More live photos of the new Honda Civic Type R, this time from the Honda headquarters in Minato, Tokyo, where the car is currently the centrepiece display in the lobby.
The car’s Japanese debut was announced at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show – it’s due to arrive in showrooms in the country beginning December 7, in a limited run of just 750 units for domestic consumption. As mentioned in our readier report, the Civic Type R retails in Japan for 4,280,000 yen (RM152,178).
The automaker has said that potential buyers have until November 23 to submit their order entries to Honda Japan’s website, and should demand exceed the allocation, successful entries will be determined by lot.
No changes in specs from the Euro-spec model – the JDM Civic Type R’s 2.0 litre direct-injection DOHC VTEC Turbo engine has 310 PS and 400 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm, with a six-speed manual transmission in tow. Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 269 km/h.
Sitting on 19-inch wheels wrapped with specially-developed 235/35 Continental tyres, the Civic Type R features a racy cabin trimmed in a combination of black and pletny of red accents. The aggressive front bucket seats feature a black suede-like fabric material and contrasting red stitching, while a flat-bottom steering wheel features thinner spokes and a red centre marker.
Also on show at the display are three older heritage models – anoraks will be able to spot the examples as being the 1995 Integra Type R, 1997 Civic Type R and 2002 NSX-R.

that inteerior damn sucks
Compared to Toyota GT86, Honda look better and futuristic
Multi info display is a bargain for New Type R.
Two tiers looks better and more focused driving.
So… Sam Loo, which Toyota interior u admired so much ?
GT86 too simple and expensive, not even audio buttons & cruise control on the steering, lame….
bezz betul Civic ni. Tapi aku punya Proton Preve lagi power. Lepas ku modify, tekan sahaja kat Kesas, semua kalah lumba.
In you silly dreams ah?
I’ve driven most except the NSX Type R, but my vote goes to the Honda Integra DC2 Type R.
DC2 body not rigid enough compared to FD2R & this new FK2
Don’t think this Civic can outrun my VW Golf R :D
LOL. u should bring ur VW for an inspection, just to make sure no C4 bomb was installed in it by the manufacturer.
Golf R , 4WD,DSG .. Too much focused on power (0-100kmh) but not handling,
Around track, Renault Megane better.
This new Type R better.
Wait till tuners got their hands on this car.
Japs tuning always better,reliable & cost effective, for ex. R35 ;)
Now all other hot-hatch have to stand aside. Please stop comparing Honda with VW…Im sick of it. Why would u compare a decent legendary iconic sport car to a CHEATER?
Volkwagen some sort of rm26bil company
Like seriously RM153K, soon sings ppl will flooded jb with this car meanwhile msian are watering saliva for just afford to see.. huhu i want one…
A limited run of just 750 units for domestic consumption?
