Honda Civic Type R at Geneva 2006

Honda will showcase a concept model of the new Honda Civic Type R at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. AutoExpress says contrary to speculation, the Civic Type R will not have a new 2.2 litre engine. The powerplant will remain the same 2.0 litre i-VTEC high-revving monster dishing out aural orgasms wherever it goes, as long as you keep the revs high.

AutoExpress says the hot hatchback will typically take on similiar bodykits to the Mugen Civic Dominator, but in hatchback form so it’s all good. The concept will not be a production model, but you will be able to have a glimpse of the final bodykit which will be slapped on the mean high-revving machine.

In the meanwhile, check out this excellent ad Honda has for the European market Civic hatchback. As with all Honda ads, it’s good. Remember the i-CTDi diesel ad and the Honda Accord ad?

    Paul, you posted the wrong picture of all-new Civic Type R.

    plus, the new Type R will be powered by a 2.2L engine, delivering the same 197bhp as original.

    I don't have pictures of the Type R that is unwatermarked. Watermarked images mean that the owner of the pictures don't really welcome anyone else using it. So I used one of the older ones.

    And AutoExpress says it will be using 2.0 instead of the rumoured 2.2. AutoExpress news is dated 8th Feb 06, while the AutoCar feature was 24th January. I think I trust the newer news.
