 | Race-car looks are combined with high-spec interior equipment on Honda's new limited edition model, the Civic Ti.
Based on the 1.4 and 1.8 i-VTEC SE variants, the Civic Ti comes with
£3,700 worth of extra equipment over and above the standard model.
The 5-door Civic is inspired by this season's Honda Racing British
Touring Car challenger, and is fitted with unique, 17-inch ‘Pro Race'
wheels from Team Dynamics, Honda's racing partner in the BTCC. |
The sporty image of these matt black wheels is enhanced by Honda's ‘GP'
body kit finished in Crystal Black, which provides a stark contrast to
the exclusive Premium White Pearl body paint and body coloured trim. The
race-like GP kit includes front spoiler, rear spoiler (finished in
white), side skirt inserts and rear body skirts.
Inside, the Civic Ti is equipped with a state-of-the-art Pioneer
Navigation Multimedia System, which offers full-scale sat nav,
entertainment and communication with a 3D graphic touch screen.
This high-end multimedia unit includes a map database covering 44
countries, multiple sensors to ensure more accurate positioning, a
traffic message channel receiver to avoid traffic jams and a hands free
telephone system. It also plays CD, DVD, iPod, iPhone and USB devices,
with on-screen controls.
The Pioneer system provides another link to the BTCC team, as the global
audio/video and electronics firm is the main sponsor of Honda Racing
Team's attack for the 2011 title.
Honda dealerships in the UK will sell just 500 of the limited edition
Civics, which go on sale in March. Prices start at £15,995 for the 1.4
i-VTEC and £16,995 for the 1.8 variant. | | | | Citroën's distinctive and versatile DS3 offers
something for everyone this Spring, with two exclusive new ranges to
welcome in the new 11-plate.
For drivers after power and prestige, the DS3 Racing £23,100 special
edition DS3 Racing - limited to 200 RHD UK models - delivers 207hp,
motorsport styling and a range-topping premium specification. |  | | Showcasing
the latest in four-wheel fashion, the DS3 by Orla Kiely Collection
integrates the designer's iconic style into an exclusive line of 500
models in four variations and prices start from £16,000. | | |
