A pure embodiment of track-ready performance.
Sign Up for UpdatesIt's
time. Time to look at the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition. The
upcoming Limited Edition Civic Type R is slotted to be the most potent
Type R to date. This future Honda Civic Type R is more track-focused and
lightweight, making it the car to own. Let's uncover the release date,
check out the price, and run down the performance specifications. Then,
circle back to the new Limited-Edition Civic Type R and see if you
should get your hands on one. If not, the new Honda Civic Type R is
really nice as well.
The 2021 Limited
Edition Honda Civic Type R is expected to arrive in the United States by
late 2020. Please note that due to a limited
production of only 600 units, we will not be receiving any inventory of
the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition models.
While the 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited
Edition is coming
to the United States, the word Limited holds true. The Limited-Edition
Type R
is only available in an exclusive production run of only 600 units. Get
on the
list and sign up for early access to the latest
details on the 2021
Civic Type R Limited Edition.
Honda hasn't released any details on the price for the upcoming
2021 Limited-Edition Civic Type R, but we should get the information
closer to Summer
2020. For now, the 2020
Civic Type R
costs $36,995, so it's fair to expect that the 2021 Honda Civic Type R
Limited
Edition will sell for much more.
The 2021 Honda Civic Type R is expected to be even more
track-focused than the 2020 Honda Civic Type R. One reason for a
potential
increase speed is that the newer Civic Type R will be 46 pounds lighter.
This
weight reduction comes in part from swapping the previously heavy
20-inch
wheels for lightweight aluminum counterparts (BBS forged-aluminum
wheels). The
rest of the weight comes from changes with the rear heating ducts, wiper
blades,
sound-deadening materials, and a tonneau cover.
At present, we don't see a change in the powertrain
equipment for the 2021 Honda Civic Type R. It should contain the same
standard
2.0-liter turbo-four engine that pumps out 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft.
of
torque. There is some talk of the car also coming with AWD, but we can't
confirm those reports yet. Stay tuned.
The new 2021
Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition run comes
standard with many of the features seen in the 2020 Civic Type R. Expect
to see
the 2021 Type R equipped with, but not limited to, Type R-accented
bolstered front
seats, racing-inspired sport pedals, aluminum shift knob, an
infotainment system,
a wrapped steering wheel, and the full range of Honda Sensing safety
features.
With no significant powertrain changes, we still expect the
2021 Honda Civic Type R hatchback to receive 29 mpg on the highway. The
weight-reduction
measures that Honda took with the 2021 Limited-Edition Civic Type R
could increase
the fuel economy, but we will have to wait for further testing just to
be sure.
The 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition should be the
same size as the 2020 model, which measures 177-183″ L x 71″ W x 55-56″
H. It
will also contain special Honda Civic rotors and brake pads to offer
superior
performance. It also appears to keep the carbon fiber wing spoiler along
with
the carbon fiber door mirror covers. Furthermore, the 2021
Limited-Edition
Civic Type R comes painted in an exclusive yellow color called Phoenix
Yellow.
We don't have specific safety ratings for the 2021 Honda
Civic Type R, but we do know that the 2020 Civic Coupe was awarded with a
Top
Safety Pick from the IIHS.
It's likely that the 2021 Civic will be rated highly in safety as well.
In
other online reviews, we do see that there is a lot of excitement about
the
2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition. For instance, AutoBlog
states that this model is "an ultimate version of the ultimate
Civic."
