The first estimates about the next one Civic Type R they talked about 210 horsepower. Their next ones went up to the 220-230. The last ones, report from 270 until 300 PS! The only thing that doesn't change, is the cubism of 2 liters and the Turbo.

As he told "Auto Express", Yasuhisa Arai from Honda R&D, the 2.000 cubic meters are necessary to overcome the horsepower of the Renault Megane RS 265!

It is known that the goal set by the Japanese is for the new "hot" Civic to become the fastest front-wheel drive hatchback on the Nurburgring, breaking the record of the Megane RS.

According to Arai anyway, VTEC enthusiasts can sleep and dream easy: at Honda they also aim for the new engine to have the explosiveness of the brand's naturally aspirated engines at high revs.

It is recalled that the new Civic Type R is expected on 2015.
