And this Civic really is ‘worldwide’.
Having recently gone to the trouble of building a 306bhp 2.0-litre turbo VTEC powerplant, the new Type R will use that engine. Though we suspect it will be a little uprated to keep pace with the likes of the 345bhp Ford Focus RS, and to give it an edge over the Golf (and perhaps other rivals) for that lap time.
You’ve probably noticed the looks, however. “The design is all in the pursuit of performance,” the Type R’s designer, Daisuke Tsutamori, told TG. “All of the design features have a function, and this is as close to a production car as is possible.”
Amen and a-women!
