Honda Civic Type R – RevoZport previews new bodykit

The new Honda Civic Type R may already be quite a striking car to look at – what with its assortment of spoilers, vents, diffusers and that enormous rear wing – but that won’t stop tuners from customising it anytime soon. The latest is RevoZport, which has previewed its bodykit for the Japanese hot hatch.

Surprisingly, the Hong Kong-based tuner will be toning the styling down a bit by replacing the aforementioned wing with a small carbon fibre flap atop the tail lights. Not interested in the subtlety? RevoZport will provide a similarly massive rear wing, this time integrated into the tail lights, finally – finally – fulfilling the promise Honda made with the concept.

Elsewhere, the kit is mostly a standard fare aerokit, made from carbon fibre – a more aggressive front splitter, flaps around the front air intakes, front flics, a vented bonnet, new fender vents and carbon side skirts. The huge rear diffuser, however, is said to feature active aero – that’s quite a sophisticated addition for a tuner in our book. Large Klassen iD wheels complete the makeover.

The Honda Civic Type R is powered by a new 2.0 litre direct-injection DOHC VTEC Turbo engine, producing 310 PS at 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm, with a six-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels through a limited-slip differential. Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 269 km/h.
