Civic Type-R In ThE SprInG Kuching!!!


The Civic Type R is a high performance, high revving racing machine. Powered by a naturally aspirated K20A 2.0 liter DOHC i-VTEC engine, it revs up to 8,000rpm with an output of 225PS (165kW) pushing 215Nm (21.9kg-m) of torque. It’s no wonder it has been rated the best performer in its class.





Engines
This engine is supported by specially engineered parts. Air intake and exhaust manifolds have been tuned for high revolution engine output whilst throttle activation is via drive-by-wire. It is also fitted with 6-speed close ratio manual transmission gearbox with Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to perfectly match rev range and torque curve.













Conquers corners
A torgue-sensitive type helical Limited Slip Differential (LSD) system is used in the Civic Type R to limit wheel spin during hard cornering whilst distributing power evenly when you accelerate.

Suspensions
Exclusively designed front damping rates are 1.25 times higher while the rear damping rates are 1.6 times higher than the previous Integra Type R. This gives the Civic Type R great handling in different conditions.



High speed in sharp corners
Fitted with 18-inch high performance Potenza RE070 tires, you’ll gracefully handle even the sharpest of corners at high speeds. Previously used in the Honda NSX-R, these tires are designed with the trademark Potenza tread pattern and advanced silica compound material throughout its 18-inches for a tighter, tougher grip.
Bridgestone Potenza RE070
OutsideLess -grooved, big-block tread pattern for increased tread rigidity at high cornering roads.
Inside-Highly grooved tread pattern







Stopping power
Within the 18-inch Potenza tires lies a set of huge 17-inch disc brakes with 4-piston Brembo calipers, so stopping distance is shortened and fade resistance improved. This allows you to maintain high speed even during hard braking.



Decreased drag force
Special surface coating as used in the Honda NSX is applied to the cylinder head port. This reduces roughness by 40%, increasing an approximate output of 2PS.
