1. Civic SiR (EK9, Japan-Only)
The Honda Civic SiR (EK9), exclusive to the Japanese market, was powered by the high-revving B16B engine, delivering 185 horsepower at 8,200 rpm and 118 lb-ft of torque at 7,500 rpm. This engine featured a 10.8:1 compression ratio, hand-polished cylinder head, and a redline at 8,400 rpm. The SiR’s lightweight chassis, reinforced body, and tuned suspension made it a formidable performer, often compared favorably to the more famous Type R models. (en.wikipedia.org)
