For some, the Honda Civic Type-R is priceless, because it is the faster front-wheel drive who turned the Nurburgring. For some others, no. Anyway, this particular Type-R, painted in our national colour, the "Aegean Blue", is Background. So historic, it is sold for 200.000 dollars at the Bring A Trailer auction on 6 July, in the USA.
This one, is the production example and has framework number R00001. And, as usual with models that have the number 1, the Honda he took it out in auction on charitable purposes. But why is this one so expensive?
The answer lies in... Americanism. This one, is the first Honda Civic Type-R that is officially introduced by the Japanese company on United States. Because, for us at Europe can be "Usual", for Americans, the Type-R is not so much. It was, as Honda USA vice president Jeff Conrad says, "the forbidden fruit“.
So there you have it: This particular Type-R is the first officially imported into the USA, the Stronger production Honda ever seen by Americans, has the number R00001 in its chassis and is the first new car that is being auctioned by Bring A Trailer.
Before you start commenting on "excessive amounts" and such, we should point out that the amount from the sale of this two-litre turbo Honda with the 306 horsepower, it will go to a very good cause: The American Children's Medical Foundation for the support for children with brain cancer, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
