From the next chapter of the Type R legend to a concept car that can read your emotions, the 2017 Geneva Motor Show will see Honda showcase a range of its advanced vehicle and powertrain technologies.

Civic Type R

After being previewed as the Civic Type R Prototype in Paris last year, the new Civic Type R is built on the platform of the latest generation Honda Civic. The Civic Type R will run Honda's newest 2.0-litre VTEC turbocharged engine.

While other technical details have yet to be made available, the new Type R has the front-wheel drive Nurburgring record in its sight - this means the model will have to be faster than the current record holder, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S. 

The new Honda Civic Type R will begin production this summer at a facility in the United Kingdom for export to Europe, Japan, and other global markets. This will also mark the first time the Type R will be sold in the U.S.A market.

Clarity Fuel Cell

The Honda Clarity Fuel Cell will also be on show, following the arrival of the first cars in Europe at the end of last year. It first made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015, the world's first production hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) sedan to house the fuel cell stack and drivetrain system under the bonnet.

The all new Clarity is the world's most advanced FCV and delivers a class-leading maximum range of 620km.

The arrival of the new Clarity in Europe as part of the Europe-wide HyFIVE (Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles) initiative reinforces Honda's continued efforts to drive increased adoption of fuel cell vehicles and the creation of a viable hydrogen refuelling infrastructure across the region.

Honda NeuV

The pure electric concept car explores a financially-beneficial ownership model for enterprising customers, by functioning as an automated ride sharing vehicle when the owner is not using the car.

It would pick up and drop off customers at local destinations, and could also sell energy back to the electric grid during times of high demand when it's sitting idle, further monetising the vehicle's down time.

NeuV also functions as a thoughtful and helpful artificial intelligence assistant utilising an 'emotion engine', which learns from the driver by detecting the emotions behind their judgments. It can then apply what it has learnt from the driver's past decisions to make new choices and recommendations.
