Type R stands apart from Honda as a whole. As a producer of sports vehicles, Type R appears to be on par with Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini in terms of prestige.

even if it is a little less expensive. It would be crazy for Honda to complete the Type R with the demise of the internal combustion engine.

Its 5.4-second 0-60 mph pace and turbocharged VTEC engine provide it spectacular power delivery.

The Civic Type R challenges you to drive and brings out

the best driver in you when paired with a 6-speed manual transmission with
