A prominent digital automobile artist has devised a Type R version of the mega-popular Honda City. We are sure that any automobile enthusiast would instantly recognise the ‘Type R’ moniker. It represents the performance division of Honda. In the international market, the Honda Civic Type R is one of the most iconic performance hot hatches ever built. It locks horns with the likes of the Volkswagen Polo GT and Hyundai i20 N. Honda City is one of the most popular mid-size sedans in India. It is the first time that a digital artist has been able to render a Type R version of the City sedan.
