'기술의 혼다'라는 말이 있듯 혼다의 기술 중심 주의는 여느 메이커가 부러워할 만한 요소입니다. 그 중심에 NSX가 있죠. 그리고 유럽 마니아들을 중심으로 핫해치의 교과서라 불리는 시빅 타입-R이 있습니다. 사진은 최신형 모델로 영국 프레스 행사를 통해 공개된 모습입니다. 미국형과는 다른 형태의 카리스마를 뿜고 있네요. 오리지널 앞바퀴굴림의 가능성을 엿볼 수 있는 모델입니다.

The GT Pack also includes Honda’s Advanced Driver Assist Systems. This comprehensive suite of sensor-based safety technologies includes Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, High-Beam Support System, Blind Spot Information, Cross Traffic Monitor, Traffic Sign Recognition System and Intelligent Speed Limiter.
Forward Collision Warning: At a speed of 9mph or above, this detects the risk of collision by recognising the car or truck directly in front, using the multi-purpose camera. On detecting the risk of collision, it will offer visual and audible warnings. The warning distance can be adjusted and turned off.
Lane Departure Warning: This uses the multi-purpose camera to track lane markings on the road. If the car deviates from its current lane without indicating, it alerts the driver with audible and visual warnings. The system can be turned off by the driver at any time.
High Beam Support System: Working at more than 25 mph to switch High Beam head lights on or off automatically depending on oncoming or preceding vehicles (cars, trucks and motorcycles), bicycles and environmental brightness. The system can be turned off by the driver at any time.
Blind Spot Information: Uses radar to detect cars and trucks in the driver’s blind spot and warn of potential dangers using a visual warning on the door mirror when the vehicle is travelling more than 12 mph. If the driver indicates whilst a vehicle is in the blind spot, the visual warning will blink and an audible warning will sound.
Cross Traffic Monitor: This system uses rear side radar sensors to warn the driver of approaching vehicles when reversing. The approaching vehicle is shown either on the rear-view camera screen or displayed using arrows showing the direction of the travelling vehicle on the i-MID and an audible warning. The system is designed to detect cars and trucks travelling up to 16 mph.
Traffic Sign Recognition system: The multi-purpose camera detects road signs whenever the vehicle is moving forward, displaying the signs via the i-MID once the vehicle has passed the sign. The system is designed to detect circular road signs displaying speed limits and ‘No Passing’ information. Two road signs can be displayed at any one time – the right side of the display only shows speed limit signs while the left shows ‘No Passing’ signs and speed limits with additional information; such as weather conditions, for example.
Intelligent Speed Limiter: Intelligent Speed Limiter combines two otherwise independent safety systems – Adjustable Speed Limiter and Traffic Sign Recognition system – resulting in an advanced safety assistance feature. The Adjustable Speed Limiter system –standard on every Honda car on sale in Europe – regulates the maximum speed of the vehicle at a level set by the driver.
With Intelligent Speed Limiter activated, the maximum speed of the vehicle is automatically determined by the prevailing legal speed limit detected by the Traffic Sign Recognition system. When the vehicle passes a sign indicating a lower speed limit, the vehicle will gently and automatically slow. An alert sounds and the displayed speed limit blinks if the vehicle speed exceeds the limit by 2 mph or more. The vehicle’s maximum speed – regardless of the accelerator input by the driver – will not exceed this limit. When the vehicle passes a sign indicating a higher speed limit, it will allow the driver to accelerate until the vehicle reaches the new maximum permitted speed, at which point it will prevent the vehicle from exceeding the new speed limit. The system can be turned off by the driver at any time.
Accessory pack options
The new Civic Type R has a wider variety of accessory packs and single options than ever before on a Type R, allowing the car to be personalised to suit individuals‘ own preferences.
Red Exterior Pack : This further underlines the car’s sporting nature. It offers a combination of accessories that gives the car an exciting, sporty look using Rally Red accents, including a front grille garnish, door mirror covers, a rear diffuser decoration and a roof spoiler.
Red Interior Pack: Brings the outside red parts to the interior, with red air outlet surrounds, a steering wheel accents, red ambient front footwell lighting and doorstep garnishes.
Carbon Exterior Pack: This gives exclusive new highlights in a key motorsport material, with carbon fibre fog light surrounds, tailgate garnish and rear wing– available with gloss black or Rally Red end plates.
Carbon Interior Pack: The ultimate expression of racing pedigree, this pack contains carbon fibre air outlet surrounds, a carbon fibre finish to the center console and glove box.
Single option accessories
A range of single options, such as Honda 3D Sound, as well as individual elements from the option packs are also available. Honda 3D Sound is able to faithfully reproduce music by adding a compact DSP (digital signal processing) unit to the standard Honda sound system in the car, enhancing the listening experience to give a live concert hall feeling.
Drivers can also select individual elements from option packs. For example, hand-made carbon fibre can be applied to the fog light surrounds, while carbon fibre tailgate garnish or carbon fibre tailgate wing (available with gloss black or Rally Red end plates) can be added.
A roof spoiler, in Rally Red or body colour, is available to provide an additional aesthetic touch. Similarly, the front grille garnish is available in a Rally Red and chrome finsh. Rally Red rear diffuser decoration, exchangable Rally Red covers for the side door mirrors or a fuel cap in a gloss black can all be individually specified.
Inside, the red ambient front footwell lighting gives the interior a sporty but sophisticated feel. The footwell lighting is triggered by turning on the headlights and by opening the door.‘Elegance‘ black floor carpets bring even more of Type R to the front footwell, featuring red linings and a metal Type R badge.
The car’s interior can be personalised further by applying a carbon fibre glove box or centre console finish, while the air outlets can be emphasised with a carbon fibre, Rally Red or gloss black surround. The steering wheel can be enhanced with Rally Red or gloss black detailing.
The full range of accessories will be available in July on the Honda Genuine Accessories app, available on the App Store and Google Play.
7.Tested to success, Civic Type R represents the next generation of hot hatch with class-leading performance
Prototype Civic Type R recorded a time unmatched by any other front-wheel drive performance hatchback around the Nürburgring
As part of a rigorous and detailed development and testing programme, a pre-production development Civic Type R achieved a 7 minutes 50.63 seconds lap time of the legendary 20.8 km/12.9 mile Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany. This time is unmatched by any other front-wheel drive performance hatchback.
The lap time was achieved during the final phase of pre-production testing in May 2014 by a Civic Type R development car. The development car was in a standard state of engine tune, with suspension, drivetrain, exhaust, brakes and the aerodynamic package identical to those of the production Civic Type R.
The removal of equipment such as air conditioning, the front passenger seat and audio equipment offset the additional weight of a full roll cage (installed specifically for safety reasons and not to add rigidity).
During the test cycle, the development car used production-specification high-rigidity 19-inch alloy wheels. These were fitted with 235/35R19 road tyres being developed in conjunction with Continental especially for the new Civic Type R. The test cycle during which the 7 minutes 50.63 seconds lap time was achieved was part of the tyre’s development and testing process.
