A WCF reader has
sent us very revealing images of the production-spec Honda
Civic Type R.
It was only several hours ago when we posted an image
with the car partially hidden under a cover and now the wraps are off and we
get to take a closer look at the much awaited hot hatchback. As expected, it
doesn’t look as radical as the concepts
but nevertheless it has all the ingredients you would want from a high-powered
hatch such as the wide body with a prominent wing, a prominent diffuser,
muscular wheel arches and a quad exhaust system.
It rides on 19-inch glossy black alloy wheels with red
accents matching the brake calipers which on the front axle work with Brembo 350mm
drilled discs. Underneath the hood is a four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged
gasoline engine rated at more than 280 HP (206 kW) which will be enough for a top
speed of 167 mph (270 km/h).
The Honda Civic Type R will premiere on March 3 at the
Geneva Motor Show but a full online reveal could occur this weekend.
Special thanks go to WCF user DTM for sending us the pics!
