300 bhp is possible from the K20A but im not sure how reliable they would get it! I suspect going to a 2.2 plus would be the way - and hopefully not a reduced rev limit.

If they do bring out a 4wd 300bhp RR - Im there.....

I think that spy shot in the black is actually the Type S.

The Type R will have a blackout front grill instead of the seethrough, will have similar skirts below the doors similar to the previous one. Same alloys as the press realease and quite a big spoiler. There is an official pic on the honda homepage, as they're going to be launching it at the British Motorshow later in the month. Looks pretty awesome in white actually, I thought the black would be the best, but I'm quite taken with the white.

LOL@comments regarding the looks the EP3 was hardly a looker !!! Kettle & Black spring to mind

 

Look at the white civic type-r on the front page...........now that looks interesting

Everyone hated the old shape civic and now loves it, same will happen with this one. Good design makes you think that

And you can get the old shape typer R from japan with 220bhp and a limited slip diff on the front. If i was to get one it would be this. and of course, available in white

pic of one,



Gav..

 

Or even better, a DC5 Integra Type-R!

 

thats just boring

You can't call that boring, it's wicked, much more bold than the Mundano's lil bother the asbo. The Golf is quite pretty but boring and middle aged. I am quite impressed with it myself.

 

Me thinks it wont have those brakes

 

But will they bring it out in white here or save it for Japan only again

 

The white looks amazing
