Honda has revealed the new Civic Type R Concept, it is expected to be officially revealed in Paris auto Show on Saturday. It is powered by a 2.0 litre i-VTEC petrol engine which can deliver more than 276Bhp and 406 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0-100kmph in less than six seconds. The engine is mated to a six speed manual transmission.
Civic Type R project leader Suehiro Hasshi said, “Honda has had four Type R model derivatives: the Civic, Integra, Accord and NSX. The engine in the new Civic Type R is unrivalled against all of them in terms of raw power, torque and engine response.”
The Type R is at its most extreme when a new ‘+R’ driving mode is engaged. Pressing the +R button next to the steering wheel improves engine responsiveness, tweaks the torque mapping to a more aggressive and performance-focused setting, increases the responsiveness of the steering and stiffens the adaptive dampers.
