“With its aerodynamically optimised silhouette, the Honda CIVIC TYPE R impressively communicates its sporty orientation. It skilfully fulfils the expectations of its driving performance,” said the jury in its assessment of the latest CIVIC TYPE R model. The body with its low front end and streched, fastback silhouette is accentuated at the rear by a spoiler that appears to float, as well as a diffuser. Both communicate not only the capability for high performance, but also functional safety in favour of the aerodynamically necessary downforce at the rear. The lower racing seats are yet another visible and tactile design feature.
