This is the new Honda Civic Type R 2017 - Prototype

Moving past that, the Type R takes the standard hatchback and adds aggression rather than lightness. The front bumper is widened with extra slats, along with the fenders front and rear. It also gets a deeper chin spoiler in bare carbon fiber with a red accent stripe.

The biggest change you'll probably see is in paint finish. The concept here has been given an interesting brushed aluminum-look vinyl wrap. If you're really have to have it, there's probably a decal shop nearby that could hook you up.

Flared wheel arches holding 20-inch black alloy wheels are linked front to back by carbon fibre side skirts.

The rear of the car features a larger carbon fibre rear diffuser and three tail pipes are topped off with an almighty big wing.

As previously mentioned, this is just a "concept" and the production model will be shown early next year. After that, the Type R will be released in Europe first during the second half of 2017. US availability has not been announced yet.
