Honda Motor has unveiled the 2007 Civic Type R, a hot version of the Euro Civic hatchback. The new Type R will be powered by the naturally-aspirated, high-revving 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC enginel. VTEC variable valve timing and VTC variable inlet camshaft technology continue to underpin the engine structure. “Hot Hatch” now takes place at a lower 5,200rpm, and continues all the way to 8,000rpm. Max output is now 201 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, compared to 200 horsepower at 7,400 rpm. Acceleration to 62 mph takes 6.6 seconds.
Pricing has yet to be announced for the Type-R. 2007 Honda Civic Type R will go on sale next March in the UK.
