Discover the 2021 Honda Civic Type R

Although it was just last January at the Tokyo Auto Show in Japan that Honda presented the all-new 2020 Honda Civic Type R, the Japanese automaker is already announcing a new edition of the 2021 Civic Type R, which is claimed to be faster, lighter and more devilish. It's recognizable thanks to its exclusive Phoenix Yellow colour, which is anything but subtle, its BBS forged-aluminum wheels, its gloss black roof, in stunning contrast with the body, as well as the intake vent on the hood, the mirrors and the badge on the rear hatch, all in dark black chrome.

The VTEC 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and the 6-speed manual transmission should be back, fortunately for us. The specially tuned dampers have been revised for optimal handling and the steering has been recalibrated to give you better control. In order to lighten its weight, the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition gets new soundproofing materials, and the luggage compartment cover, the heating ducts and the rear windshield wiper were also eliminated, which reduces its weight by 28 pounds.

With red and black suede-effect fabric sport seats with side bolsters and double stitching, an aluminum shift knob with suede shift boot, textured aluminum sport pedals, a premium audio system with 12 speakers and 542 watts of power, including a subwoofer, dual-zone automatic climate control, Voice Recognition, automatic Speed-sensitive Volume Control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Siri Eyes Free and Bluetooth, every moment in the 2021 Type R Limited Edition will be a unique and exhilarating experience.

Since only 100 copies of the 2021 Type R Limited Edition will be available in Canada, good luck getting yours! To learn more about this little bombshell, come and see us at your Spinelli Honda dealership in Montreal. As it approaches its release date, we should know the prices of the 2021 Type R.
