Coming Soon.... 2015 Honda Type R

[acsmyth]

Gotta say...I've never been a fan of any Type R (blasphemy) but that looks the dogs bollocks.

Wooah

Although it won't be to a lot of folks tastes, I love it. There will be no mistaking it for the rest of the civic range, unlike a lot of other hatches at the moment (m135i and AMG a45 look a lot like their sport equivs). I REALLY hope it drives well - that's the clincher - if it can add a taste of compliancy to the ride quality then it could be a result. The wild looks will undoubtedly shrink its market though.

the rear end is torsion beam based and is largely carried from the previous generation but there has been considerable work done on the FWDS with elecy diffs etc all coming on board. the car has different modes for ride with type r being extreme setting so likely provide some come compromises than the previous gen did not.

certainly a step in the right direction, and the company has to get it right

When are they due for sale...?

 

[nobby]

Next year, would have been this year only HUK was more focused in delivering the new Civic Tourer. Hopefully the extra time will deliver something special

Looks very aggressive

There's talk also of a mid-engined S2000 replacement coming, which will have the same basic engine as found in this CTR but in a higher state of tune (350bhp or so). If correct that would show the tuning potential of the engine itself

Looks ugly at the back. Production model should look a lot better

 

[bluntcap]

There's gonna be 2 production models from what I've been told. A 'normal' CTR and then a Nurburgring edition.

[gcon45]

Still FF / FWD?

 

[PeteMoore]

Need three door imo

Nah, i need a good excuse to own one, the missus can't complain cos it's a 4-door hatch

 

[BobSpounge]

That rear spoiler or whatever the hell it is looks awful.

Just another reason for me to hate modern car design.

 

[st6phen]

wonder what sort of money they'll be?

 

[tomah]

The dog might still have a complaint though

~ £30k

turbocharged 2 litre, FWD - ~280hp

Angry and in your face, still a prettier car than the Mk2 Focus RS

Mother of God, That rear end looks awesome. This is the only Honda that has appealed to me since the EK shape.
