Honda Civic Type-RR First Pics

Storming Type RR set to be unleashed

By Dan Strong

26th June 2009

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.
