A near-new, single-owner example of the rare Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition, offered with little more than its delivery mileage on the odometer. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 316bhp to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, for a 0-62mph sprint time of just 5.7 seconds and a claimed top speed of 169mph. The odometer displays a mere 494 kilometres from new. This is number seven of only 20 units delivered to Australia, one of which was reportedly kept by Honda. The car was originally supplied with a seven-year warranty, which expires on 30 May 2028. Exterior upgrades on the Civic Type R Limited Edition include a revised front bumper, lower fog light surrounds, redesigned LED light clusters, a larger air intake, a wider grille opening, a redesigned under-bumper air dam, and a set of 20-inch BBS forged alloy wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tyres. It rides on improved suspension with modified dampers, while stopping power comes from an upgraded braking system with red Brembo brake callipers, two-piece floating front brake discs, and revised brake pads. Interior changes include the addition of an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, a ‘teardrop’-style gear knob and the Active Sound Control (ASC) system, with individual settings for the Sport, +R and Comfort driving modes. Each example is finished in the exclusive shade of Sunlight Yellow, with contrasting gloss black paint on the roof, door mirror caps, intake vent and rear spoiler, over two-tone black and red bucket seats. This example also has the optional infotainment and air conditioning systems, which are omitted as standard to save weight. Its original owner’s manuals, service book and maintenance guide will be included, along with its unfitted, factory-supplied floor mats. The seller has deliberately left the ‘Vehicle Owner Details’ in the logbook blank so the new owner can fill this out. There has been no known bodywork damage. The Sunlight Yellow paintwork is described as being in showroom condition, with no perceivable wear, which is in keeping with the car’s extremely low mileage. Inside, the two-tone bucket seats and interior trim items are in similarly superb order, and are free of any signs of use or wear. All of the electrics are in good working order, and no mechanical issues have been detected. This Civic Type R’s complementary one-month inspection was performed in January 2022 at 345 km, by the technicians at Parramatta Honda. This Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is a showroom-quality example of the lauded Japanese hot hatch, which features upgraded suspension and Brembo brakes, as well as several styling and aerodynamic tweaks as standard. Widely regarded as one of the most capable front wheel-drive performance cars ever produced and setting a 2:23.993-minute lap record at Japan’s Suzuka circuit, the Type R Limited Edition is a truly phenomenal piece of modern engineering, and this fine example would make a discerning addition to any collection of rare performance cars, as well as a hair-raising companion for weekend blasts on its next owner’s favourite backroads or racetracks.
