This particular 2022 FE Honda Civic RS could be the very first 11^th-generation Civic globally to wear a safety car suit, as PT Honda Prospect Motor prepped this particular unit in conjunction with the 2022 Mandalika Track Day in Indonesia.

Apart from its customary attention-grabbing sticker job, this particular Civic safety car also gets orange strobe lights on the roof – customary for any safety car.

Yusak Billy, Business Innovation and Sales & Marketing Director of PT Honda Prospect Motor explained that the Civic was chosen as a safety car due to its sporty character that matches its racing pedigree.
