New Civic Type R

[JD]

Could have sworn there was a thread for this already, as I posted in it... oh well. Great creative from an ad man PoV (wrap around, may have to reload the page a few times), but looks bloody mean! Presume this will be some sort of Nismo kit, but great looking thing all the same...

Happily lease one of those...

I previously didnt like them but in that colour with that spec.

Yes, would.

Ooft.

a nissan nismo kit, on a honda civic type r? mugen.

Back end is a bit 'try hard look at me' though....

 

[H182]

The only thing I don't like about that is the massive rear wing. Prefer more subtle designs these days.

 

[Goodj]

Back end is a bit 'try hard look at me' though....

Clearly not low enough, or enough toys hanging off the rear tow eye.
or enough stickers.
or enough exhausts

It is beyond try-hard, but thats what those yoof ricers want I guess.

There's a billboard poster of this just down the road from my house,
I nearly rear ended the car in front looking at it and the only photo of it was this.

Certainly looks the part.

V-tec turbo. Its going to be insanely epic

Are you sure?

Civic Type R engines and specs


we know it’s targeting an output in excess of 276bhp and 400Nm of torque from the Type R’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.


Previous Honda Civic Type R models have used the unique VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine, which uses different camshaft profiles to produce extra power when it's needed. This new model should be quicker and more efficient than before, thanks to the new turbo engine, but the character of the car will be different this time around.

I agree. However VTEC + turbo would have been great.

 

[Dan]

Sounds rubbish going off the video at the ring!

 

[Gally]

Why are they using concept pictures to advertise a car that's not far away, the rear is now quite different. Love that bonnet vent if they keep it.

 

[Advikaz]

Might of liked this when I was 17.

 

[Addicted]

Here's the Euro Spec:

[_Tom]

That's rank

 

[Addicted]

Yep =[

 

[Fletcher]

As usual that looks nothing like the prototype.

 

[cat171]

Do not like!!

 

[George182]

It doesn't look much different from a regular civic?

 

[Gally]

That's not a type r, that's a special edition normal civic. http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/campaigns/2014/civic-blackspecialedition/

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah, was just about to say there's no mention of Type-R there.

No it isn't, for a start it's not black! And then the bumper is also different.

May not be a Type R, not sure, but that's the Euro styling - all I know .

 

[SC03OTT]

The one linked is the Civic Sport iirc.

 

[Gally]

Sorry I meant a Type s. Similar to the black edition.

 

[Rhino172]

The one linked is the Civic Sport iirc.

Correct.

Suposedly more info on the Type R will be available from Monday 29th Sept

 

[Addicted]

Ah :]

Well here's to hoping the R is a little less boring!

Doubt we'll see it exactly like the prototype though sadly.

 

[Martin_172]

one things for sure, it will go down with the youth as the ultimate, yet wont come close to the driver envolvement of a renaultsport!! just like the EP3

 

[Rhino172]

There's no confirmation that this is the real thing, apparently its a pre facelift civic with the new type r kit fitted.

 

[Ian_182]

I really hope they make it, it looks lovely.

 

[Gaz_]

Dunno that spoiler is too fast and furious imo?!

 

[Jaff.]

that interior looks shocking!

the radio/screen actually faces the passenger1

 

[Dave..]

Too many wings and far too shouty.

Understaded performance ftw.

Also, FWD sucks balls. Massive dinosaur balls.

 

[JCC]

It doesn't in real life.

That one posted is also a diesel. Or at least the interior shot is.

Its not gonna vary much though.

screen will still face the wrong way lol

 

[jam.]

That wing is ridiculous. I love it. The 'horn' effect from the brake lights it pretty nifty too.

I'm sure I saw an ad for this in the cinema the other day - so hasn't it been announced yet?


Ah it was the concept..

 

[Mr Burns]

Thing is... I think cars like these need to look aggressive and shouty. That's the type of car they are. I'd personally rather have the new Type-R over an Audi A3 any day of the week. (Providing the new Type-R is a good car, as I'm sure it will be!)
