Based on the the new Civic 3-door which will appear too in Europe later this year, the Civic Type R Concept adopts the bold styling of the widely acclaimed 5-door hatchback version. The additional spoilers, the newly styled bumpers with bigger air vents and the huge alloys give the prototype the needed street-race look that anyone expects from a car of this category. Power comes from Honda's 200 PS 2.0-litre, DOHC i-VTEC unit, the same high-rev engine as used in the out-going model. It’s got the looks and its sure got the power, lets all pray that will be as exciting to drive at as it is to look at. The production version, like its predecessor, will be assembled at Honda's plant in Swindon, England
