- What a crazy car for fans of Honda’s legendary Ek9 Type R!
The Honda Civic Cyber Night Japan Cruiser 2020 is a neo-retro restomod of everyone's favourite CTR - the EK9. Could you imagine one of these streaking down the neon-lit highways of the Osaka Kanjo? I wish Honda would make this a reality instead of keeping it a concept!

This is a proof that some 90's designs, with minor upgrade, are timeless.
Questa è Benzinah I want this with a lot of the classic cars, especially the 2000-04 mustang, I really want the older monte Carlos back as well, a lot of the older American muscle cars just look amazing. I want companies to make old school cars with current engines.
@@bossmicky9256 it would be great
Good design is timeless....period
specifically honda and some toyotas. others are shit haha
@@sad466 i must add some Ferrari and Nissan too
I would purchase this more then the current type R.
Agree..90s cool
Me too
raw feel of the car, no electric nonsense, pure driving joy and beautiful b-series n/a engine, not sure if the new one comes close to it in terms of fun
@@sighenel6038 wrong
This civic would fly off the shelf if they actually produced them.
It would never become production bc the car wouldn’t meet crash safety regulations and emissions
@@FSXflyermaster if they restarted production of a a car looking like this do you think they are dusting off the exact old plans for it? No. They would redesign it to meet standards 🙄 It's 2020 bro they hot the technology and the know how 😄
And a lot will be stolen
I say otherwise
@@410kane with the latest in security systems installed? Maybe not hey?
90's to early 2000 was Honda's golden age when it comes to styling. Just my opinion.
agree :)
Late '80s to early 2000s to be exact.
I have an all original electron blue '00 DX I picked up in '14 with 136,000 km (85k miles), it's at 176 and parked... It's my relic haha. The styling of these coupes is just sooo good, I honestly love the wingless base look it has and plan to keep it looking original but upgrade the drivetrain to make it absolute minty. If you can't tell I have a bit of a love affair with this thing...
DOJAx707 it was the golden age of the majority of japanese automakers.
The graphic design guy tim Nauru was hired overpayed by Subaru
The fact that this "concept" dont give any impression of being old... hope this will be more than just a concept.
any car. with enough fabrication
Keep hoping, aint happening.
My friend, history repeats itself. Things will get so futuristic that it will eventually go back to a simplistic application. Think of it like how everything is streaming video services eventually somebody is going to create a product that screams all of those services, and basically take us back to cable network television.
Looks like absolute shit... why would anyone want this? Looks like an old civic with cheap after market lights
Mass production hope
Aftermarket companies are going to start selling these parts just wait
Amen
China is on it as we speak lol
Would give my left nut for that gauge cluster!
@@QuinnRickersonTV it's from a nissan note
🙏
This just proves honda knows their prime was the 90s lol.
Shawnsta 777 Subaru, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan has the best looking cars in the 90’s imo
Mitsubishi too buddy.
410 Kane buddy? Lmfao you sound like such a dickhead
@@UhhhSitrep Impreza, Supra, Celica, Prelude, Skyline, Silvia, yeah they did, lol
Yet ..
They should just open up another division dedicated to these generation car
newfellazlive yes it would be so cool to get your hands on a brand new 90s model 😍
This car represents my dreams: the 90s JDM legends we love in a remastered version. I have hope again.
Not a fan of the back end but if they put this out, they can have my money..
You Like!? The EG back end had my heart but the front end of the EK was what the EG needed.
I hate the front but love the back end those taillights thoo holy shit
Why aren’t we funding this?
Safety regulations, emission regulations and a super niche market.
@@HimmelWeint So what? I have a fit now and it's a 1.5 engine. Surely with this large engine bay they can make something with it.
honda should fund it, not us
@Dr.Science I disagree
I would buy atleast one
This is like one of those things that come along once in a lifetime that are so great you can't believe they even existed. This will be one of those things if it's ever produced.
Honestly id drive that as a daily, if its for sale id be down to get one.
people all over are dropping in k swaps in them
Would drive this 4 sure
How much would you spend?
E S 30k
Mogs well if it’s a type r I don’t think it’ll go for anything under 30k
*Sees manual in EK9*
Me: "SOOOLLLDDDD!"
Me 2
They need to do this to all of the popular Jdm cars like, the r32 skyline.
return of all the legends!! For the new era
Get rid of the trim on the side and those god awful tail lights, they could have updated the actual dash because it looks way too ricey with the updated console thing and dash. Headlights look like they are onto something there. Also, where the fuck can i get those bumpers?
Supra and rx7 as well! maybe even 3000gt
I've been saying this for years. Bring them all back, companies like Nissan are collapsing. They were down 99% on profits last year!
If they took back R32s & 34s etc they'd sell like hot cakes and make Nissan a fortune
@@monjier r32 taillights bad? damn must not be able to afford it
Imagine all the legendary jdm cars would do that
wakaba booooy! I’ll sell my Focus for a ek9 2020
every brand should do this! This would make the future so much more interesting
Like what NOKIA did
The famous NOKIA 3310
I would get boring since everyone would be doing this , plus we need to go forward, not backward
@@brickman6775 This is something new. No other manufacturer has ever done something like this and it is much more exciting than new cars.
the big 3 already did the retro modern thing with their muscle cars, and it sold pretty well.
civics were no sports cars. but maybe a retro modern Skyline GTR? 280z?
Nissan should bring a limited version of the R34 skyline and make it legal to sell it in the USA. Pretty sure those will sells
I love the look the new civics just don’t hit the same anymore...
This is what Honda's should look like. All the newer Honda's are ugly and too angular.
What?! Curse your words! Lol jk 😁.....but for real though I LOOOVVVEEE almost all Hondas! (New ones too!) They are ALWAYS ahead of their time and most American manufacturers end up trying to copy their body styles. But yeah the old school hatch back style is badass. I like it too!
@JΣЯӨMY ILLӨBЯΣ agreed! The NSX is absolutely beautiful!
JΣЯӨMY ILLӨBЯΣ Those are my two favorites by far as well. I have a regular Civic Hatchback, not the Type R, but I still love how it looks and how it drives. I love the design of it and the crazy angles, but I really love how this car looks as well! Just different design language is all.
Yea prob for around 30K lol
I want cyberpunk honda lawnmower
90's revamped concepts like these are what I hope my garage to be full of someday
Damn if Honda makes those gauge clusters for older cars they would make $$$$$$$$
Hell yeah they would!!!! I'd take a few!
you could retro fit one, or even change the guage faces on the existing cluster for a more recent look.
I'd buy one for my EG right this second
@@OldManShoutsAtClouds look up AP1 cluster, they managed to put those in EG's
@@Gwakkiii thanks for the tip, I'll check it out
Man I just realized you said this was a Concept Car. I got excited for a min while watching.
YESSS finally a car brand that honors their legacy!!!
If Honda was smart they’d bring back the old body styles with more features. Be such a smart move man. They’d fly off, I’d probably even sell my gti to get a em1 again
Yup and throwing the new engines in them
That is the nicest love letter from a car manufacturer I think I have ever seen. First they bring the new CBR1000RRR and now a concept like this? Honda is just tugging at my heart strings.
The market is ready for this, I can't wait for them to do a re-realese of an Integra.
That interior is so sick, they did that guage cluster so well
I'd retro my eks if this came available!!!
I've been thinking about getting a modern cluster for my EK, or at least the retro digital s2k cluster ♥️
The gauge cluster came straight out of Honda S660 which is neat
They could’ve done a little more updating with the plastics like the door panels and the steering wheel
@@aliyoussef8201 exactly my thoughts, why the old steering wheel :(
Easily the best shape civic they ever made imo
I really like how they tried to modernize it and still keep the original style that made it iconic.
I love it better than the previous years models
Never forget your humble beginnings.
Yeah...feels like the first time..
Absolutely. Bold move for Honda.
@@johncarlofernandez2698 its re-refreshing not bold..
Honda was already more than established by the late 90's. Their humble beginnings were in the 60's
I like this style of video it’s short and gives you an in-depth look into a specific car. You can just watch a car you like without sorting through any that you don’t. Keep up the good work! It’s nice to see your channel growing.
I would love to see this car get an “update” but keep the body style of an EK or EG. would definitely buy one
Yea the interior update would be the icing on top of the 🎂
Omg thats the best looking 96 to 2000 hatch Ive ever seen wow!!!!!!⚡
Someone need to make a body kit to make the ek look like this.
I would do unimaginable things to get my hands on those headlights
Filip Prucnal 😂😂😂
@@filipprucnal gayyyyyyyyy
China working on it right now
Please release this man I want one
This proves that when a company makes a great design, they only have to modernize it to make it even better
I do think that will be a timeless design and look forward to seeing it another 20 yrs!
This is what my EK wants to be when it grows up. I would definitely be interested in that kit.
Love it. Same color has my 1998 DX Hatchback. VW was able to build the original beetle at their Mexican plant, decades after the fact, why can't Honda do the same for that 1998 Civic Hatchback. I'd snatch it up in a hart-beat. It'd be the ultimate finger against electrification and still happily fill up at the pumps. It'd be a the best example to show how the mechanical can hold its own.
Imagine if they brought back the 90s model just like this with some of the same technology in today's every day life
This is my kind of style-
90’s but with a touch of future
I'm glad that Honda seems to be aware what we loved about their 90s cars and worked on that.
Awesome and very clean build! :>
Basically looks like someone built it privately, just really really good (which is (sadly) a rare sight with civics...
When i saw it first on google,
I also thought that someone built it privately
I just don't like the tailights in this car
I always thought that it's just some god-like tier Photoshopping.
I love the ek civic hatch. I miss the one I had in the 90’s. I’d buy one of these if Honda produced them.
This would be so cool to see in production.
Wow, Honda never cease to impress! I got my first Honda last year, a Civic, and I am bowled over by the looks, the drive and the overall quality.
As a potential bodykit I actually really like it
My 1st car was a Civic Hatchback 99 Vogue Silver Metallic. Lasted me 18 years. Got rid of it because of the rust, the engine was still going strong.
Looking at this 20 years later, the body lines are among the best Honda ever produced. Simply timeless. Just check the number of people around the car. That means something.
In retrospective, I miss that car very much. It captured the spirit of Honda : reliable, simple and fun.
I would buy this one no question asked.
Where are all my 90’s street racers at! ☝️
🏎💨
ONTARIO CA!
Lovemy Family haha I got to be a flag man at 14 during that time on Pennsylvania and etiwanda they liked how I orchestrated the race lol but then 👮🏻♂️🚔 so they really didn’t let me much but people would ask where was I haha 😂 good times
Van Nuys
The digital instrument is a must have on EK9s
La habra CA!
It looks so good! You know, there's been this trend of bringing back older stuff that people liked, like older movies and video games. I can see it happening with cars too. If people don't like the new things that come out, then give them revamped, modernized versions of what they once loved.
Tbh, i am actually interested in this if it goes out...
its like a cyberpunk civic
0:51 almost gave me a heart attack! Phew...
This would sell like crazy here in the US.
I hope this brings in a new trend of aftermarket support
I’ve always loved Honda! I have no idea why people hate on them you can make them insanely fast if you wish. But stock you can just have a fair priced car that will run forever will little problems and is a smooth ride.
I would love for them the release the car just like this and maybe bring back affordable cars again with a tuning base
You know you're old when a 90's civic gets a resto-mod.
I like when he couldn’t find the exhaust pipe.
This civic made me a little nostalgic what a time capsule this is, if honda don't make this to production at least they should supply us with the parts for the aftermarket.
this looks so cool would love to buy one
I still come back to this video from time to time... And honestly I just want the gauge cluster of this concept to be in my EK
Need for speed underground music plays at the back of my head while watching this. I want to get an ek9 and do the same thing.
William Platt da da dum da da da da dum dum get low get low, to the window to the wall
Ryders on the storm.........Ryders on the storm.......
Return of the legend
I stand infront of my EK, close my eyes and imagine this car ❤️ I love my little hatch tho!!!
*_Damn… a modernized 1st generation type r… crazy 🥴_* 🔥
They should being this back as a limited edition.
nooo this should be a regular edition
Special edition
and thats why we cant have nice things
@Moe Green i mean people saying this should come as a special edition are like "here name it a special edition and charge me more idc" , this should just be a normal civic not some exclusive expensive edition
@Moe Green All that would take the original 90's flavor away...
Keep the EK Civic as it is.
This is so freakin cool!!! I saw this video a while back. Can't believe Honda has not pursued this!!!
Dam I thought this was real..imagine that 90's cars being revived ..wonder how the new popup headlights would be like
Cool cluster! But i prefer tail and head lights from 90's.
That lightning port would break the first time you accelerated lol.
why we cant buy this kit for our hondas?
Yoo this is lit bring back all the classics I’m waiting for them to do the Integra because mine is 20 years old at this point
So, what's the problem in it being 20 years old?
That's cool af!
Original 90's car!
Kev27RS the problem with a 20 year old car is that it runs like a 20 year old car compared to the new tech that goes into these modern cars. I love my integra but if you ride in a 2015 model or anything after you can feel the difference.
@@Gone999
Well, that's normal...
If you're into the modern stuff nowadays, you should buy a recent Civic Type-R.
I watched you close that door about 10 times, such a crisp sound, I wish my ek door would close and sound like that.
I definitely like this, the black and grey look is a good match.
How about Red & Black!
This is awesome, breathing new life into 90's style cars is the kind of trend we need especially with these JDM beauties,I hope it catches on.
I would love to see a body kit at least for a similar look, those mirrors look sick as well.
What if people use superior android phones?
@@eins2001 I'm in that boat as well, I'd try to use an aftermarket radio / mod the existing one to work with android
now I would definitely get that today
I just want that beautiful guage cluster, I'd love to have one fit for my Integra.
This is what I'm talking about. The car designs of the 90s aged very well. Beautiful simplistic designs that were symmetrical and clean. I wish it was possible to keep 90s design but revamp the interior with modern materials and tech.
I love that car they should sell the kit to build one
Legend is back!
If only they could still legally sell this chassis
Never have I ever wanted a honda, but I would honestly own this and be proud to drive it around.
*they should of put the new type R steering wheel on it*
NO
I want this car so bad
I personally would like the sedan version of this
I'm Greedyblahblah sedan??? 4d are ugly
Hell no
Everyone has their preferences. I just don't like Hacthbacks
Every day, I’m still regretting we sold my mom’s old EK9 with only 140k km on the clock and zero issues. That car put me through medschool. I should have never let it go
I love the classic design of this Civic. I really hope this car comes in a model that has less electronic features and has more road feel.
I hope we see a return to form of having small, light weight, simple cars with zippy engines.
It makes all the sense in the world. It would make the car cheaper, and the Les weight would help with fuel economy and acceleration feel(fun factor). Also hopefully a less complicated car would mean more reliable and easier to work on.
The ek9 civic body was a pretty timeless look to me ngl.
When you slammed the door I kinda cringed😂😂
I never thought about if a car manufacturer resurrected an old beloved design but with updates here and there to the exterior and interior. Those cars would FLY off the shelf.
The headlights, tail lights, and overuse of the "cheese grater" texture, kinda ruins it. Remove that stuff and you have a near-perfect modernization of this. I really would like this car.
okay if you take those away its back to being an old ek.
dvtc8u Fr lmaooo
This is how I picture my dream civic. Ek9 shell with modern interior.
*that's an old civic with a body kit, and new lights, lol*
Wow. Really.
You know.....I think you might be right...
I would buy it I love how it still has that nice old civic type r design but it was slightly updated
im surprise they let u go insode the car or even touch it
He has a ton of subscribers. It's promotion for Honda.
I really just love the aesthetics. They took what made this car special and made it into something attractive in today's standards.
Then only thing I really like is the cluster wow I’m getting it for mine.
Damn, that's a GREAT idea! Would LOVE to see Honda release these
