Autobacs Launches ARTA GT Kit for Civic Type R, Limited to 20 in Japan

The race-team-developed retrofit targets track use with comprehensive aero plus cooling, brake and suspension changes.

Overview

  • Pricing starts at ¥13,500,000 before taxes for the Japan-only conversion.
  • The package fits existing FL5 Civic Type R cars and adds a swan‑neck rear wing, widened arches, vented bonnet, splitter, canards and a reworked rear diffuser.
  • Hardware upgrades include a new intercooler, AP Racing two‑piece brakes and revised suspension, with no confirmed power figures released.
  • The largely unchanged cabin gains a motorsport-style carbon-fiber steering wheel that reporting indicates is used without an airbag.
  • Production is capped at 20 units, with PistonHeads reporting strong interest and lottery allocation of build slots.
