Hot Wheels 2018 Honda Civic Type R – HW Night Speed Series
Experience the king of front-wheel-drive hot hatches in 1:64 scale with the Hot Wheels 2018 Honda Civic Type R. This 2025 mainline release captures the FK8-generation Honda Civic Type R — the first Type R officially sold in the United States and a record-breaking track weapon. Presented in a striking metallic dark green finish, this 1:64 die-cast is essential for any Hot Wheels or JDM collection.
Track-Ready JDM Styling
This HW Night Speed variant features a deep metallic dark green body that catches the light with a sinister, after-hours glow. The front end carries a meticulously detailed Honda “H” badge on the grille, flanked by sharply printed headlights and a signature red accent line that mirrors the real Type R’s aggressive front fascia. The doors proudly display a bold white Type R roundel, while the rear showcases the FK8’s unmistakable triple-exit exhaust and prominent rear wing. The gold multi-spoke wheels provide a stunning contrast against the dark green body, giving this hot hatch an unmistakable street-racer presence.
HW Night Speed – 3 of 10
This release holds position 3/10 in the HW Night Speed segment series, with collector card number 11/250. The series celebrates high-performance machines built for nocturnal street runs and midnight track sessions, and the Civic Type R is the undisputed champion of the front-wheel-drive hot hatch segment. Browse the complete HW Night Speed collection to assemble the full 10-car set of after-hours performance machines.
Real Car Heritage
The FK8 Honda Civic Type R (2017–2021) was a watershed moment for Honda. It was the very first Civic Type R officially sold in North America, and it arrived with a bang — setting front-wheel-drive lap records at the Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, Estoril, and Mount Panorama.
Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four producing 306 hp in US trim (or 316 hp in European and Japanese markets) and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels via a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with automatic rev-matching and a helical limited-slip differential. In independent testing by Car and Driver, the FK8 achieved a blistering 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 169 mph — figures that embarrass many rear-wheel-drive sports cars.
The FK8’s wild aerodynamics — including a massive rear wing, aggressive front splitter, and functional fender vents — generate genuine downforce, while the unique dual-axis front suspension geometry virtually eliminates torque steer. In 2021, Honda released a Limited Edition with only 600 units for the US, featuring Phoenix Yellow paint, lightweight BBS wheels, and a 38-pound weight reduction, pushing the top speed to 180 mph.
