Honda Civic Type-RR First Pics

Storming Type RR set to be unleashed

Could these be the first official pictures of the Civic Type RR? While officials at Honda are remaining tight-lipped, these images of the car surfaced on the official website of the firm’s tuning partner, Mugen.

The new model should be instantly recognisable, with extra cooling vents in the bonnet, a large rear wing and fresh wheels.

Exact details on the mechanicals remain scarce, but Auto Express can confirm the engine will be a tuned version of the standard Type R’s 2.0 VTEC. This promises 237bhp, so 0-60mph in less than six seconds and a 155mph top speed are likely. Stiff suspension, a sportier bodykit and stripped-out cabin also feature.

A price of £35,000-£40,000 is being hinted at. The Type RR will be aimed at track day fans, and buyers will get huge scope to personalise their car. A retro-fit option for the existing Civic Type R could follow.
