# Honda Civic Type R Priced at $33,900, According to Window Sticker

We know it's the [fastest front-wheel-drive car around the Nürburgring](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/9600/the-2017-honda-civic-type-r-break-the-fwd-nurburgring-record>) (for now). We know [how much fuel it gobbles up](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/10184/2017-honda-civic-type-r-gets-25-mpg-combined-according-to-the-epa>). We know it'll [sound raspy as hell](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/8572/honda-civic-type-rs-exhaust-note-is-perfectly-raspy>). Now, we know how many of your hard-earned American dollars it will take to get into Honda's first Type R to make it stateside.

A forum member over at [CivicX.com](<https://www.civicx.com/threads/2017-civic-type-r-window-sticker-reveals-33-900-msrp.11656/>) managed to snag pictures of a gaggle of Civic Type Rs hanging out at a port, waiting to be loaded onto trucks. This included, vitally, a shot of the Civic's window sticker indicating its MSRP and full feature roster. The Championship White 2017 Honda Civic Type R Touring seen here apparently costs $33,900, or $34,775 with destination and handling.

This puts it in line with Honda's "mid-$30K" promise they've been quoting for a while now. For comparison's sake, the Type R's [Si little brother costs exactly ten grand less](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/10239/2017-honda-civic-si-coupe-and-sedan-are-available-now-and-start-at-23900>). In the UK, where Type R is assembled, [it costs the equivalent of around $40,000](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/10050/honda-civic-type-r-starting-at-40107-in-the-uk-available-in-july>). It also undercuts both the [Volkswagen Golf R](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/469/you-should-totally-buy-a-volkswagen-golf-r-right-now>) and Subaru WRX STI, which sport U.S. starting prices of $39,375 and [$36,095](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/9556/2018-subaru-wrx-sti-prices-start-at-26995>), respectively. I could quote you the Ford Focus RS's official price, but you and I both know how little water that number holds in the real world. Hopefully, Honda's ultimate hatch won't run into the same issue.

The hatchback-only Honda Civic Type R is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder good for 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet mated—exclusively—to a six-speed manual and limited-slip differential.
