Japanese carmaker Honda has teased its Civic Type-R concept ahead of its global debut at the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show. The company will also unveil the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) Concept, the powertrain layout of the new NSX and the 2014 Civic World Touring Car Championship race car.
The current Civic Type-R is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that develops 200PS and 192Nm of torque. Weighing just 1338kg, the vehicle claimed to cross 100kmph mark from zero on just 6.4 seconds. Power is transmitted to front wheels via a six-speed gearbox. It is expected that the new generation model will be faster than the current Type-R.
According to Honda, the new Civic Type R will provide the styling direction for the exterior design of the highly anticipated production version that debuts in 2015. Dubbed by the design team as a ‘racing car for the road,’ its bold and expressive styling reflects the strong performance characteristics for which Type R is renowned.
