Stunning - where do I sign?

Litchfield will be getting a call for an import for me!

 

[Plimsole]

UK type r looks better imo

stick the Mugen engine from above in the uk car and it would be sweet

/\/\ you just got too much cash mr chris

 

[Floodie]

Why are they both different cars with same name?

 

[DrR]

what is that car?

 

[christurbo]

Its the JDM Civic Type R. Honda made a conscious decision to make the JDM CTR different from the ROW.

 

[dannyboy172]

Sweet! I want!

 

[ChrisE]

Very Nice!!

 

[sneeks]

I like it. It's far nicer than the pics of the Type R with the new Civic shape. Hopefully they've ditched that version as it was ugly.

Looks like an Evo with a Vauxhall badge and grill to me.

Rear end is rude.

Prefer the UK CTR though

Saw a truck load of these in red yesterday, dont look as special as an ST, 225 or VXR, they are released for sale today, suprised it hasnt had much press coverage!

 

[ollie_gozzett]
