2018 Honda Civic Type R Performance Specs
Owning a performance automobile is usually a study in compromise. This is especially true if it's also your daily driver, or the only car you own. Fun weekends at the track are balanced by the typical lack of cargo space, all-weather handling and general functionality.
Drivers have found less compromise in the recent "hot hatchback" category. By providing a spacious cabin, interior refinements and comfort features, this segment gives drivers thrill and functionality. For years, the Honda Civic Type R has been a paragon of this class.

The Honda Civic Type R combines the meticulously-styled, practical appeal of the Civic with some impressive performance-minded enhancements to create perhaps the most exciting front-wheel drive vehicle on the market. Interior refinements add to the appeal of this attractive and capable hot hatchback.
Available only last year for the first time in the United States, the 2017 Honda Civic Type R had limited time on the market to make a case for its uncompromising and exhilarating ride. It proved to be a huge hit and the 2018 Honda Civic Type R arrives with a full year to show drivers that they can have as much fun on the Thursday trip to the office, as they do on a Sunday afternoon track day.
The community around hot hatchbacks, and performance vehicles in general, is one of numbers – specs, horsepower, etc. So, how does the 2018 Honda Civic Type R measure up? Let's take a look!
