 Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on Monday night at the exclusive Honda preview event, the new 2015 Civic Type R will be powered by the most extreme and high-performing engine in the 22-year history of the red ‘H’ badge, signalling the start of a new performance era for the Honda brand.

 Leon Brannan, Head of Cars at Honda UK, commented: “We are fully expecting a huge demand for the all new made in Britain Civic Type R and already have over 100 pre-orders in the order bank before our customers have even taken a test drive or seen the final production version.

 “This is the year Honda is back and sees our return to the performance hatch segment. The level of excitement around this utterly awesome brute of a car is outstanding and we have high expectations.”
