Honda Australia has announced it will conduct a special lottery draw to determine who will be able to buy the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition. A mere 20 examples of the bright yellow Civic Type R Limited Edition are bound for the Australian market. Of these, 19 will be available for customers, while one, serial number AUS-001, will be used for promotional purposes.
In the months since the hot hatch’s
overseas debut, more than 700 people have registered their interest in the
special model through the Honda Australia website. This has prompted the
automaker to establish a lottery system to determine the 19 lucky buyers.
Interested customers can enter the lottery
between October 1 and October 31 and simply need to complete an entry form and
agree to the terms and conditions of the competition. Those who have already
registered their interest in the car will be contacted directly and invited to
also enter the lottery. The draw will be held in November and winners will be
required to sign a sales contract with a local Honda dealer and place a US$ 5,000
deposit.
The 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited
Edition will be sold locally with a drive away price of AU$70,000 (US$49,302),
roughly AU$12,000 (US$8,451) more than the outgoing 2020 Civic Type R.
Deliveries are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2021.
