Red is all you need
The new Honda Civic Type R has arrived, and things look good underneath the hood. The Japanese automaker has a lot of hot options for front-wheel-drive competitors, thanks to such a strong start.
It would be foolish to overlook the wheels’ aesthetic benefits. The spokes of the new hoops have a distinctive sword-like profile. They are also painted in stark white to match the vehicle’s red brakes. They are beautiful to look at but the Japanese automaker was focused on making a wheel that highlighted its racing spirit.
The Japanese Super GT championship’s wheels were designed to achieve a delicate balance of strength and beauty. The wheel is made from A6000 series aluminum alloy, which was previously reserved for aerospace applications. It is also manufactured using an advanced forging process and machining process to reduce weight by up to 2.1kg. This unsprung mass can have a profoundly positive impact on vehicle kinematics, as keen readers will be aware.
Red has been a key component of the Type R since its inception, so the Japanese automaker decided to make it the focal point of their Access pack. The weave of fibers in each carbon component has red polyester thread. Honda did not intend for these panels to have a floppy texture, contrary to popular belief.
We bet that these items will be in high demand and customers will not hesitate to grab them. Although details about availability in the United States are not yet available, it is clear that the Type R remains alive and well.
