  • Honda Unveils Civic Type R Concept [VIDEO]

    Honda-Civic-Type-R-Concept-THUMBValentine’s Day saw the first teaser image of the brand new Honda Civic Type R Concept. Now the world can see the rest of it – the car is currently being exhibited at the Geneva Salon and shows the styling direction for the anticipated new production Type R. The latter is set to debut in Europe during 2015.

    The concept model has been described as a ‘racing car for the road’. It has a sleek and aerodynamic profile, which reflects a car designed for performance whilst keeping the look of a road car and the distinctive character of Type R.

    The exterior styling of the model shows also the performance credentials of the Type R Concept. The elements contributing for this are the shape and angle of the stand-out rear spoiler, enlarged upper and lower front grilles, air outlets on the bonnet, widened front and rear fenders and 20-inch tyres.

    Performance details haven’t been announced officially so far. However, Honda stated that the new Type R will be the first model in Europe to be equipped with VTEC TURBO engines from the Earth Dreams Technology range. The two-litre, direct injection, four-cylinder turbo is expected to deliver class-leading output of at least 280 hp (205 kW).

    At the show, the brand also showcases the powertrain layout of the next generation 2015 NSX and its next generation Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) Concept.

  • Honda Civic Type R Concept at Geneva Motor Show

    Honda will exhibit several interesting concepts at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. These include Civic Type R Concept, FCEV Concept and NSX Concept.

    The Type R Concept model boasts futuristic design and strong performance characteristics. The highly-anticipated production version is expected to hit the market in 2015, dubbed by the design team as a “racing car for the road”.

    Further underlining Honda’s leadership in the development of advanced technology, the FCEV Concept makes its first European appearance. Sleek and aerodynamic, the Concept points to the potential styling direction of Honda’s next-generation fuel cell electric vehicle which launches in the U.S. and Japan in 2015, followed by Europe.

    The new NSX supercar will showcase the longitudinal, V6 direct-injected engine with twin turbocharging alongside Honda’s innovative 3 motor Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive™) hybrid system.

    Trivia of the day: did you know that the Civic is among the best-selling used cars of 2013 in the US? With 336,180 units changing hands, no wonder Honda are gearing up for a new generation.
