SeriousGuy 2nd Gear July 29, 2013 Share July 29, 2013 Honda CEO Takanobu Ito has told Auto Express the Civic Type-R is still on track to go on sale sometime in 2015. We already know from Honda UK Managing Director Dave Hodgetts the car will offer at least 265 bhp (198 kW) but they are trying to squeeze around 300 bhp (224 kW).

Testing will begin this fall at the N ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER-3682 Twincharged July 29, 2013 Share July 29, 2013 (edited) N/A needs big C.C. to make high power,but under S'pore road tax system you need to pay alot of $$..Anyway,alot of good cars like Ferrari 458,Mercedes Benz SLS still used N/A. engines.....also my low end Nissan 370z,which still quite fun to drive.

Yuan 6th Gear July 30, 2013 Share July 30, 2013 Finally it is going to be back. I always like the Type R but the current batch has ran out of production by the time I wanted to change my car.
