The contributing base model was the JDM Civic 3 - door hatchback called SiR, code named EK4. Like its big brother the Integra Type R DC2 / JDM DB8, the Civic SiR 's transformation into a Type R was achieved by working on the base model and improving it to Honda 's idea of a car capable of high performance on the circuit. The first Civic to receive the Type R badge was introduced in August 1997, as the EK9. The EK9 shared many characteristics with the Integra Type R DC2 / JDM DB8 such as omission of sound deadening and other weight reduction measures, a hand - ported B16B engine, front helical limited - slip differential and close ratio gearbox. The B16B engine boasted one of the highest power output per litre of all time for a naturally aspirated engine with 185 PS ( 136 kW ; 182 bhp ) at 8,200 rpm and 160 N ⋅ m ( 118 lb ⋅ ft ) at 7,500 rpm of torque from 1.6 L ( 1,595 cc ) of displacement. For the first time, a strategically seam welded monocoque chassis was used to improve chassis rigidity. The interior featured red seats, red door cards, red Type R floor mats, a titanium shift knob, and a Momo leather - wrapped steering wheel. Interior of a Honda Civic Type R ( EK9 ) on display at the Honda Collection, Japan. In 1998, the Civic Type R Motor Sports edition was released. It came with steel wheels, no air conditioning, no power windows, no power steering, no radio, and came with the standard Type R interior. Type Rx model was given a CD player, body coloured retractable electric door mirrors, power windows, auto air conditioning, keyless entry unlock system, aluminium sports pedals, and a carbon type centre panel. In 2000, Honda tuning company Spoon Sports designed a N1 racing version of the Type R that had the B16B redline increased from 8,400 rpm to 11,000 rpm. Mk2 Type - R ( EP3 chassis ) ( 2001 -- 2005 ) ( based on 7th generation Civic ) Second generation ( EP3 ) Overview Production 2001 -- 2006 Assembly Swindon, England ( HUM ) Body and chassis Body style 3 - door hatchback Layout FF layout Powertrain Engine 2.0 L 215 PS ( 158.1 kW ) K20A I4 2.0 L 200 PS ( 147.1 kW ) K20A2 I4 Transmission 6 - speed manual Dimensions Length 4,140.2 mm ( 163 in ) Width 1,694.2 mm ( 66.7 in ) Height 1,424.9 mm ( 56.1 in ) Curb weight 1,204 kg ( 2,654 lb ) Honda Civic Type R ( EP3 ) rear In 2001 Honda introduced the next generation of the Civic Type R as a unique 3 - door hatchback to the UK market, which was manufactured in Swindon, England. This European Domestic Market Civic Type R featured a 200 PS ( 147 kW ; 197 hp ) 2.0 L i - VTEC engine ( K20A2 ) and the regular Type R treatment of seam welding, close ratio 6 - speed transmission and uprated brakes, but did not include some of the other higher - end features, such as the helical LSD and red Recaro race - seats, that were standard in the previous generation EK9. However, Honda of Japan marketed a JDM ( Japanese domestic market ) version of the EP3 ( which was exclusively manufactured in Swindon, UK and was shipped to Japan ), which retained the highly renowned helical LSD similar to that of the EK9 and red Recaro race - seats. Other differences included a more track - oriented chassis / undercarriage settings as compared to the EDM, as well as a 215 PS ( 158 kW ; 212 hp ) i - VTEC engine ( K20A ) had a fully balanced crankshaft assembly with different intake manifold, exhaust manifold, higher - lift camshafts, higher - compression pistons, chrome - moly flywheel and ECU programming. All of the Japan - spec K20A Type - R powertrain were built in Japan and shipped to the Swindon plant to be installed in the Japan - spec Type - R EP3. The JDM EP3 was also available in the traditional Type R championship white while the EDM was not. The EDM has more relaxed gear ratios and some high rpm torque traded for low rpm torque compared to the JDM. In 2004 the EP3 was updated with many improvements -- revised EPS with quicker steering, revised suspension settings, projector headlamps ( JDM came equipped with halogens only while the EDM came with an option for HIDs with self - leveling motors ), lighter clutch and flywheel assembly etc. Based on Honda literature, this facelifted ( FL ) model was targeted at addressing customers ' and critics ' feedback such as understeer on the limit ( due to the front MacPherson strut setup ), numb steering response and lack of low end torque. The base price for the 2001 Civic Type R ( EP3 ) in the United Kingdom was of £ 23,100 ( about US $ 34,650 ). Performance ( all figures are manufacturer claims ) 0 -- 60 mph ( 97 km / h ) in 5.8 / 6.5 seconds ( JDM / EDM pre-FL ), 5.8 / 6.4 secs ( JDM / EDM FL ) 0 -- 100 mph ( 62 mph ) in 15.1 / 16 secs ( JDM / EDM FL ) Top speed 141 mph ( 227 km / h ) and 146 mph ( 235 km / h ) ( JDM / EDM ) Mugen Motorsports made an upgraded version of the JDM Civic Type R, with a sport exhaust system and engine tuning, special Mugen Grille, and anti-roll bars for pro racing activities. 30th Anniversary special edition In 2003 Honda celebrated 30 years of the Civic badge by offering a special edition 30th Anniversary Civic Type R. This special edition features red bucket seats from Recaro, air conditioning, privacy glass on the rear windows, a leather MOMO steering wheel and red carpet and door cards. The 30th Anniversary models in the UK were available in Nighthawk Black, Satin Silver and Milano Red. Only 300 of these models were produced, 100 in each colour. Premier special edition In 2005 Honda introduced the Premier edition which had Recaro Trendline seats ( similar to those found in the Anniversary Edition, only in red and black rather than all red ), a darker shade of fabric on the rear seat centre sections, a MOMO Steering Wheel, Red Carpet, Door Linings, `` Type R '' embossed into the front brake calipers and black privacy glass on the rear windows.

FD2 chassis ( asian version ) Honda Civic Type R ( FD2 ) rear The Japanese market Civic Type R ( FD2 ) went on sale on 30 March 2007. For the first time, the JDM Civic Type R was sold as a four - door sports sedan rather than a three - door hot hatch. The FD2 Type R was bigger, wider and heavier than the EP3 Type R. The wheelbase grew from 2,570 mm ( 101.2 in ) to 2,700 mm ( 106.3 in ), giving the FD2R more stability in high speed cornering. The Japanese model 's engine output is higher than the European version 's, with 225 PS ( 165 kW ; 222 hp ) being developed at 8000 rpm and 215 N ⋅ m ( 159 lb ⋅ ft ) of torque peaking at 6100 rpm ( versus 201 PS ( 148 kW ; 198 hp ) at 7800 rpm and 193 N ⋅ m ( 142 lb ⋅ ft ) at 5600 rpm for the European model ). The base engine itself is borrowed from the Accord Euro R CL7 with its longer intake manifold. Changes have been made to the block in terms of mounting points for ancillary parts making it different from previous K20A. New technology such as drive - by - wire throttle and porting of the intake valve ports using techniques from the NSX are implemented. Honda says mid-range is increased by 10 PS ( 7 kW ; 10 hp ). Drive is fed through a close - ratio six - speed gearbox, and a helical limited slip differential is fitted as standard. The front brake discs are 320 mm ( 12.6 in ) diameter and fitted with four pot Brembo calipers. Tire size is 225 / 40 R18 running on Bridgestone Potenza RE070. Honda claims the chassis is 50 % more rigid than the previous Japan - only prefacelift DC5 Integra Type R and 25 % more rigid than the previous Japan - only facelift DC5 Integra Type R, and the new model features an independent rear suspension rather than the torsion beam configuration used on the latest European Civic Type - R. To save weight, aluminium is used extensively and bonded with adhesive instead of welded. Though the chassis is larger and more rigid than JDM Integra Type R, it is only 70 kg ( 154 lb ) heavier. A typical interior of a Honda Civic Type R ( Japan ) Exterior wise, the front bumper is wider and different from the standard Civic designed aerodynamically. The rear bumper features a diffuser built into the bumper and completing the aero package with a huge rear wing. Inside, the trademark black and red bucket seats are no longer made by Recaro as with previous versions, but designed in house by Honda. Also gone is the Momo made steering wheel, instead replaced by a Honda made version. The familiar red - on - black colour scheme or black - on - black scheme is offered on Championship White and Super Platinum Metallic Silver while a black - on - black scheme with red stitching is for the Vivid Blue Pearl only. In October 2008, the Civic received a minor face lift. The standard and hybrid versions now had a similar front bumper as the Type R while the head lamps gets a smoked tint and also redesigned tail lamps changes the round insets into octagons. The Type R also received new colours, with Premium White Pearl, Premium Deep Violet Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl being added and the Vivid Blue Pearl color was dropped. In back to back tests the Civic Type R ( FD2 ) was on average 1 second quicker than the Integra Type - R ( DC5 ) at the Tsukuba Circuit and four seconds faster at the longer Suzuka Circuit. In a back to back test on the United Kingdom TV program Fifth Gear, the FD2 Type - R was three seconds quicker than the equivalent FN2 UK version around Castle Combe Circuit in the wet. Only about 13,000 units of FD2 Civic Type R were produced until it ceased production in August 2010 due to failure to meet the upcoming emission requirements. Following the previous success following the introduction of the FN2 Civic Type R from Europe in 2009, another batch of FN2 Type R with minor updates were available in fall 2010. The FN2 Type R has 197 hp ( 147 kW ) vs the 222 hp ( 166 kW ) output in the FD2 Type R. Civic Mugen RR ( Honda aba - FD2 ) Honda Civic Mugen RR in Japan.

As often, names and trims vary even within domain markets down to local ones, and a Heritage version replaces GT version in some of them, adding Xenon / HID lights to the mix. The topping Heritage Navi version adds Bluetooth telephone system and voice recognition DVD satellite navigation. A more radical version dubbed Race differs from the Heritage by removing components ( incl. HID, AC, fog lights, audio system, sound proofing, some airbags ) to reduce weight as much as 40 kg ( 88 lb ). Finally, together with the 2009 revision to all 8th generation EDM Civic variants ( adding for example a USB iPod - compatible plug to the audio system ), a special edition called Championship White comes in the eponymous Honda colour, with matching white 18 '' wheels ( 19 '' white optional ).
