Secrets to its speed

The Civic Type R is full of amazing tricks to help it run fast.

• Powerful engine: It uses a special engine called VTEC. When you step on the gas, it makes a roaring sound and speeds up with great power!
• Special mufflers: Some models have 3 exhaust pipes in the back! They do not just sound cool, they are designed to boost the car's power.
• Designed to use the air: The big wing on the back and the sleek shape of the car use airflow to push the car down onto the road. This keeps it steady even when driving super fast.
• Red seats: The front seats are a cool, special red color. They hold your body tightly in place so you can focus on driving.

Championship White

The Civic Type R has a special white color called "Championship White." This is the color used on the race car that won Honda's very first race, making it the symbol of Type R cars. Car fans know right away that it is a "Type R!" just by seeing this white color.

How to choose your colors

When you paint your Civic Type R coloring page, try to make it look like a real Type R!

• Car body color: The most famous color for the Civic Type R is "Championship White." It is a special color from when Honda won a big race! But other colors look great too, like Frame Red, Sonic Gray Pearl, Racing Blue Pearl, and Crystal Black Pearl. Feel free to use your favorite colors!
• The H emblem: The emblem with the "H" mark on the front and back of the car should be red. That is the special mark of the Type R!
• Wheels: These are the round parts in the middle of the tires. Making the wheels black or silver will make the car look super cool!
• Brakes: The brakes behind the wheels are often painted red.
• Seats: If you paint the driver's seat with red and black, the inside of the car will look just like the real thing!

Show how fast it goes!

The Civic Type R is a very fast car! You can make your drawing look even cooler if you paint it with lots of energy.

• Shadows and lights: Think about where the light shines on the car and where the shadows fall. This will make the car look 3D and real! Try using dark and light colors around the curves and bends of the car.
• Background: You can draw a fun background like a highway, a race track, or a mountain road! If you draw speed lines in the background, it will look like the car is zooming along!

As light as a single gram! The secret of the seat text

Look at the words "TYPE R" on the seats of the newest Civic Type R (FL5 model). Actually, this isn't sewn with thread! To save even the tiny weight of thread, the text is made by shaving the surface of the cloth thin.

The makers hidden a huge commitment inside: "Make it even a little lighter so it can go faster!"

The secret of "Championship White"

Civic Type R's famous white color isn't a pure white. It's actually "Ivory White," which looks a little like cream. This is a legendary color that old Japanese race cars used when they fought on the world stage!

There is a reason for the 3 exhaust pipes

Check out the cool 3 exhaust pipes in the back! Did you notice that the middle one is a different size? This isn't just to look cool. It's an important trick to control the "sound" and "air flow" to match how fast the engine is spinning.

It trained on the hardest track in the world

Civic Type R did its test driving on a racetrack in Germany called the "Nürburgring," which is said to be the toughest in the world! It sped over super bumpy roads to make its tires and shape the best they could be. Its title as "the fastest FF (front-wheel drive) car in the world" was born from this tough training!
