Civic Si Coupe FG2
The Honda Civic Si Coupe FG2 (2006-2011, eighth generation) represents the two-door coupe variant of the eighth-generation Civic Si. The FG2 Civic Si features the K20Z3 2.0-liter inline-four i-VTEC engine producing 197 horsepower (147 kW) at 7,800 rpm and 139 lb-ft (188 Nm) of torque at 6,100 rpm. Power is delivered exclusively through a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with helical limited-slip differential to the front wheels.
Performance figures include 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 137 mph. The FG2 Si features sport-tuned suspension with stiffer springs and dampers, larger front brakes, 17-inch alloy wheels, aggressive body kit with rear spoiler, sport seats, and weighs approximately 2,900 pounds. The K20Z3 engine delivers Honda's characteristic i-VTEC high-revving performance with 8,000 rpm redline and VTEC engagement providing noticeable power surge above 6,000 rpm. The FG2 gained popularity in the tuning and track day community thanks to the K-series engine's high modification potential, with aftermarket turbo kits easily achieving 300+ horsepower. The coupe body style offers sleeker styling compared to the sedan variant while maintaining practical rear seats. The FG2 Civic Si represents Honda's philosophy of naturally aspirated performance, front-wheel-drive precision, and manual transmission engagement in an affordable sport coupe package, offering genuine hot hatch dynamics with i-VTEC character, rev-happy power delivery, and the reliability and practicality expected from Honda, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking daily-drivable performance with strong aftermarket support.
