About the Honda civic type r

The Honda Civic Type R is a series of hot hatchback and sports sedan models based on the Civic, developed and produced by Honda since September 1997. The first Civic Type R was the third model to receive Honda's Type R badge. Type R versions of the Civic typically feature a lightened and stiffened body, a specially tuned engine, and upgraded brakes and chassis, and are offered only in five- or six-speed manual transmission. The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. Like other Type R models, red is used in the background of the Honda badge to distinguish it from other models.
