New Civic Type-R at Geneve

Just_me · 02-23-2006, 12:59 PM

If you driven the old one with 200hp and highreeving engine you know its a fun car. This new one look hot too.

Exclusive preview of Honda’s new 3door 200 hp Civic Type R Concept

Making its worldwide debut at the 76th Geneva Motor Show, Honda’s new Civic Type R Concept is not just another prototype, as it strongly hints at what the production car will look like when it reaches the European market towards the end of the year.

Based on the the new Civic 3-door which will appear too in Europe later this year, the Civic Type R Concept adopts the bold styling of the widely acclaimed 5-door hatchback version. The additional spoilers, the newly styled bumpers with bigger air vents and the huge alloys give the prototype the needed street-race look that anyone expects from a car of this category. Power comes from Honda's 200 PS 2.0-litre, DOHC i-VTEC unit, the same high-rev engine as used in the out-going model. It’s got the looks and its sure got the power, lets all pray that will be as exciting to drive at as it is to look at. The production version, like its predecessor, will be assembled at Honda's plant in Swindon, England

The more I see the new Civic, the more I dislike the retrofuturistic design. But hey, at least they're trying.

Hope it will be at least as good as previous Rs.

I love them. The previous Civics had to be the most bland things on the road, and it didn't help the design when you could plainly see the rear suspension.
