Production Honda Civic Type R Pictures Leaked Ahead Of Geneva
Good news for fans of fast Japanese cars, and/or people who are impatient: we’re getting our first look at the new Honda Civic Type R early.
The production version of the tenth-generation Civic-based Type R isn’t supposed to be revealed until Tuesday at the Geneva Motor Show, but a pair of relatively low resolution images have let the cat out of the bag early. And what they show is what we’ve all been expecting: the production model is damn near identical to the prototype that debuted at the Paris Motor Show last year.
Unless there are any further leaks, we’ll have to wait until the first Geneva press day to get the full details. We’re anticipating an evolution of the 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four found in the outgoing Type R packing even more power and driving the front wheels exclusively. Unlike the last few Civic Type Rs, it’ll have fully independent rear suspension.
Roll on next Tuesday…

This is exactly the same as the concept but it’s white. Don’t think Honda will be losing sleep about the leak
Type R has always been white no surprise
Will it also have more V-TEC that can kick in yo?
I’m pretty sure the CVT can help with keeping the engine within that range!

Really not feeling the triple exhausts
Literally the only thing I can’t stand about it. I bet the centre one is fake
It would really help if the middle one was the same size as the other two.
Well people are gonna change those exhausts anyways, whether they look decent or not, so.. yeah..
I swear by the time Geneva comes we’d already known what there gonna behttps://www.carthrottle.com/post/7-cars-with-awesome-2-valve-engines/?utm_source=carthrottle-related&utm_medium=content-rec
I mean, the front looks okay, but the rear… Compare that to the sleekness of an EK9
Oh, the 90’s… 😢
Best Civic by far. (Best car in general, imo xD)
This is the problem to cars nowadays, all have started to become the face of Optimus Prime. Lots of try-hard lines and contours.
I wish they just copied the looks of the EK9. One of the best, yet simplest designs
Seen the ordinary one where I work and it’s really weird looking, can’t imagine this being any easier on the eyes. Kinda looks like they styled the front using a picture of a Dodge Charger, the rear with a picture of a Lykan Hypersport and filled the middle with bits of Honda 😄😄
Lot of leaks today
Whoah F40’s exhaust!!!
And i can’t imagine this as a ricer.. stock is impressive :)
