Thats right, the Civic Type-RR is coming to USA



Honda has just announced that the Mugen version of the Honda Civic Si will be sold on our shores this fall. Although the car has a modified body, suspension and new wheels the car has been criticized for not having any real performance gains over the regular Civic Si. Well if you live in Japan you can actually buy a more powerful Civic from your local Honda dealer.

On September 13th Honda is going to release another version of the Civic dubbed the Honda Civic Type RR, in Japan. Japan already has a more powerful version of the Civic that we don't get here in the US, the Civic Type-R. The Type-R is already more powerful than our Si model with 225HP and 158 lb-ft of torque. The new Type RR version will come with even more power at 240HP and 160 lb-ft of torque. The estimated 0-60 mph time for the more powerful version is 5.8 sec.

The RR version of the Civic is 22lbs lighter and gets a dual exhaust system. The car also has a modified suspension and braking system thanks to Mugen.

So what is the catch? Well the car lists for $40,000! Honda has stated that the Civic Si Mugen that we are getting this fall will start just shy of $30,000. Well $40,000 probably would be too much for a Civic, even if it has 43 more horsepower than the regular Si version. That probably explains why Honda is only going to make 300 of these cars and in only one color, red.

And still ugly. Type RR? That's all we need is fucking liitle kids running around saying, "Let's race our Double R" like they're fucking gangster racers. Later, QD.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Wow...couple funny things I noticed...

On September 13th Honda is going to release another version of the Civic dubbed the Honda Civic Type RR, .

HAHA Maybe the riceboys will think putting two R's on the car will make it doubley faster! LOL

The RR version of the Civic is 22lbs lighter and gets a dual exhaust system.

ROFLS again... 22lbs? Wow. Probably could have gotten it lower without putting a dual exhaust system on there.

Wow.. I could barely read this last paragraph because I was crying from laughter.

["B"]

At least you won't see too many of them in the hands of ricer kids. Or will we???


*evil laugh*

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

I'd feel so ashamed saying I payed 40G'z for a HONDA when I could be rolling in something with more style, speed, or something even luxurious. Whichever you want more for 40Gz.

[Mike Lowrey]

Scratch that.

Civic and "anything over $5" don't belong together.

[Nemesis]

RRRRRR matey

[Crazy Asian]

^^^^HAHHAHHAH

[Mike Lowrey]

RRRRRR matey

LOL.

Just wait until the introduce the "Thinkfast Edition"

When you hit the gas, it says "Faster Puto, its Immagration!"

$40K for a Civic? Wow, I can go get one of the new NISMO Track Tuned 350Z's for less than that.

See: http://digiads.com.au/car-news/lates.../photos_0.html

Also, whomever wrote that article needs to fired, sometime around now. It was jumping back and forth so much that I couldn't tell which car it was referring to half the time. First it was the Mugen Civic, then the Si, the Type-R, the Type RR, then back to the Si.

I followed the article just fine. Later, QD.

[gtikid]

Wow I actually think it looks very good. But $40k!!! That's just ridiculous and retarded. You could have you about 5-10 better looking and faster Honda's for that same amount of money

[MachNU]

looks like a srt-4!

[©hris]

once again Honda trying to step up and compete w/ Evo and STI.... i think its a lame idea

I don't think that's the idea at all. FWD, 240HP and 160TQ is hardly EVO competition. They're just trying to get more attention to the performance attributes of the Civic by releasing this special edition with a bodykit, exhaust, and 40-ish more horsepower. It's all simple marketing.

in a sedan???

[Ran]

Why not? The new Si is already available in a sedan. The Neon SRT-4 and Sentra SE-R Spec-V are both sedans. Hell, the Mazdaspeed 3 is a d@mn station wagon as is the new STi. All of these companies are blending practicallity with performance to appeal to a larger audience. The younger crowds get the performance they want and the older crowds get the practicallity they need without having to settle for a boring soccer-shuttle.

Yeah but you can't finance 5-10 Honda's @ the dealership for 60 months. Actually, if you can get 0% financing, no down payment and 60 months you will pay $666...... Hmmmmmm and it only comes in red...... Hmmmmmmm

[BKgen®]

the fuck would you pay that much for a civic?

you would have to be a huge honda fan, because that's definitely not a good candidate for the "bang for buck" winner.

[Ran]

the fuck would you pay that much for a civic?

For the same reason people buy the new piece of sh*t Shelby GT500; it's a limited edition collector car.

[WÉK SÔS]

i'd rather drive an Evo for that price

So then what your saying is it's the Devil's car huh?

Hey! I have one of these, and mine didn't come with any of this "performance" you speak of.

[OneSlow5pt0]

for 40k u could get a corvette,a viper,supra,RX-7,MS RX-8..........and u get a civic...lol

[Ran]

Hey! I have one of these, and mine didn't come with any of this "performance" you speak of.

I had one too and that car can be fun as all hell if you do the right things to it. Motor mounts, suspension, and smaller wheels make that car a lot of fun on the track. Hell, the new Spec V outperformed the Cooper S on a track comparison.

[KPowerEP3]

in a sedan???

the new CTR is a sedan..

[©hris]

i'd rather drive an Evo for that price

agreed.... the CTR hatch is a hot looking car but the sedan is just ugly imo.

[Ran]

corvette
viper
supra
RX-7
MS RX-8
civicl

I like how your list slowly degrades itself.
