GT5 2008 Honda Civic Type R

Today's GT5 car pictures are of the 2008 Honda Civic Type R and not for the first time, see list of cars in the right-hand panel on this blog.

Painted Super Platinum Metallic and parked here at San Galgano Abbey which is one of the Italian photo travel locations in GT5.

In his book What Not to Drive, writing about the immediate prior version of this car, Richard Hammond (of the former Top Gear infamy) specifically lists this car as one of those not to drive... for senior citizens complaining of a "bone-crashingly hard ride and a noisy cabin".

Two crashes at exact same location in Tokyo at Tokyo R246.

Second crash on fourth lap at about the same spot.

A 2008 Honda CIVIC TYPE R, a sports version of the contemporary Civic 4-door car, I think.

In Super Platinum Metallic.

My neighbor had a regular Civic of about the same generation stolen some years ago.

This car is the winner of the One-Make Civic Sprint Challenge at Suzuka Circuit.
