THE CIVIC TYPE R CONCEPT
The practical nature of the current Civic Type R made it a car for everyday driving, yet one that just as equally delivers instant performance, plus fun handling, on demand. That dual personality thrilled over 35,000 customers, far exceeding initial sales forecasts during its relatively short production run.

Last year Honda announced it is to build a successor, and while the previous model is a tough act to follow, the credentials of the Civic Type R Concept which makes its world debut at Geneva, suggests that the new car will attract a whole new wave of enthusiasts.
Bold and emotional styling is teamed up with a development of the previous Type R's race-proven, high-revving pedigree DOHC i-VTEC engine. 200 PS delivered from a capacity of 2.0 liters without resorting to a turbocharger defined the character of the old model and will equally define the character of its spiritual successor. The promise then is of a performance hatchback that will be as exciting to drive as it will be to look at when it goes on sale at the beginning of 2007.

A new 3-door version of the Civic, which shares DNA with this Type R Concept model, will go on sale in Europe later this year. It makes use of many of the styling themes that have brought such wide praise for the recently introduced Civic 5-door.

Civic Type R and the rest of the Civic 3-door range, will be exclusively built alongside the Civic 5-door range at the Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) plant in Swindon.

im still not liking the rear too much but the overall package is nice. i wish they wouldve upped the engine output instead of using the same engine as the previous generation.

i really dont think I like it..it'll have to grow on me

Clone · #10 (**permalink**) March 8th, 2006, 08:35 PM

yeah I dunno...

it's not bad I guess.

Not diggin how they made the headlamps and taillamps flush with the front grill/back and go all across the car like that... I dont like that much...

but the rest of it is pretty cool.

I mean, obviously it's a concept, so if they made it into production it'd be a little different...

not much differentiating our Civic Si and the Type R except the 2 door Coupe to 3 door liftback. But the underpinning is a different story, everything in the suspension/brakes has been upped a notch. Notice the nice Brembos, I believe they will make it to the production model. Don't like that the power has not been upped but the suspension/brake package should more than make up though.

specbb6 · #17 (**permalink**) March 9th, 2006, 02:02 PM

It's too bulky, and the rear end is ugly as hell.

agreed. i think the headlights look too fragile....i wish they were bolder.

98CivicEK · #19 (**permalink**) March 9th, 2006, 03:15 PM

The front is ok with me. the edges of the lips are a bit much though, if they were less agressive it would look better. and i'm glad its a concept and they change the rear end casue it needs some work
