Recently, a Honda Civic Type R was owned by a businessman in Can Tho (formerly Soc Trang area), adding to the not-so-large capital of this car line in the country.
Honda Civic Type R is the most high-performance version of the Civic line, developed by Honda with a purely sporty orientation. Compared to the standard version, the Civic Type R has a significantly higher price, reflecting major differences in engine, chassis and operating equipment. Therefore, the customer group of this model is often those who have a passion for driving and suitable financial capacity.
According to market records, the number of Honda Civic Type R in Vietnam is estimated at nearly 30 units, distributed in many different provinces and cities. The cars have all 5 standard colors announced by the company, showing the diversity in users' choices. The car's appearance in Can Tho continues to show that this high-performance hatchback model is not limited to the car-playing community in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
The Civic Type R in Can Tho owns the Championship White paint color, a symbolic color often associated with Honda's sports car lines. The car interior uses the characteristic red tone of the Type R version. The car has been upgraded with 5-spoke aftermarket rims, while the original rims are still kept by the car owner. According to information from users, the car has only been in operation for more than 2,000 km, which is considered quite low compared to the level of used cars.
Besides the Championship White color, Honda Civic Type R is also distributed with four other exterior colors including Rallye Red, Racing Blue Pearl blue, Crystal Black Pearl black and Sonic Grey Pearl gray. These are all colors that emphasize the sportiness and personality of the model.
Technically, the new generation Honda Civic Type R is considered the leading high-performance model in Honda's product range, and also the most powerful Civic ever mass-produced by the company. The car is equipped with a 2.0L I4 turbocharged engine K20C1, combined with a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine block produces a maximum power of 315 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 420 Nm in a range of 2,600 to 4,000 rpm.
