The 2015 Honda Civic Type R has been partially revealed in a cool new promotional video, which you can watch in full below. Looks mighty fine, doesn’t it?
Yes, while we won’t ignore the fact that the car in question wears a “Type R Concept” model plate, and that the front bumper matches that of the earlier show car (with an underside LED strip) rather than the production version (normal round foglamps), it does show the upcoming hot hatch’s production-spec LED headlights.
It has already been confirmed earlier that the 2015 Civic Type R will have a 270 km/h top speed, with a direct injected 2.0 litre VTEC TURBO engine with between 280 to 300 PS to get it there. It’s also known that it’ll have a flat underside, a functional rear diffuser and a bespoke rear wing alongside 19-inch alloy wheels over 350 mm cross-drilled Brembo brakes.
The final version will debut at next month’s 2015 Geneva Motor Show, wearing the iconic Championship White colour scheme. We can hardly wait.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Thats why the Japs still rule when it comes to cars. Some of the worlds best sports cars are all created by the japs.
Korea cant even get a Cerato right let alone build a sportscar. Thats why Korea is still lagging far behind when it comes to cars
Civic altis are less luxurious than cerato, accessoeies and power wise. Japs are left behind
Get your fact right
evora 400 just launched. surprisingly no news here.
This year, new Type R, new Ford GT, new Evora, new Cayman TT.
Probably all of them will feature in same a car shoot out.

I agree, the worlds best sports cars are all created by japs….In the 90s.
But right now? Erm…Nissan GTR……Honda NSX…AND THATS IT.
Just because you can’t afford the 86, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
It didn’t win “Top Gear 2012 car of the year” out of nothing.
See how Honda doing with Mclaren with the turbo charged engine in F1. Well, they alway place no.1 in testing, but sorry it is counted from the back…..
Can’t expect much from this Ah Beng car. If you drive a conti, you won’t look back to Jap….
Still an ah beng low-class rice car. Even a Golf GTI is way, way classier than this junk
I love how you arrived at a conclusion for a car that hasn’t even been made yet. Can you predict 4d number also?
Conclusion to what? Low class is low class. Just like by looking at Proton Juara, you know it’s low class with bad styling. You look at this junk, you know that no one driving it will be taken seriously. For 80% of the non-petrolhead drivers on the road, they might know even know the difference between this ricemobile with an ugly modified Satria Neo
First of all, the Proton Juara exists, the 2015 civic type R doesnt. Secondly comparing a economy minivan to a hatchback is ridiculous.
Thirdly, you call rice as if there arent any riced golfs out there, you think i haven’t seen some poor fool sticking a GTi badge on his base golf? Or putting an R bodykit on his regular GTi, because that would somehow magically make his car go faster.
Also, i can’t recall when was the last time i saw the mk5 and mk6 golf on the road? What happened to all of them?
They used to be everywhere, i guess the owners just got fed up with their toilet paper reliability and sold them.
Go to mudah or carlies, and you can find golfs with barely even 10,000km already being sold. Meanwhile FD2 Type R owners already pushing past 100,000km no problem at all. Also the FD2 will crush the golf on a track ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, it is a far more capable platform than the golf will ever be. Nuff said.
Civic FD Type R.. This new Type R.. both still ah beng cars, same as CRZ. Just look at the styling, you know only ah bengs will drool, especially with ugly Mugen kits tacked on
Wow its amazing how you would think a Golf is a classy car… In Europe it is the equivalent of the Myvi here or quite frankly a peoples car. Not so classy like what you think.

Get ur fact dude, oh btw, I own a MK6 R, I don’t that so call “far more capable platform” can out run my ride.
That’s the whole point! The Golf GTI is an “everyman’s car” that’s just plain and boring, but it’s classier than this piece of junk!
your comment suite your name…. DonkeyKong
Golf sui kwan and kwai tai.
No RV oso
Huh? GTI is a classy car? I certainly would not call a GTI a classy car. I owed an MK 6 for awhile, sold it due to rattling, buzzing and knocking sound…not to mention the cheap plastic and poor quality.
For sure you have low standards…..
If someone tells you “You’re dumber than a mentally retarded person”, does it mean that mentally retarded people are intelligent?
Golf GTI is most unreliable hot hatch up to date . My neighbours gti end up at workshop few times and he got myvi for weeks hmm
Yup. VW are crappy, but ah beng vehicles are crappier than VWs
ini barang mana ada masuk malaysia.. 1st world country saja ada ini barang.. malaysia harus tunggu recond saja la.. malaysia is 3rd world country maa..
Funny how people forget that Malaysia is the only country outside of Japan to officially sell the FD2R Civic Type R.
Granted that there are a bunch of recond FD2Rs on the road, but Honda Malaysia managed to sell a lot of the official FD2R here.
Not bad for a 3rd world country,eh?
Not saying this one will enter our market officially, just saying that the previous one did.
Honda is doing great! Except for Honda Malaysia.
just can’t imagine someone in a suit pulling up infront of the ritz in this car unlike the Golf or A45 or even the Megane. It’s a bit too boy racer.
Ah bengs can’t tell crap from shine. The same ah bengs who plaster up their Vios and Myvi with ugly stickers are the ones who will drool over this low-class rice-mobile
Will this be available in Malaysia? I plan to trade in my old jalopy (E46 325i) for a fun car like the Type-R.
OMG, fun car? You mean got rattles here and there?
As for a japs 4 bangers toy, the Impreza is hard to beat. This is a races boy wanna be. Probably cost around the same price range as the German counterparts, then the Golf R might be a better choice or fork out a bit more for for the AMG’s.
Looks promising!
Makes me feel really sick knowing that Honda Malaysia will never bring this car in to sell. So, are we all really 3rd class in a 3rd world country and don’t deserve the better quality things..like even the type of Euro 2 petrol that we are still only using? Why isn’t our country improving?
Honda Msia did sell civic FD Type R oficially here..no??
Korean is 10years behind Jap. Beautiful from outlook but when come to stability, respond and built, u will feel instantly on the road.
More like 100 years… shouldnt compare lowlife koreans with Japanese
And most of all, kimchis have no RV
Boring… Not much different from previous one. Another money loosing project for Honda. Don’t believe? See how Honda suffer in F1 this year.
The future mother in laws would not be happy if one turns up in that Type R. It encapsulates wild- sperm behaviour
Reading some of the comments here, I can’t understand why people easily talk trash about the Type-R for no apparent reason, comparing it to contis & others…
I like performance contis myself – Golf Gti, BMW M3, etc…these legends have pedigree and backed-up by years of motor racing history, no different to Honda…
(Honda is one of the pioneer names in F1 since the 80s…developing innovative technologies that go into their road cars). And like many performance icons the Type-R badge brings a lot of excitement and smiles to its loyal fans for almost two decades…
So for those want sheer comfort, luxury and all the trimmings/or just hate for the sake of hating…don’t worry – this no-nonsense, track-focused, 2-litre VTEC Turbo is happily not the car for you…which just leaves the rest of us to work even harder, and hopefully one day get to finally own and fully enjoy this reborn legend once more…peace
There is a high tendency for some to bash cars they cannot afford…sigh… same like how a guy talks bad about a girl who snubbed him..
Who said cannot afford? Bimmer 320i e90 58k
Even cheaper than junk Vios / Myvi
alaaahh sembang sembang kencang itu ini bagus la tak bagus la, tukar minyak enjin pun hantar workshop jugak pasal tak pandai.
