Honda Teases Us with the New Civic Type R Once Again - gallery

Honda gave us a better look at the new Civic Type-R at the recent Tokyo Auto Salon.

Honda also dropped a video clip showing testing of the new Type R.

Its main rivals are the Hyundai Veloster N and the VW Golf R.

Who knows if it will be more fun then then Veloster N, but it will be faster.

The Type R will almost certainly undercut the Golf R on price and excitement as well.

A 6-speed manual gearbox is all but certain.

If there is an automatic option, it will probably be the dual-clutch from the Acura NSX or TLX.

The video shows the new Type R being driven around Suzuka, then getting some tweaks, then more driving.

Expect the performance to be marginally better then the current Type R in almost every way.

The current Type R is capable of 306 horsepower, so the next one will make a bit more.

Expect the next Type R to produce about 325 horsepower.

The new Type R will more than likely use a version of the 2-liter 4-cylinder from the current Civic Type R.

Honda will officially release the new Type R later this year.
