Introducing the Honda Civic Type R specials from CMH Honda

With a heritage that stretches back some 30 years, Honda’s Type R models have always been the embodiment of performance and refinement, providing an exhilarating driving experience bar none. This legendary tradition of building cars for the true enthusiast is now being taken to the next level with the introduction of the All-New 2023 Civic Type R, the most powerful Honda production vehicle ever to reach South African shores. "Type R is the pinnacle of Honda performance and enables enthusiasts to experience the brand’s racing spirit, while providing the ultimate in speed and driving pleasure,” said Hideki Kakinuma, global Civic Type R development leader. “The All-New Civic Type R continues this legacy, leveraging Honda’s racetrack-proven engineering to deliver extreme performance and passion." Exhilarating performance The All-New Civic Type R is the sixth iteration of this exciting model, which was first introduced in Japan in 1997. Since then, the Type R has become the epitome of performance excellence and the 2023 model recently set a new track record for front-wheel drive production-cars at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan, home to the Formula 1 Honda Japanese Grand Prix. This was no fluke though. Honda engineers meticulously conducted extensive development in Japan, and undertook rigorous testing at racetracks in Japan, North America and Europe to further improve Civic Type R’s chassis. The result is more responsiveness, greater comfort and a more thrilling driving experience than ever before.
