Honda Civic Type R Modulo Kit

Honda Civic Type R Modulo

Believe it or not, this overly busy looking ricey design is a kit from Modulo! Set to debut at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon, Honda has stripped the Civic Type-R Modulo down even more, with the entire interior replaced with carbon fiber wherever possible. Even the power window switches have been moved to the center area because the door panel has been replaced with a simple carbon fiber panel.

The famous double-tiered dashboard has been redesigned, with the rev counter now on the top deck and the speedo on the lower deck – basically they’ve swapped positions to suit a race track environment.

No other technical details on the car are available at the moment, but these product photos seem to reveal electronically adjustable dampers of which status is shown in an LCD display where the normal 2-DIN head unit is.

More photos after the jump.

    Oh my god…

    The interior is so beautiful, taking the hardcore racing interior theme to the extreme!

    I love it!

    Hmmm, is it sequential or normal manual gearshift……..???
    Is it available in Malaysia???
    I am sick of manual gearshift, sequential / semi auto will be my choice before buying into a new car…….

    how come there is no CF hood and bonnet? but hydropneumatic suspension is simply fabulous.

    In addition to that:
    1. Remove the roof and replace it with CF roof
    2. Remove the spoiler and replace it with CF spoiler
    3. Remove the side mirrors and replace it with CF side mirrors

    I think we can remove some 20-30kgs off the cub weight.

    cant wait for the full specification… dont really like the interior though..
    maybe it’s just me.. but the front grill has some kind of “wau”-ish sense on it.. hehe

    rice outside, race inside.
    eventhough it is official modulo kit, i wonder, who approve the exterior design to be official design. damn beng…..
    the inside is totally marvelous. i think this is better than ferrari. some how i like the mixture of yellow composite on this CF rather than dark grey or black color.

    This car is specially built for Tokyo Auto Salon…for show-off only. Though is a Modulo version, it’ll never made it to the market. Remember the red Civic Modulo in KLIMS 06? That one was from Tokyo Auto Salon also…

    yuck!!!! didn’t like that front bumper, prefer the previous original type -R. but the meter display is just something, it’s amazing. feel like a jet fighter.

    damn lordy… this is a track monster… wat a beauty…

    but the interior is better better looking than the exterior( in my opinion… it’s subjective)

    but i prefer Mugen civic RR bodykit (subjective)

    i want those e adjustable dampers!!!! can make the type-r comfy to drive around town and super hard when u’re gunning it! brilliant!

    I doubt Type-R can be comfy or plush. It will always hard ride characteristic. BTW, very nice interior but dislike rear light cluster. Too ah beng?

    Actually, this is an overcrowded bodykit for the Civic. just look at the Ah Beng’s tailgate. The interior on the other hand is quite nice and suit the racing theme. Damn nice interior. Even the whatever meters are integrated at the centre console.

    I don’t like the wheel covers – I love to see bright red Brembo callipers.

    Yes I agree the decals (stickers) should go. Other than that, the styling is not bad.

    Interior abit overkill but I really like the steering wheel!!

  31. kington said,

    January 8, 2008 @ 8:24 am

    I agree with some, the exterior is just too Ah Beng-ish ugly..

    The interior is very raced focussed, much like the 430 Fiorano…. nice but not simple enough.. i mean, race models should keep things to a minimal, not overshouting here and there…

    January 8, 2008 @ 8:49 am

    its too over the top for me…

  34. I my said,

    January 8, 2008 @ 11:29 am

    WOW!! the interior is like a jet fighter…. sure like to get 1 of this for SIC run.

    January 8, 2008 @ 7:33 pm

    fugly decals & tail lights, I’ll bet it looks nicer with just the bodykit minus the decals and tail lights. The interior looked too spaceshiply.

    ——————————————
    getting a little bit classy are we….hehe

    this package is shit! they put the pedals onto the aircon vents.
    type r’s color scheme is still better. only mod u need is the adjustable dampers and speedometer and dials mods.

    the design is 2 much
    ricer look
    both interior n exterior
    especially the door trim, sticker, rear light, air-cond vent
    n i doubt the colling effieciency of the brake since the rim design reduce air-flow to cool down the the disc brake n calliper
