HONDA Civic Type S 2005 - 2008

Honda debuted the eighth generation Civic with two different versions for the American/Japanese and the European market. The European 3-door Civic was named the Type S and premiered a completely new and bold design. The European Civic was developed in Swindon, UK, and boasts a bold, out-of-this-world design inside out. The exterior looks like a space-ship with lots of smartly fit triangular shapes, like the front fog lights, door handles and twin rear exhaust pipes. The interior resembles the deck of space-ship as well, with Honda's new cinematic-like instrument cluster. The engines available with the Type S are a fuel efficient 1.4-liter i-DSI petrol unit, a 1.8-liter i-VTEC with 140 HP and a 2.2-liter i-CTDi diesel with an impressive 251 ft-lbs of torque at 2000 rpm. The European Civic had a simpler rear torsion beam suspension than the American/JDM versions with double-wishbone.
