A prototype of the Honda Civic Type-R was caught on camera undergoing testing at the tracks of Nürburgring in Germany.
CEO of Honda Takanobu recently reconfirmed that the hotter Civic is scheduled for a market release in 2015. We also know that the model will have an output of at least 265 hp (198 kW) though they are aiming at about 300 hp (224 kW) which will be most likely provided by a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine.
The company is hoping that the 2015 Civic Type-R will become the quickest FWD car on the Nürburgring tracks, beating the Renault Megane RS Trophy which currently holds the record with a time of 8 minutes and 7.97 seconds.
The new Civic Type-R will come fitted with an aerodynamic body kit with beefier side skirts and a prominent rear wing. Other features in the car include a quad sport exhaust system and high-performance brakes hiding behind larger alloy wheels. The company has stated that the car will use some of the tech derived from the company’s Civic WTCC racer.
