2015 Geneva Motor Show: Honda Civic Type R image gallery
After a five year wait, 2015 sees the arrival of the world's most keenly anticipated hot hatch, the Honda Civic Type R. We take a closer look at what Honda calls the 'racecar for the road'.
The heart of the Civic Type R is an all-new, direct-injected turbocharged 2.0 litre VTEC turbopetrol engine
The Civic Type R's performance is claimed to be unmatched in the front-wheel drive hot hatch segment - the 0 to 100kmph sprint is takes just 5.7 seconds, according to Honda
A range of aesthetic and functional upgrades within the cabin reinforce the Type R's sporting character

High-backed sports seats, trimmed in suede-effect black fabric with red double stitching are said to provide driver and front-seat passenger with ample lateral support during harder cornering
The Civic Type R has an aggressive, purposeful stance. The sleek and aerodynamically-efficient design reflects a car developed to perform at speed. The focus on aerodynamics is expected to enable high-speed stability and high levels of downforce
New lightweight, high rigidity 19-inch alloy wheels, unique to the Type R, complement the visual changes
Design elements that aid aerodynamics included a rear diffuser to enhance downforce
The new Civic Type R will introduce the new +R button that increases the response of various chassis and drivetrain systems
