Under the hood of the 2023 Civic Type R is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out an impressive 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission with rev-matching technology that allows for lightning-fast gear changes.
The suspension has also been revised for the 2023 model year. The Type R now features adaptive dampers that adjust in real-time to provide the best possible balance between comfort and performance. The car also has a stiffer rear sway bar and revised front suspension geometry that provides even more precise handling and turn-in.
One of the standout features of the Civic Type R has always been its aerodynamic design, and the 2023 model is no exception. The car has a large rear wing that not only looks aggressive but also provides downforce at high speeds. The front bumper has been redesigned with a larger air intake that provides more airflow to the engine and helps to cool the brakes during hard driving.
