So far Honda has just released a few pictures of the Civic Type R prototype which doesn't really give out much information about the upcoming hot hatchback. What we know so far is that the new Type R will have a large spoiler at the back and a triple tip exhaust. An aggressive body kit all-around and larger wheels are expected as well. Stiffer suspensions and a reinforced chassis will be offered as well.

The engine will be an all-new unit, most likely a newly developed 2.0-litre boosted motor. The gearbox on offer will be a three-pedal manual for the purists, and expect a dual-clutch automatic as well which will definitely be faster than the manual one! We’re expecting the power figure to be in the range of 300-340bhp, and all of that will be forwarded to the front wheels.
