Honda Civic Type-R 2016

Type R is powered by a 2.0-liter direct-injected turbo VTEC four-cylinder, which spins out 306 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm—both of which are the highest-ever figures for a Honda Type R model—and hits redline at 7000 rpm. As befits its hard-core nature, a six-speed manual is the only transmission offering; the swifter is topped by a machined aluminum knob.
