2021 Honda Civic Type R FK8

A low-mileage and unmodified version of Honda’s remarkably rare hot hatch: one of 1,020 units released worldwide, and number nine of the 20 examples delivered to Australia. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 316bhp to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. As a result, the FK8-generation Civic Type R Limited Edition can complete the 0-62mph sprint in 5.7 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 169mph. This example is covered under the factory warranty until May 2026. As with every Limited Edition example, this Type R is finished in the exclusive shade of Phoenix Yellow punctuated by a gloss black roof and carbon-fibre accents, over a two-tone black and red cabin with carbon-fibre trim strips. It rides on a correct set of 20-inch forged BBS wheels, housing red Brembo brake callipers and shod with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. Included in the factory specification is air conditioning, a reversing camera, dual-zone climate control, a central infotainment screen with USB connectivity, adaptive cruise control, LED headlights, electrically folding wing mirrors, and a synthetic suede-trimmed multifunction steering wheel. The car is as per the original factory specification, with no modifications. Included in the sale is the original owner’s book pack and service history. There is no known bodywork damage. The original Phoenix Yellow paintwork and cabin are in excellent order, with no notable imperfections or signs of use. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults. The car was serviced in November 2021 at 1,092 kilometres by Honda. With just 20 units delivered to Australia, this is an exciting and exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire the limited-edition Honda Civic Type R. Lauded for its razor-sharp steering, impressive acceleration and standout colour palette, this rarely spotted performance car needs nothing to be put to the test on the road or track, and would make an eye-catching addition to any collection.
