The first turbocharged machine in Honda's Type R series.
A princess of conviction who believes her role is to show hope, leadership and strength to never give up in times of disaster.

Car
Honda Civic Type R 4th generation FK2 type.
For many years after the introduction of the Type R (DC2 model), Honda firmly established itself as the manufacturer of the fastest FWD production cars.
However, the appearance of the first generation Renault Megane R.S changed all that.
The Megane R.S, which combined the high power of a turbocharged engine with excellent chassis performance, set a lap time of 8 minutes 16.9 seconds (at the time) on the Nürburgring North Course, a famous development track for high-performance cars, in 2008, an astounding record for a FF mass production car.
The Renault Megane R.S was then replaced by the second generation, which further improved its speed.
Inspired by the Renault Megane R.S, other European manufacturers also developed high-performance FF machines armed with turbocharged engines, and models from various manufacturers competed for the title of fastest FF production car.
This meant that Honda's sports FF models were no longer the fastest in the world.
Honda therefore made a decision to regain its lost position as the fastest FF car in the world.
The Type R models had previously only been powered by NA engines with excellent sensuality and throttle response, but a new 2-litre 4-cylinder 310 hp turbo engine, more powerful than its rivals, was developed and installed in the European version of the Civic.
Furthermore, Honda applied racing car technology to the Civic to improve aerodynamics and give the body a wider tread, completing the fourth generation Civic Type R, which was no longer the same as the base model.
The Civic Type R, with its significantly increased power compared to the previous model, took on the Nürburgring North Course before its launch, and in March 2015 it finally set a long-sought world record (at the time) for the fastest production FWD car - 7 minutes 50.63 seconds.

Character
Alisha Diffda (see official website).
Princess in the Highland Kingdom, which rules the north-east of the Glynwood continent, and is the last in line of succession to the throne.
Her mother is of low status and her position within the royal family is low, and her earnestness and inability to overlook the corruption of power have made her a target for the ministers.
She is a person of conviction who believes that her role is to show hope, leadership and strength to never give up in these times of disaster.
She sees herself not as a princess but as a knight who serves her country, and although she uses formal language, she is by nature a cheerful and feminine person.
