2023 Honda Civic Type R

 
The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is the performance champion of the Civic lineup—and if you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect hot hatch, then your search has come to an end. Armed with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a six-speed manual transmission, the Civic Type R connects you to the road (or the track) like no other vehicle available today. It starts at $43,795 MSRP*, and comes equipped with all of the useful infotainment and comfort features that you’ve come to expect from Honda cars and SUVs. In other words, it leaves absolutely nothing to be desired.

2024 Honda Super GT: Taking the Type R to the Next Level

The SUPER GT Series is one of Japan’s premier automotive races, and the GT500 Series is its most prestigious class. Accordingly, Honda will be entering the race with a tuned-up version of the very same Honda Civic Type R available to shoppers in Canonsburg and Bethel Park.
