[M]anuel · December 16, 2021

Honda continues to work on the process of developing the next generation of its fireproof compact sports car. Development testing of the new 2023 Honda Civic Type R has a place on the po[CENSORED]r and well-known Suzuka circuit. The brand itself has made public new and very interesting images.

The development process for the new generation Honda Civic Type R continues. Honda is working on full performance in the long-awaited generational change of one of the icons and reference of the compact sports segment. A model that today can be considered a "dinosaur" that survives in times when electrification is already the protagonist.

Taking the eleventh generation of the Honda Civic as a starting point, the Japanese manufacturer will give life to a beast on wheels capable of tackling any track. Despite the fact that there is still considerable time left for its assault on the dealerships to take place, Honda once again offers us the possibility of approaching the development of a model that is called upon to deal in a category that is becoming elitist at an accelerated rate

Honda has published through its official profiles on social networks some very interesting images of the new Civic Type R. However, as might be expected, the example shown is thickly camouflaged. Specifically, with the characteristic camouflage in which red is the main color. In addition to making these new images public, it has been made clear where the "headquarters" of the team working on the project is currently located.

The new generation Civic Type R is taking on the Suzuka Speedway in Japan. A route that is being used as a base of operations to complete an important phase of development. The objective is none other than to get the best set-up of the chassis. Recall that relatively recently this model was hunted facing the Nürburgring track located in Germany. Some of the most relevant circuits on the international scene are being decisive in development.

Under the hood will be a 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo four-cylinder petrol engine that will be refined to improve its power to approximately 330 hp. And most importantly, without resorting to electrification. In this way, the new Civic Type R will remain true to its origins. All this despite the fact that the new Civic will only be marketed in Europe with hybrid mechanics.
