Here it is, the eagerly awaited Honda Civic Type-R Concept that will be presented next week in Geneva. This Concept should be very similar to the production 3-door version. In the Type-R and in this yellow livery it resembles a bad-ass car out the Mugen shop more than a “factory” Honda.
I guess this version will put to rest once and for all Top Gear’s saying that only old people buy Hondas in Europa, nowadays.
The concept has the 200 ps 2.0 liters i-VTEC engine of the previous Type-R. We still don’t know it the production Type-R will have the same engine.

And besides, here in America we have the Civic Si coupe AND (next up) sedan versions… with a 2.0L 197hp engine… I guess the hatch body styles will not make it though.
