At the Tokyo Modified Auto Show earlier this year, we saw for the first time a prototype of the eleventh-generation Civic TYPE R. As a classic horizontal platform small steel cannon, the relevant news of the car has always been the focus of attention of fans and friends, and various hardcore official kits have also become the "template" for the civil modification of the domestic Civic/Style.

Judging from the exhibition car, this Civic TYPE R is as always based on the body of the Civic HATCHBACK (hatchback version or hatchback version), and the rear part shows a more obvious sneakback shape than the domestic sedan version, and the tailgate is also a hatchback design, which looks shorter and more concise.

Although the prototype was camouflaged, its strong combat atmosphere can still be felt from the exposed exterior details, such as the front grille and air intakes have been changed to a black mesh design, with a lower lower surround, more emphasis on the aerodynamic performance of high-intensity driving.

At the same time, the car is also equipped with a more lightweight multi-width forged wheel design, the internal brake discs and brake calipers are also larger, and the black spokes + red calipers are also more visually impactful.

From the rear, the new car adopts a very personal mid-three-out exhaust, with independent rear tail, rear diffuser and through taillights, the same sense of combat is full.

According to foreign media, the new generation of Civic TYPE R will continue to be equipped with the classic Honda K20 2.0T in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine, after retuning its maximum power or reach 320 horsepower, as a classic steel gun, the 6-speed manual transmission is still "basic operation" for this car.
