Honda to hold world premiere of Civic Type R Concept

Honda will hold the global premiere of the Civic Type R concept at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The concept will provide the styling direction for the highly anticipated production vehicle that will debut next year. Envisioned by the design team as a 'racing car for the road', its bold and expressive styling reflects the strong performance characteristics for which Type R is renowned.

Alongside the Type R concept, Honda will also hold the European debut for the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) Concept. Sleek and aerodynamic, the Concept points to the potential styling direction of Honda's next generation fuel cell electric vehicle, which launches in the U.S. and Japan in 2015.

Additionally the power unit of the new NSX and the 2014 Civic World Touring Car Championship race car will grace the Motor Show.

The powertrain layout of the new NSX supercar model showcases the longitudinal, V6 engine with twin turbo alongside Honda's innovative 3 motor Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) hybrid system.

Following victory in the Manufacturers' Championship of the 2013 World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), Honda will reveal the livery of the 2014 Civic WTCC car. Additionally, it will showcase its long history in Formula One with the RA271 that competed in 1964 and the record breaking turbo charged RA168E engine, which dominated the 1988 season.
