New 2015 Honda Civic Type-R Scooped in the Flesh and Teased in Official Video
Quad exhaust tips; Check. Bloated fenders; Check. Big rear wing; Check. Grippy, low profile tires; Check. Brembo brakes; Check. As you can see, there's no question that this hotted up Honda prototype is indeed the upcoming Civic Type-R.
Our last encounter with the Honda's VW Golf GTI / R and Ford Focus ST challenger may have been kind of a letdown since the Japanese brand's engineers were merely testing the hot hatch's mechanicals on the body of a normal five-door Civic, but this time, we've snagged the actual car testing both on open road and on the Nürburgring. Interestingly, there was an older gen Ford Focus RS and a current Opel Astra OPC (Vauxhall Astra VXR) tagging along.
And if that's not enough, Honda itself just published a teaser video in which it announces that the Civic Type R is coming, without actually showing the car. "We hope you're just as excited about the new Civic Type R as we are, why not watch the teaser film and take the Quiz to get access to exclusive content from the Frankfurt Motor Show - including the full length film as soon as it's LIVE," reads Honda's release.
