Honda New 2018 Civic Type R,
has been detailed in a generous new image gallery, as it's getting ready to hit
the assembly lines, in Swindon, UK, this summer.
From their manufacturing facility in Europe's
largest right-hand drive market, the automaker will export it across the
continent, and to other markets across the world, including Japan and, for the
first time ever, North America.
Under the hood, there is a 2.0-liter turbocharged
four-cylinder engine that makes 320 PS and 400 Nm of torque,
married exclusively to a six-speed stick shift . In this configuration, the
2018 Civic Type R needs 5.7 sec to go from rest to 100 km/h, before topping
out at 272 km/h. Average fuel consumption is estimated at 7.7 l/100 km
(31 US mpg / 37 UK mpg), and the hot hatch emits 176 g/km of CO2.
The brand's compact hot
hatch features a sporty body kit that makes it instantly noticeable, compared
to the regular Civics, and it also features an assortment of driver assistance
systems such as blind spot monitoring, cross traffic monitor, and the brand's
suite of active safety technologies.
In the United Kingdom, buyers will have to pay at
least £ 30,995 (US$ 43,878) for the most affordable Civic Type R, while on this
side of the pond, the Civic Type R is expected to cost upwards of US$ 33,900.
