30th Anniversary Special Edition:
In 2003 Honda decided to celebrate 30 years of producing the Civic by offering a special edition 30th Anniversary Type-R for the EDM (Europan domestic market). The special edition features special red sports seats from world reowned seat maker Recaro, air conditioning, leather MOMO steering wheel, red carpets and door linings and privacy glass on the rear windows. 30th Anniversary models were available in Nighthawk Black, Satin Silver and Milano Red. Only 300 of these models were produced, 100 in each of the 3 colours. The Type-R 30th Anniversary continues to offer the same exhilarating performance – 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and 235 km/h top speed – from the mighty 200 PS 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine mated to a close-ratio, 6 speed manual gearbox of the standard model. Type-R specification includes a chassis with firmer dampers and springs and extra body stiffening compared to the rest of the Civic range and 205/45 R17 tyres providing outstanding grip and handling. Yet despite these high performance credentials, it can behave with absolute docility in city traffic
Premier Special Edition:
In 2005 Honda introduced the Premier edition which had Recaro Trendline seats (similar to those found in the Anniversary Edition, only in red and black rather than all red), a darker shade of fabric on the rear seat centre sections, a Momo Steering Wheel, Red Carpet, "Type R" embossed into the front brake calipers and privacy glass on the rear windows. These were available in Milano Red, Nighthawk Black, Cosmic Grey and Satin Silver.
C Package:
In 2004 Honda introduced the "C Package" option (¥330,000 JPY) to Japan's Civic Type R lineup which included an additional color, Satin Silver Metallic, HID lighting, rear privacy glass, automatic air conditioner and outside air temperature sensor.
