Notes

The Honda Civic Type R FD2 is the seventh-generation Civic Type R produced from 2007-2010 exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and European markets (not sold in North America). The FD2 features Honda's legendary K20A 2.0-liter naturally aspirated i-VTEC inline-four engine producing 201 horsepower at 7,800 rpm (Japanese specification) or 225 horsepower at 8,000 rpm (European specification) with 142 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels through a mechanical limited-slip differential.

The FD2 represents a return to sedan body style after the three-door EP3 generation, with the four-door configuration providing better structural rigidity and more practical packaging. Comprehensive performance equipment includes Brembo four-piston front brake calipers, sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels, aerodynamic body kit with functional cooling ducts, dual exhaust, Recaro sport seats, and red Honda badge and red "H" emblem denoting Type R specification. Weighing approximately 2,800 pounds (1,270 kg), the FD2 achieves 0-62 mph in approximately 6.2 seconds with top speed near 146 mph. The high-revving K20A engine with 8,000+ rpm redline delivers characteristic Honda VTEC crossover and encourages high-rpm driving, while the sophisticated chassis provides excellent front-drive dynamics with minimal torque steer. The FD2 never officially reached North America, increasing its desirability among collectors and enthusiasts who prize it as one of the last naturally aspirated, high-revving Honda Type R models before the turbocharged FK2/FK8 generations. JDM and European-spec FD2 models command premium pricing on the used market.
