New Type R pics - Looks Production ready

[HorneyMX5]

These were posted on a Civic forum I use. They look geniune and the base car is certainly the current gen Civic. Looks immense if I'm honest.

Good from the front, ok from the side, nasty from the rear!

[Dr G]

It wouldn't be a real Type R if it had rear visibility

[vtecyo]

Looks fantastic.

I wonder who will be the first to put one of the engines in an EG / EK...

ETA: Naff wheels though.

Agree, looks like something from the era of 2 Fast 2 Furious at the rear.


They've done well to blend the rear doors in

[Alucidnation]

Oh No!!

Its got four tailpipes!!!

[Studio117]

Fingers crossed they gave the engine some character and a few revs to differentiate them from the other bland turbo powerplants.

So well in fact, that I hadn't even noticed the rear doors until you posted that!

Far too many spoilers and exhausts for me.

[Amirhussain]

I think that looks immense.

Feel very sorry for the poor chavs; how are they meant to ruin it with stupid aftermarket spoilers and fake exhausts now?

Loving the flared wheel arches with vents.

Disappointed that it's a 1.6 turbo but I'll need to drive it to make any real judgement. I love my K20 far too much.

Will certainly be booking a test drive.

e: Agree about the exhausts. Single pipes either side would have been fine.

Not going to be cheap, I guess, but looks the part. Would have to be black for the Batman image....

[lamboman100]

Looks a bit chavvy and unsophisticated. But as long as it makes that awesome VTEC howl, that is all that matters.

[JustADay]

Is that really two sets of DRLs? Compliments the 4 exhaust tips I suppose...

It's a 2 litre turbo and they're talking about up to 340bhp!

Well it looks good, and it's doubtlessly going to be fast, but critcally, are any of these new hot hatches really fun?

I can tell you the M135i, S3, Golf GTi Mk7 and A45 aren't for a start. Tried them all. All very competent but really quite po faced. i hope this has some DC2 Integra genes buried deep inside it, rather than FN2.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Love it!

[caymanbill]

that whale tail stuck on the back looks completely naff. would be so bad if it just went up to the middle slat but then i guess that wouldn't be vulgar enough for the target demographic.
