Description

The 2016 Honda Civic Type R GT 2.0 i-VTEC is a performance-oriented version of Honda's popular Civic model, showcasing an aggressive design and high-performance engineering. It was introduced as part of the Civic's tenth generation and quickly garnered attention for its combination of everyday practicality and race-inspired performance. Engine and Performance At the heart of the 2016 Honda Civic Type R GT is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, designated as the K20C1. This engine is part of Honda’s renowned VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) family, with the addition of turbocharging for improved power delivery. The 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine produces 306 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque (295 lb-ft) between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm, making it one of the most powerful front-wheel-drive hot hatches of its time. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, which allows for precise gear shifts and adds to the overall driving engagement. The Type R GT can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 5.7 seconds and boasts a top speed of 168 mph. The car also features adaptive suspension dampers that can be adjusted to improve both comfort and handling, depending on the driving mode. This system, coupled with its front-wheel-drive configuration, allows the Civic Type R GT to offer an exhilarating driving experience, whether on city roads or racetracks. Exterior Design The 2016 Civic Type R GT has a distinctive, aggressive exterior that sets it apart from standard Civic models. It is aerodynamically optimized with a functional rear spoiler, front splitter, and side skirts that help manage airflow and reduce lift. These elements contribute to the vehicle's overall stability at high speeds, making it well-suited for track use. The large air intakes in the front bumper aid in cooling the engine and brakes, while the wide fenders house 19-inch alloy wheels, further emphasizing its muscular stance. At the rear, the quad-exhaust pipes and large rear wing underline its motorsport influence. The Type R GT’s bold lines, sharp angles, and aggressive styling make it a head-turner on the road. Its striking design is as much about function as it is about form, contributing to its excellent aerodynamics and performance. Interior and Technology Inside, the Civic Type R GT features a driver-focused cockpit with heavily bolstered sports seats that provide support during spirited driving. The seats are finished in red and black, matching the car's overall performance theme. The flat-bottom steering wheel, gear shifter, and aluminum pedals are designed to enhance the sporty feel. The GT model includes added comfort and technology features compared to the standard Type R. This includes a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto integration. The dual-zone climate control, parking sensors, and a premium audio system are also part of the GT package, making it a more comfortable dai Blue, 4 owners, £14,999
