Honda did not reveal the long awaited Civic Type R, but did reveal a little more about this car that is to be on the market from 2015. Manabu Nishimae, President, Honda Motor Europe revealed this hot hatchback will be powered by a turbocharged 2- liter engine that generates at least 280PS (206kW or 276bhp).
The Japanese car manufacturer believes this more than enough to become the fastest front wheel drive car around the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Testing has already begun at the Nurburgring and they are very close to that record, and will 2 years of development still ahead of them, they might just do it.
