• The Honda Civic Type R, the ultimate sport vehicle that features a sporty design that embodies the spirit of challenge, while also prioritizing exceptional speed and balance for an excellent driving experience.

Exterior

• Gloss Black Rear Spoiler: The shape and angle of the spoiler have been meticulously tested to deliver excellent aerodynamic performance. The lightweight aluminum mounting base not only provides a sporty look, but also creates powerful downforce and reduces drag resistance to allow the car to move forward more forcefully.
• Front Fender Outlet: The front fenders are designed with air vents to effectively release pressure to the side.
• Gloss Black Front Spoiler: The edges of the front spoiler, both left and right, are designed to control air flow to further reinforce the downforce. The lower grille's mesh design also helps to pull air to the center and reduces friction.
• Gloss Black Rear Diffuser: The bottom of the rear diffuser is designed with a deep slope downward to the rear wheels to create downforce. The fin shape and position work with stability. The shape of the diffuser close to the wheels also helps reduce pressure in the rear wheel arches.
• Gloss Black Side Sill Garnish: The edge of the side skirts is designed to help control air flow in front of the rear wheels.
• LED headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights
• Rear fog lights
