The Honda Civic was introduced in 1972 and it is one best-selling, multi-model cars in the world, with over 18 million units sold. The Civic was been built in the UK from 1994 at the Swindon South Marston site which closed after 35 years of production.

The Honda Civic Type-R is the high-performance version of the Civic typically with a lightened and stiffened body, specially tuned engine, and upgraded brakes and chassis. This 2021 version is based on the tenth generation of the hatchback. 

It has a winged carbon fibre splitter, slatted ducts, diamond-mesh air intakes, red ‘H’ badge on the nose, smoked LED headlights, and 20-inch wheels. With a 2-litre turbocharged VTEC (Honda’s variable valve system) engine developing over 300 bhp, it can reach 60 mph in under six seconds and can reach nearly 170 mph.
This car also has ‘Honda UK Manufacturing’ over the front-left wheel arch and a Union Flag emblazoned on the back.
