The front face of this Civic is no different story. It has headlights with DRL (daytime running light) that shows a new look for the Honda Civic and a front spoiler accented with stripes.

Engine Of Civic Type R
Under the hood, there is a high revving 2.0 liter turbo charged engine which aims to provide at least 270 horsepower up to 320hp along with 400Nm of torque. Avid car fans would probably find it surprising why Honda did not rely on their usual VTEC engine. However, the improvement made by Honda would increase the efficiency of the new Civic Type R and will surely increase the satisfaction of soon to be drivers of this car. In fact, it was able to achieve a 0-100kph speed in about 6 to 7 seconds allowing it to gain the title of fastest front-wheel drive vehicle that has ever raced in Nurburgring.
Also, it was able to provide a gas consumption of up to 40 miles per gallon which is almost a 30% increase in fuel economy compared to the previous type R which consumes around 31 miles per gallon. It also complies with the latest euro 6 emission regulations. Improved suspension is expected for the upcoming type R variant to be able to provide smooth and easy handling. A six speed manual is expected to be its standard transmission to allow people to enjoy the sporty-feel of the vehicle. Of course, an automatic variant is also expected to be released.

Just what I wanted a 50,000 civic
They must be pulling that price out of no where, they wont release a front wheel drive car for more than 35k, no matter how good it is. No one will buy it.
Now, if it were all wheel drive and came in a 4 door, we might see over 40k price.
Brandon,
The Mugen RR Civic costed around $50,000 and sold out in under ten minutes, it had plenty of power but lackluster tq numbers, so bad it was just plain sad!
I will be standing in-line like waiting for a new iPhone for this Type-R as will most every other Civic hater, because much like Honda’s great K20, K24, F20C, and F22C engines, this car is coming with a massive powerhouse not yet seen from Honda, and I promise you this, people will NOT stop talking about this car! Furthermore, people who once hated the Civic will become proud owners!
That’s right, Honda gogo
$50,000 Civic will be only sold to those that will overspend for a unique concept. A Civis is not worth $50K – and by pricing the model to this extreme they will lose thousands of consumers that likely would be will to pay a more reasonable value.
So now the question is other solid vehicles are there for $35K or so – and the list is tremendous. STUPID decision Honda (btw I own several other Hondas)
Agreed. How about a two year old S4, or a 4 or 5 year old 911C4? I mean, I’d love to have that Civic, but not at that price.
A 45k-55k thousand dollar civic, no thanks. 35k-37 get’s you a AWD Focus with 350hp and 350lbs of torque. Camaro SS 35K, Mustang GT 35K and more. LOL.
