The Honda Type R will it be automatic in 2023?

Based on earlier Civic Type R versions, it is most likely that the 2023 model will only be offered with a manual transmission.

From 2017 until 2021, the Civic Type R's first generation was built,

[{"selector":"#anim-57b0bf6c-dc93-4429-8803-7cfbc3efa41b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9d39270-798e-453c-bfae-994fa5461941","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.68628%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ba782fc4-1660-492e-a0de-fdeccc88936c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7242f97-b7ed-45ae-8784-6a7e1c498ca3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This was due to the Type R's design as a high-performance driver's car,

[{"selector":"#anim-5a911a5c-6fa3-48dd-b75c-1abbdeb9512e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.616650420880365%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-672e0bbf-ec0c-47e8-bf33-8371e4fcd0be","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.32027%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a0b32e73-3f29-49c8-ba06-14d6a8ea2429","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2d80ecaf-f466-42d2-a25c-4100b3a53cfc","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

which made the manual transmission more enjoyable to drive and gave the driver more control.

[{"selector":"#anim-25243842-8266-4102-bb6a-21ea517a4dda [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.17499990397451%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fecf1ebd-e95e-421d-8e58-08eb31ff775c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.32027%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06acfe12-0717-4225-9877-f219fe4b074e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c337279a-f1f2-4df9-bcdb-00dc0ab0e999","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Honda might eventually offer a manual or dual-clutch transmission as an option,

[{"selector":"#anim-c39bce1d-a4fc-475d-9f10-5cf3f6e6c223 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.251588061739344%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54fa1673-b8f6-4b57-ae63-579af513d1bf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.95425%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a398782d-1ab0-467a-bed9-c2767b181aff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3965ed39-1648-4947-9a2a-71cdd0ccbffe","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

but for the time being the Civic Type R only comes

with the standard manual transmission.
