The 2023 Honda Civic Type R, which will go down in history as the last pure internal combustion version, raises the limits of the previous generation.
The transformation in the electric focus under the hood also brings new dimensions to the automobile driving experience. After the clutch pedal, which we said goodbye to with the automatic transmission, our bond with the brake pedal tends to decrease gradually through regeneration systems. Performance-oriented versions are also saying goodbye to the manufacturers who accelerate the change in their product ranges as a result of emission norms. The 2023 Honda Civic Type R, on the other hand, will be one of the last examples of its kind, where we will find this lost driving experience, which we have been trying to talk about for a while, with all its DNA. The Type R badge, which transitioned to the sixth generation with its development on the new generation Civic, does not give up the manual driving dynamics, which still looks like a diamond with its aluminum cap in the cockpit.

The new Civic Type R, which Honda does not prefer to give detailed performance and numerical data for now, will be at a different point for its enthusiasts, as it will now be available with a pure internal combustion engine for the last time with this generation. While the use of the 2.0-liter machine, which we know from the previous generation, continues under the hood, a picture of better results awaits us with engineering touches. Although Honda does not give numbers, it is insistent that the most powerful Civic Type R ever produced will hit the road. The changes in the engine come to the fore around the turbo. Carrying the brakes up a layer with the increased performance, Honda is also going to improve the heating control in the system. It should be noted that 19-inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire set come as standard in the vehicle.

The cockpit of the Civic Type R welcomes its users with red carpets. We see that red details, which will make you feel at the gala night, are also preferred on the seats. Apart from this, the small touches on the console structure of the new Civic family, which attracts attention, also complete the harmony. Along with the Type R, there are also software changes in the digital driver display and multimedia panel. Users will be greeted with special menus where they can learn the instant status of the vehicle through these screens. Again, the preference of the red background on the screens draws attention. The first track data came from the Honda front for the new Civic Type R, the numbers of which will be announced in the coming days. The time of 2 minutes 23 seconds and 120 seconds, which the brand announced that it achieved in Suzuka, means a new record among front-wheel drive vehicles. We expect the new Type R, which will also be on sale in Turkey, to enter the list next year.
