Civic performance has never looked better. The all-new Civic Type R features sleek, aerodynamic styling and a performance-focused cockpit, with enhanced visibility and a track-ready new Driver Information Interface.
Engine and Brake Cooling
A 48% larger grille opening than he previous Civic Type R and a wide, low hood vent help maximize engine cooling while minimizing airflow resistance. Optimized brake ducts help keep front brakes cooler through multiple laps of circuit driving.
Stability
Side underbody spoilers, front fender outlets, and new integrated rear fenders help guide airflow and maintain consistent air pressure around the wheels, for optimal stability in and out of turns.
Downforce
New rear spoiler and diffuser designs, including die-cast aluminum wing stays, help increase downforce and control air resistance.
19-Inch Matte-Black Wheels
Lightweight and highly rigid, the aluminum alloy wheels feature a reverse rim design to enhance stability at high speeds.
Grille
In addition to the Type R symbol and red H-badge that signify the connection to our performance heritage, the new grill features gloss-black accents that coordinate with the rear spoiler and diffuser to carve out a unique identity.
Hatch
The all-resin hatch is 20 percent lighter than a conventional steel hatch, and provides a wide opening for loading your gear into the cargo area.
Visibility
The all-new Civic Type R was built to create wide sightlines and minimize blind spots. The hood, side mirrors, fenders and rear spoiler are all designed to promote visibility and awareness of your vehicle’s position on the track or the road.
Driver Information Interface
With the 4-mode drive system, you can customize the all-digital display to see critical data in your line of sight. In +R mode, an LED shift light above the interface helps you gauge shift points without taking your eyes off the track.
Sport Seats

6-Speed Manual Transmission
For a better balance while breaking into corners, the 6-speed manual transmission features rev-match control, which keeps engine and vehicle speeds in sync during downshifting. A new Civic Type R-exclusive shift link mechanism has shorter throws and makes shifitng even smoother.
Triple-Outlet Exhaust
Whether you’re ripping down a straightaway on the track or cruising through the city, the center-mounted triple-outlet exhaust’s Active Exhaust Valve strikes the perfect chord. Each mode of the 4-mode drive system features its own specially turned exhaust note.
Dual-Axis Front Suspension

Brembo Front Brake Calipers
Renowned for their braking performance and lightweight construction, four-piston Brembo calipers compliment the two-piece front rotors for optimal stopping power.
Limited-Slip Differential
A helical limited-slip differential helps minimize front-wheel slippage for more precise steering when accelerating and cornering.
Electric Power Steering
