Honda Civic Type R to Debut in Geneva
Honda is bringing its latest and greatest performance cars to the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
We will finally see a production version of the Civic Type R, a car that has been teased already by two different concepts. Alongside the hot new Civic, the NSX will make its European debut wearing a Honda badge rather than the Acura badge it does in North America.
Honda’s new Civic Type R will get its power from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will put out somewhere above 280 hp. That motor will be hooked up to a six-speed manual transmission. An adaptive damper system will be present on the Type R, allowing the driver to customize the car’s suspension settings.

The 2015 McLaren-Honda F1 race car will also be in Geneva, previewing Honda’s re-entry into the sport after a seven year hiatus.
On the more pedestrian end of things, the new Honda Jazz as well as the new HR-V will also make their European debut in Geneva.
