NKGarage, a popular Honda tuner and
carbon-fibre specialist in Thailand, has rolled out a sizzling kit for the new
2020 Honda City. This particular model was built based on the range-topping
1.0L VTEC Turbo RS variant, and as you can tell, it looks quite the business.
According to a posting on the company’s
Facebook page, the parts can already be bought, and the breakdown is as
follows. The priciest item on the roster is the front bonnet, which costs
15,000 baht, followed by side skirts at 14,000 baht, front
lip spoiler at 8,900 baht, and vortex generators à la Civic Type R on
the rear windshield for 8,500 baht.
Every item listed is made from
carbon-fibre, but the list doesn’t end there. NKGarage also offers a CF rear
spoiler for 6,500 baht, rear lip spoiler for 6,000 baht, and
side mirror caps for a price of 3,500 baht.
For more dramatic effect, this black City
RS gets additional accessories such as a completely new exhaust system by
JTCtitanium (a known Thai exhaust specialist), Endless braking system, 15-inch
Volk Racing TE37 shod with 195/50 Toyo Proxes R888 R tyres, and a lowered
suspension setup. Of course, the factory front seats are swapped out for a pair
of red Recaro Sportster CS.
Those are as far as the modifications go.
Other mechanical bits are left untouched, or at least for the time being. That
means the City’s 1.0 litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine remains in
its factory tune, producing a healthy 122 PS at 5,500 rpm and 173 Nm of torque
from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. It’s front-wheel drive only, and in Thailand a CVT
gearbox with seven virtual speeds is the only transmission on offer.
