Last time we saw the upcoming 2015 Honda Civic Type R stretch its wheels on public roads it was late September 2014 and the hot hatch was circling the Nurburging track, waiting for access on Germany’s iconic Nordschleife course. Four months later and the Japanese automaker is still honing the Type R, this time using Sweden’s wintery landscape as playground. Needless to say, I’m fantasizing about a full-fledged Civic Type R rally car as I write.
But while a WRC-spec Civic isn’t likely given Honda is already extremely busy with its British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) program, a brand-new, road-going Type R is right around the corner. Set to debut this summer, the Civic Type R continues to present itself in heavy camouflage, although Honda as already opened the order books in the United Kingdom, where the hatch is expected to cost from around £30,000 ($45,600 as of 1/14/2015). We’re just a few months away from seeing the new Type R in the metal, but until that happens, read on for a recap on what we already know about Honda’s new hot hatch.
