When Honda unveils a new sports concept there is always a sense of anticipation and the new Civic Type R is no exception.
To please all its fans, Honda engineers have designed a 'superhatch' to deliver blistering performance from the same power output as the previous incarnation (200ps).
The aggressive, lower and wider-looking body encases a new 2.0-litre engine and the model, built in Britain, will go on sale in early 2007 priced around £18,000.
Expect to see more 3-door versions of Civic at the London Motor Show in July.
