At this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, Honda introduced a new ‘Racing Black Package’ variant for the Civic Type R, which swaps out the very red interior for, well, black. The price for this subdued look is 5,998,300 yen (about RM172k), or just over a million yen more than a normal Civic Type R at 4,997,300 (RM143k).
With the Racing Black Package, the red suede upholstery gets switched out for black suede, with the colour swap also applied to the interior carpets and floor mats. Light grey stitching is also used throughout the interior too, with the only red cues left being the seatbelts, the badge on the steering wheel and ambient lighting.
In addition to these changes, Honda also replaced shiny trim for the climate controls and air vent stalks with darkened trim, while the rubberised dashboard gets suede to cut down on light reflection. An auto-dimming rear-view mirror also makes its way into the cabin.
While the interior gets the black treatment, the exterior can be had in a variety of colours, including Championship White, Sonic Gray Pearl (a cost option), Crystal Black Pearl, Frame Red and Racing Blue Pearl.
The powertrain stays unchanged, with a K20C 2.0 litre inline-four VTEC Turbo engine serving up 330 PS (326 hp or 243 kW at 6,500 rpm and 420 Nm of torque from 2,600 to 4,000 rpm. A six-speed manual is the only transmission pairing to drive the front wheels.
