Honda Civic Type R adopts extreme look

THE new Honda Civic Type R, which is due for launch next year, is described by its design team as “racing car for the road.”
The hot-hatch concept adopts extreme styling with a rear wing incorporating brake lights.
Power will come from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, making this the first forced-induction Type R ever. The new Type R promises 280HP sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
The Civic Type R is the performance version of the Civic and features lighter and stiffer body, specially tuned engine and upgraded chassis and brakes.
A concept model will be displayed at the Geneva Motor Show providing the styling direction for the exterior design of the highly-anticipated production version that debuts in 2015.
Its bold and expressive styling reflects the strong performance characteristics for which Type R is renowned.
