Independent artist Wild Speed has turned the Honda
Civic Coupe concept into a fully-fledged Type R model.
Honda
took us by surprise at the beginning of the month when
they took the wraps off a Civic Coupe concept which previews the tenth
generation of the model due later this year in United States. They also
said a
Type R version will be commercialized stateside but they didn't specify
whether it will a five-door hatch like the one sold in Europe. We do
know the regular all-new Civic will be available in sedan, coupe,
hatchback and Si flavors which will be followed by the range-topping
Type R
model.
Wild Speed designed to turn the Civic Coupe concept into a
Type R model by applying a more aggressive body and installing a quad exhaust
system with the tips installed in the middle similar to those on the
Corvette Stingray. The white body is combined with some red accents on the
lower sections of the car and wheels matched with red badges and brake
calipers.
We remind you the Euro-spec
Civic Type R hatchback packs a 310 PS punch from a four-cylinder 2.0-liter
turbocharged gasoline engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. It rockets to
62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and will keep on accelerating until 167 mph
(270 km/h).
