This EK model was the first 'Type R' Civic. Despite its light size and weight, it boasts a high-revving naturally-aspirated engine that can produce 182.4 BHP. Its body was extensively reworked with an eye towards enhanced rigidity and weight reduction. The base chassis was of a newer generation than that of the first Integra Type R model. Though small in stature, its speed is undeniable. This particular variant is a late-model release. The bumper and light detailing differ slightly from earlier designs.

This is a first-generation Honda Civic Type R. What's really special about this car is its specially-tuned 1.6L naturally-aspirated straight-four engine. Just wait till you hear its thrilling roar and exhaust note—you'll think you're driving a genuine racing car! The effect is really amazing, especially when you go from the 6,000 rpm to over 8,000 rpm. Since it was based on a front-wheel drive car, the Type R was originally marketed at an affordable price. But nowadays its value has been reassessed owing to its exceptional performance.

==Trivia==
*It also appears in GT Concept, only appearing as a CPU car.
*Despite appearing in nearly all Gran Turismo games to date, it didn't receive an updated model and interior view until Gran Turismo Sport.
**This may be due to the pre-facelift model getting such treatment first in the PlayStation 3-era games.
