Although the official unveiling of the car will be December 17, it is already listed on CarNext.
We have a new Formula 1 champion. In a controversial end to the 2021 season, Max Verstappen defeated Lewis Hamilton. This brought Hamilton’s streak to an abrupt halt. Verstappen now offers fans the chance to buy his car. It’s not the one. This is his daily driver and it’s a small hatchback.
The benefits of racing for Honda include a Honda Civic TypeR to drive around the track. This benefit will be extended to one lucky buyer and a charity called Wings for Life. The European website CarNext will sell the hot hatch, but has not yet revealed the car’s name. This article’s teaser video and the teaser listing do not mention the name. However, it is easy to recognize the Type R’s design cues from the clip. We also know the name because CarNext has it online. Oops.
We know that the price of this item will be around EUR33,333. This is roughly equivalent to $37,550 US currency. Presumably, this will be set up as an auction as a first-come-first-serve sale could get very ugly. This means that the price is at $37.550. Verstappen holds the title of the greatest motorsports driver, so you can be sure there will be many people who want to own this piece. All proceeds will be donated to Wings for Life.
The listing also states that the Civic has 36,000 miles. However, it shows the car as rear-wheel drive. CarNext says this hot hatch is custom-built, so it could be a rear wheel-drive Honda Civic Type R. It’s possible that the website listing is incorrect, but we can dream.
The official unveiling of the car will be on December 17. You will find more information about how to purchase the car at that time.
