This is a track only, racing variant of Civic Type-R for competition only, expected to be available from Spring 2007.

Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, the race Civic features an upgraded engine unit developing well in excess of 200ps and featuring re-profiled camshafts and other internals for competition use, all of which have been tested in the Nurburgring 24 hours Race.

A custom designed 6-speed sequential gearbox has also been developed along with competition brakes, shock absorbers, suspension components and roll cage.The drivetrain is completed by reinforced driveshafts and a state-of-the-art limited slip differential (plate type with adjustable preload). Lightweight carbon-fibre interior parts (door panels, dasboard trims, floor panels).

The car looks good . I like the rims and the red seats . I guess it would be a great car . Any performance figure of the car ? I guess it would be fast since it is kinda light

Robbie · Oct 03, 2006, 2:28 AM

not sure....maybe 250hp to about 300..and it will be light

zeyk · Oct 03, 2006, 3:58 AM

Robbie · Oct 03, 2006, 4:36 AM

its not huge, just slightly bigger, and i really hope that its RWD..

coFFeiN · Oct 03, 2006, 7:16 AM

the new civic type-r, so honda says, will get the old 200hp from the old civic type-r. that would suck if its true and yeah, it will be FWD.

F*cking hell, I like this car, I like it a lot.

The stock one was really aggressive....look at this one.

Lowered, much better rims, stripped out interior, digital rev counter and speedometer and some funky vinyls on the sides.

Nice work.

300HP FWD honda civic N/A....wow...something i've seen a dozen times..

Too bad it's just a plain old UGLY civic...They are SO bulky...Oh well, hopefully it's chassis/platform/ all that crap is all it's cracked up to be in terms of performance and aftermarket performance..
