Honda Civic Type R: white-hot
Get ready for a white-knuckle ride in Honda's best Civic Type R ever. The crisp colour turns heads, but what sets the GT Championship White apart is the way it turns into corners. The limited-slip
differential stops wasteful wheelspin when tackling tight bends, and gives the Honda the handling to match any hot hatch legend. Our only gripe is that the invaluable mechanical kit isn't included as standard
on the existing Type R. Anyone wanting the ultimate Civic will have to fork out a premium of £1,000. Given the handling improvements on offer, that seems a fair price to pay.
