Hot Wheels 2025 - Premium / Car Culture / 2 Pack - '99 Honda Civic Type R (EK9) & Honda Civic Type R - Metal/Metal & Real Riders

Hot Wheels Wiki says: Car Culture 2-Packs is a premium series of 2-car packs introduced in mid-2021. These consist of two Premium cars themed to a certain assortment: one car from an existing Car Culture assortment (sometimes with minor cosmetic modifications) plus one new car. All castings are made in Thailand. 

The Honda Civic EK9 Type R is a depiction of the sixth generation of Honda Civic, produced from 1996 to 2000. Designed by Masakazu Udagawa and Yoshi Kigoyoshi, the sixth generation Civic was available in sedan, coupe and hatchback bodystyles, internally designated the EJ, EK and EM. Numerous trim levels were available as well, from CX all the way until the performance-oriented Si and Type R. The cars were built in numerous plants in and outside of Japan and was manufactured under numerous nameplates. The Type R was only available in the Japanese domestic market, although gray imports exist.

The Honda Civic Type R is a high-performance version of the Honda Civic. The sixth generation of the Type R, introduced in 2022 and designed by Dai Hara, is based on the eleventh generation Civic; it is notably less aggressive in design than previous generations of the Type R with lesser decorative air vents and smaller air outlets. It uses a 2.0L K20C1 turbocharged inline-4 mated to a 6-speed manual; it is internally designated as the FL5 by Honda. Unlike previous generations of the Type R the car is manufactured in Yorii, Saitama, where the standard Civic liftback is also built. The car has broken a number of lap records, with a pre-production car breaking the lap record for a front-wheel drive car at both Suzuka Circuit and the Nürburgring.
