In honour of the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade sport bike, Honda Italy has announced a limited edition Civic Type S.
Distinguished externally by redesigned front and rear bumper fascias, losing their chicken wire mesh grille look in favor of air vents and diffuser like bottom, respectively.

Additionally, graphite color coded components include mirrors housings, fuel lid cover, door handles and stylish 18-inch wheels plus Fireblade emblems.

Available in Black, Red and Silver, the Civic Type S Fireblade Replica comes with the 140hp 2.2-liter i-CTDi diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission at a price of €25,190 in Italy.

It reminds me of cyclops. Is it really worth paying the little extra for a 140hp Civic lol? Its ugly

It's not bad...I wish the headlights were more distinctly separated and the rims smaller and lighter colored. Other than that, I like it

hrm, looks like a small city car to compete with the likes of a Smart. 140hp diesel prolly has a good kick to it compaired to a 1.3l smart, and it probably gets some pretty good gas mileage... i doubt this was made to be a race car...

I like the car but the headlights/taillights really don't do it for me

Exactly. Though I think its a bit too aggressive to make it to the states. That thing'll stay in the UK for sure.

I'd buy it, cept for the fact that design uses torsion bars in the back.

it looks like you could rip the headlights and taillights off and use them as a sword, right after you drive the car off into a ravine, if the honda diesel(where did they come up with that??) can actually make it to the side of the cliff. also thats the first time ive seen lambo wheels on a civic.
HONDA-FAIL

Ewww...you're right. Puke.

Actually, the Insight looked a lot like a CRX too, with wheelwell covers. :D
