Honda Civic Type R Concept to hatch in Geneva - Autoblog

Quote:

As if the Geneva Motor Show isn't exciting enough, now we have word that a new version of a certain iconic Japanese hot hatch will make an appearance there in a few weeks time. Honda has announced that its Civic Type R Concept will be revealed during the show's media days, which take place March 4 and 5.

Since this is Honda we're talking about, we should point out that the "Concept" part of the Civic Type R's name is usually a bit of a misnomer. For the past few years, the Japanese automaker has made a habit of attaching "Concept" to the end of several near-production models in the name of drumming up auto show excitement (see Exhibits A, B, C, D and E). So really, this is almost certainly the next Civic Type R, a car we've kind of already driven.

The latter car was a "development" model, but we aren't expecting a lot to change between it and the production model. As previously reported, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged engine should deliver north of 280 horsepower to the front wheels via a six-speed gearbox. Have a look up top at the sole image of the hot Civic released by Honda, and then scroll down for the official press release.

2x dual exhaust my ass.

2.0L turbo sounds promising but I don't dig on the styling at all.

Make this thing Rwd or Awd or I am not interested. If I can't get this thing sideways or it's just boring to drive. Like a turbo EG hatch, what is the point.

:heckno: no thanks..

Why don't you just leave and never comeback :moderatorban:

concepts are always designed to be more outlandish than the production model, im hoping it dosnt turn out like the 8th gens and look all hybrid/Prius like.. :( cmon honda..

i think its a step in the right direction.. if we even get it

Looks pretty cool.

Yeah, 30 years ago. Cars always get bigger/more powerful with each generation, to try and entice new buyers. The Fit (and equivalents) are the new Civics

why can't the north american civic be more like this :failed:

hope they keep the devil horns wing/taillight design...lose the livery and it looks pretty good
i think it's safe to say we wont see this in NA
wonder what the kerb weight is

So close to 54K for a civic according to the video. That seems way to much.
