[Contents] In 1992, Honda's supercar NSX, released in 1990, was joined by the Type R, a competition spec model that also had circuit racing in mind. Later, the Type R grade, which inherited the company's spirit, was added to the Integra and Civic, and since then, models with the so-called "red badge" with the background of the Honda badge dyed red, have become the object of admiration for car enthusiasts. The motif of Hot Wheels is the first-generation Civic Type R, often called the EK9 in Japan. It is equipped with a light and rigid body, a stiff suspension, and a high-revving, high-output 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine that has more power the more you turn it. At the time, it was a model for young people and was sold exclusively in Japan, but now it is highly popular around the world as an icon of the Civic Type R. The Hot Wheels of the car debuted in a new mold from the Basic Car Line in 2021, but this release is the first to feature a die-cast chassis and real rider (rubber tires).
