Honda will be showcasing the new Honda Civic Type R Concept model throughout the weekend. This Concept model points to the exterior styling direction of the highly-anticipated new Type R production model that will be launched in Europe in 2015.
Described by the design team as a 'racing car for the road' rather than a high performance version of a road car, the new Type R looks set to signal a new era for the marque – with the most extreme Civic Type R yet. The sleek and aerodynamic profile reflects a car designed for performance whilst maintaining the look of a road car and the distinctive character of Type R.
Honda will be lining up the concept model with the current WTCC Honda Civic racing cars to show how the cars have influenced the design of the new Civic Type R Concept model.
