The Honda Civic type R-Championship White is the latest of civics in the Honda manufacturing line. It is a further improvement of the standard type R you would get at any car dealer. However, in our opinion, we feel that the improvement is just to minute to justify changing from a type R to the championship White.
Exterior
As the name suggest, the Championship white comes standard with a white coat and white sport rims. Minimal changes to its exterior looks. You will get very much the same thing from the standard type R.
What’s new
The new Type-R as said before has no changes on its 2.0 litre engine nor its already light body weight. Hence, if you are about to buy the Championship white do not expect it to have any more power than its predecessors. But don’t write off the Championship White just yet. Engineers at Honda have developed the Type R to work with a mechanical slip differential. What this means is you get better handling and grip when negotiating twisty turns.

Verdict
If you still have yet to purchase the Type R and you’re willing to fork out that extra cash for much better handling around corners, we would recommend that you invest in this car. But if you hands are tied and cash is a problem, you will still be good with just a Type R.
