In April this year, Honda announced the 11th generation of civics, launching two body models, Sedan and Hatch, followed by the addition of Si sport models in October. As for the top performance version of the Type R that Honda fans are most looking forward to, the original factory also released two test photos of the camouflage prototype during this time, and now it is further confirmed that the new Civic Type R will be unveiled at the Tokyo Modified Auto Show from January 14 to 16, 2022.
With the release of Civic Type R images for the second time, even if the details are still hidden under the camouflage car stickers, several identification points are still revealed to everyone. First, it's not surprising that the Civic Type R is based on hatch models. The oversized rear wing, slightly exaggerated rear wing, and the three-out end pipe in the center of the rear bumper all have something in common with the previous generation version.
In addition to this, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 performance tires, red Brembo brake calipers... And so on, it is also a very conspicuous performance embellishment on the prototype car. However, it should be noted that after all, Honda's exposure is still a test prototype, and it is still unknown whether the production version will still use the same bead and braking system.
After all, the Tokyo Modified Auto Show is not the premiere of the Mass Production Version of the Civic Type R, which means that the prototype test car is still basically on site. And Honda said that there will still be special camouflage on the car, and it will not be staged in a completely undisguised state, and the exact release time of the real mass production version of the new car next year is still undetermined. However, the original factory has revealed that the 11th generation Civic Type R will be the most powerful version ever.
However, it is understood that the power system should not be significantly changed, such as the application of e:HEV oil and electricity power and other changes. The most likely approach would be to use the previous generation's 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine. The original 10th generation Civic Type R has a maximum horsepower of 306 horses, and since the overhaul claims to be the most powerful, it is expected that the power output will be on top of this.
