However, Type R has always been Honda’s ultimate expression of our passion for driving excitement, andwelook forward to celebrating its heritage in the weeks and months ahead.”
The Civic Type R first came to prominence in Japan with the sixth generation of the Civic hatchback modelin 1997. Since then, it has spanned a further five generations and many special editions besides, building a dedicated fan base around the world with its long tradition of high-performance inspired by the spirit of racing.
Further demonstrating its dynamic credentials across almost three decades,the Civic Type R has set front wheel drive production benchmarks at several circuits around the world – most notably the NürburgringNordschleife in Germany on several occasions.It has also achieved similar feats at other circuits, including Magny Cours (France), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Hungaroring (Hungary), Estoril (Portugal), Suzuka (Japan), Silverstone (UK), and Mount Panorama Bathurst (Australia).
This on-track success also extended tothe World Touring Car Championship(WTCC) and World Touring Car Cup (WTCR), in addition to other regional series, where the Civic Type R has been a popular choice and delivered drivers’ and team titles.In each case, these series are contested between vehicles based on mass-produced, front-wheel drive models, making them ideally suited to this vehicle’s performance credentials.
