Overview

This Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition finished in signature Sunlight Yellow with red interior is one of the most focused and collectible modern hot hatches ever produced. Showing just 13,234 km, this example presents in exceptional condition with a top grade 5 and interior grade A, confirming its near showroom quality.

Honda engineered this version for ultimate driving performance, reducing weight through removal of sound deadening, rear wiper, and infotainment components while adding lightweight forged BBS wheels, Michelin Cup 2 tyres, and revised suspension tuning. This results in sharper handling, improved response, and a more raw driving experience.

The auction report confirms this is a genuine one owner vehicle with full documentation including service records and spare key. Factory options include navigation, TV, Bluetooth connectivity, reversing camera, ETC, cruise control, and Honda Sensing driver assistance systems. The condition notes highlight only very minor marks such as light interior wear and small scratches, entirely consistent with minimal use.
