Civic Type R and NSX Concepts to make U.K. debut

The latest concept models of the highly anticipated Civic Type R and NSX will make their first public appearance in the U.K. at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Taking centre stage for Honda (U.K.) at the Festival ahead of their launch next year, these models point to a very exciting 2015 for Honda, which will also see the marque return to Formula One.

As well as getting up close with the new concepts, visitors will get the chance to race them - with the Honda stand turned into a miniature race track for budding drivers to compete with special edition remote control models. A live compere will host each race to add further to the adrenaline-fuelled atmosphere, with each winner awarded a celebratory wreath in true F1 tradition.

These activities are free of charge and Honda will be taking donations for Goodwood Festival of Speed's Beneficiary, Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice. Last year Honda's off-road motocross and ATV experiences raised £4,200 (S$8,865) for the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Services.

The Civic Type R and NSX concept models will be taking centre stage on the Honda stand throughout the duration of the Festival giving fans the first opportunity in the U.K. to see the models in the metal.

Visitors will see for themselves the styling direction for the exterior design of the highly-anticipated production version of the new Civic Type R. Dubbed by the design team as a 'racing car for the road', its bold and aggressive styling reflects the strong performance characteristics for which Type R is renowned.
