A previous-gen Honda Civic Type R with 16 miles (26 km) under its belt just went under the hammer for $102,000 USD. The seller appreciated that it was the No. 001 Limited Edition hot hatchback for the United States.
The car sports a Phoenix Yellow paintjob, a black and red interior with carbon fiber accents, improved steering and suspension, LED lighting, and a luxury trim specification. It rides on 20-inch BBS wheels and sports a sophisticated aero kit with an aggressive rear wing and flared wheel arches. Noise proofing, on the other hand, is inferior to that of the standard trim.
A two-liter turbocharged four-pot under the hood makes 306 PS (302 hp / 225 kW) and 415 Nm (306 lb-ft) of torque, which it sends to the wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
Based on the papers in the photo gallery, the owner bought the car last August for $44,990, suggesting a nearly 2.5x year-to-year markup.
