Reportedly, it\u2019s the first Civic Type R to be officially sold in America and the most powerful one ever built for the region. But it\u2019s not just VIN 01 that sets this one apart. Rumor has it that this Aegean Blue beauty with red accents sold off at an auction for charity for a whopping 200K dollars!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Vice-President for Honda in America, Jeff Conrad said they thought \u201cit would be fun to offer one lucky customer a shot at owning the first of its kind in America.\u201d Note that the Civic Type R has been a bit of a fable in the States. While Honda has been selling in Europe and Japan for several years, this first production Civic Type R in America is clearly historic. The auction money goes to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for childhood brain tumors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Powerful Specs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s not forget that this hot hatch is the same one that blew us away with a quick lap around Nurburgring, managing it in an astounding (for a hatch) 7m43.8s. It\u2019s a mean feat alright, one that the Civic Type R managed courtesy of its 2.0-liter turbo, four-cylinder engine producing 295 lb ft of torque and 305 hp. The Civic Type R also boasts three driving modes; comfort, sport, and +R. Moreover, it offers better suspension and stability than its predecessors. Sounds like a good fit for Honda lovers in Dubai, UAE!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/dubai\/used-car\/sell\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sell car in Dubai, UAE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/search#?keyword=honda\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">buy a used Honda<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, CarSwitch is the place to go.
