The All-New Civic Type R produces 310ps and 400nm from its 2L turbo 4 cylinder engine and is the company's most powerful model to be sold locally through Honda Malaysia since the previous FD2R Civic Type-R in 2008.

This new R has broken some new records including claiming title of world's fastest front wheel drive production car, with a new blistering 7:43.8, world record lap time at the benchmark circuit, Nurburging in Germany just last April.

Does the Malaysian audience get the full package deal or some watered down model Tom?
Well unfortunately the above is as far as I can say, but even if so, I doubt it'll be any less attractive anyways hahaha

Just heard for east Malaysia, the only 1 dealer is located in Labuan

Still waiting for the price tag
Me too anxiously, let's see if it'll actually be 300k or lower

Ugly car, full of fake ricer holes. The previous one was already not looking good, this one is even worse!

The saving grace? The normal CVT Civic can't be "modified" to look like this Type R.

For me, this new Civic Type R seems to be growing more apart from JDM heritage and styling.

Nope, surely not me to be drooling over that no matter what! If got money I'd rather get an AMG A45 anytime any day over this.
