HONDA
Civic & Civic Type R
Wider, longer, and lower than any of its
predecessors, the tenth-generation Civic has
short overhangs and taut lines that reference
the high levels of aerodynamic efficiency. A
sharp and aggressive ‘face’, pronounced
wheel-arches and sculpted front and rear intakes hint at the Civic’s sporting character. The
all-new Civic hatchback is the first model in
Europe to offer Honda’s 1.0 litre three-cylinder
and 1.5 litre four-cylinder gasoline turbocharged engines. Both engines will be available
with either a newly-designed six-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic.
Based on the low and wide proportions of
the new Civic hatchback, the Type R Prototype
is enhanced by muscular body styling and modifications to aid aerodynamic performance.
The exterior is clothed in a highly reflective,
finely-grained brushed aluminium-effect finish
unique to the show car.
