Super Civic To Power In

It's going to be one of Honda's most dramatic-looking cars ever - and in this week's mag we show the hot version of the all-new Civic baring its claws for the first time.

The mag's exclusive pictures show how the Type R will look, with its aggressive bodykit and low-slung rear end. Standard 17-inch alloys continue the racy feel, while 18-inch rims are optional.

The sporty design sets off the Civic's striking shape - as exclusively revealed in spy shots of the car testing by Auto Express in Issue 834 - emphasising the newcomer's coupé-style profile.

Sources suggest power will come from a highly tuned version of the 2.4-litre engine fitted to the Accord, developing as much as 250bhp. That would put the hot Civic on a par with other forthcoming super hatches, such as the VW Golf R34, Vauxhall Astra VXR and Ford Focus Cosworth. The 2006 Type R is expected to be more expensive than the current model, with prices starting at around £20,000. Drivers who want a more practical hot hatch can choose a Type S version, which is likely to have a similar power output to the existing Type R. This variant will be available in a choice of three and five-door forms, and will cost about the same as the current car, at around £16,000. Both models are set to appear after the standard five-door new Civic is launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show next September, so expect a showroom debut towards the middle of 2006.
