Honda Civic Type-R to get 2.0 turbo engine (300bhp+)

[20832]

Am I the only one who thinks that this looks photoshopped? Just look at the exhaust pipes...

The worldcarfans article even questioned the authenticity of the "Type-R" that was spotted, and judging by comparison against real development prototypes, it's most likely a fake.

The bonnet/hood vents look drawn on .

Wow that entire rear end and side decal is just awful

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

It's stupid and I love it.

 

[VXR]

I'm guessing the decal and red trim is just to make it a concept in the loosest sense. Championship White body and wheels with a simple red H would suit me fine.

I gotta admit it looks good. But it's still FWD.

 

[catamount39]

Dang! That's a Civic I wouldn't mind driving.

 

[RocZX]

The red line in the front lip spoiler and rear looks the Nismo like....

 

[ImaRobot]

I like that, actually. If they can keep it similar to that I would be fine with it. @VXR I totally agree with you although, those rims, I'm not sure about.

So I see the line where the rear door is supposed to be, but no rear door handle?

They made it like in FD RX-7. Take a closer look.

The rear door handle is there, the positioning in the black trim camouflages it.

EDIT: Circled where the door handle is.

It's hidden in the back of the rear door's window.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Ooohhhh, there it is.

I'd still buy an NSX first tho for the kind of bling they'll ask for it.

That looks insane.

I'll take two.

That looks extremely tacky. It's so much better in plain red.

 

[Grayfox]

That looks insane.

I'll take two.

North America gets the Si Coupe design from 2005 as the "new" civic.

 

[05XR8]

This is the closest mass produced car today that looks the closest to its touring car stablemate.

 

[Cano]

Minus the fade-out decal, I'd blast one every damned day, just as it is, funky blue included. It looks insane.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Rumor has it the US will see the Type-R engine in a non-hatchback form.

[Leonidae@MFT]

That's because apparently coupes sell better than hatchbacks in US.

 

[Clark]

Well they've always sold the Civic Si coupe as opposed to a Type R hatch so there's got to be a reason.

I never really thought hatches are likes that much over there.

We did get an Si hatchback for a few years.

 

[Clark]

I think we got that aswell as the Civic S Sport.

I gotta admit it looks good. But it's still FWD.

And you're still goofy

 

[YSSMAN]

I thought the article I read on Jalopnik was implying that the 2.0T would be going in either a Civic Coupe, or possibly, the CR-Z. If its the CR-Z, hot damn, sign me up now.

 

[JMoney]

And you're still goofy

With the Golf R400 coming out I don't care at all about this thing now. With the Golf you get two more driven wheels and 100 more horsepower (and German engineering); even if you're a FWD fan you have to admit the Golf R400 should be superior.
