Honda Civic Type R is back (with turbo)

**Torell** · 20-07-2014 01:08 PM

ive also heard closer to 40k, but in saying that it will prob be before onroads, so still closer to 45k.

then cos type r parts are so hard to come by, your gonna opt for all the extras....

so we r looking at atleast 200 kw, FWD, and my guess is a shorter rev tacho about 7.5k. Im also going to guess it will be a two stage vtec

What factory extras did the fn2r come with?
I thought all the inside trims came standard?

Honda Australia won't be so kind, figure it to be around $50K...

When have they ever tried to be competitive with they 'hot' models... Lolz

"The strength of the new Honda Civic Type R will come from a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, capable of developing at least 280 hp, although some reports indicate that the engine could generate up to 320 hp."

It will most likely be limited to 280hp and then post flash pro it will hit 320hp. If its as good as the hype up is, then I see it on sale for $45k easy. That said, and with fan boy mentality aside, how do you justify spending that much on a car in a similar category price wise to a golf r ?
Regardless, I would like to see how it faired against the a45.

Assuming it's $45K though, that's ~$10K less expensive than a Golf R.
I think the A45 (AMG) is something like ~$85K.

i thoguht the golf R's were 65k

that would effectively make it the same class in a different price bracket

Fwd tho......

**flop101** · 22-07-2014 11:52 AM

My bad, was meant to say golf gti not golf r.
In saying that, I guess the trade off is peformamce vs creature comforts.

Is thr general consensus that red, white, black and silver will be adhered to as the paint options? The only thing ive read thus far is thay the red has gold flakes in it and the test car is black.
