allow you to adapt the Type R's response to different surfaces and conditions - whether on the road or the racetrack.
We're delighted to report that Honda's next-generation Civic Type R has won the coveted What Car? reader award and has been named as the most eagerly anticipated car launch of 2017.
Demonstrating its huge popularity, the Type R took almost half of the votes and clinched the top spot in the poll compiled by What Car? experts and voted for by the readers.
