Honda slaps a turbo on the Civic Type R

In place of the a high-revving, naturally aspirated engine, the fourth-gen receives a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 306 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.

The only transmission available on the Civic Type R is a six-speed manual.

To improve handling, a mechanical limited-slip differential is standard on the Civic Type R.

Adjustable two-stage dampers are installed on the Civic Type R.

To cope with torque steer, the front struts get separate steering knuckle, and Agile Handling Assist torque-vectoring applies light braking to the inner wheel for quicker cornering.

Like all Type R models, a big rear wing is featured on the back of the Civic.

The turbocharged Civic Type R has a top speed of 167 mph.

An R+ button stiffens the suspension dampers, sharpens throttle response and unlocks the turbo engine's full fury.

The turbo engine allows the Civic Type R to keep up with the Ford Focus RS, Volkswagen Golf R and Subaru WRX STI.
