本田发布了思域Type R概念车设计草图，该车将在3月初举行的第84届日内瓦车展发布。而量产版将于明年发布，预计该车将采用更具侵略性外观。更具肌肉感车身组件，更宽轮距以及带散热孔外延式轮拱，而在车尾，则配备尾翼和未来主义风格尾灯组，使整车外观更突出运动风格。其他重要的变化包括，四排气尾管和后散流器，专属黑色合金轮圈和始自后保险杠，环绕车身的哑光黑色涂装。该车核心为一台新开发的2.0升四缸Earth Dream汽油引擎，最大功率至少206千瓦/277马力，但本田的目标是输出功率达到224千瓦/300马力，动力通过一台六速手动变速器传递至前轮。这款车还将配备更硬的悬挂并标配自适应后减震器，而在思域旅行车上这项配置属于选装件。

 

Honda Civic Type R concept set for Geneva launch next month

Honda has released a design sketch for the Civic Type R concept which will be officially revealed in early March at the 84th Geneva Motor Show.

 

The highly anticipated Civic Type R is set for a 2015 release in production form and it seems it will adopt a much more aggressive appearance than the standard model. The beefier body kit features wide tracks with vented wheel arch extensions while at the back the rather spectacular rear wing hosts futuristic taillights giving the hot hatchback a very special look.

 

Other important changes include the implementation of a quad exhaust system and a rear diffuser, along with bespoke black alloy wheels and a matte black finish which starts at the rear bumper and surrounds the entire car.

 

Its heart and soul will be a newly developed 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder Earth Dreams gasoline engine delivering at least 277 bhp (206 kW) but it is believed Honda is targeting an output of around 300 bhp (224 kW) transferred to the front axle exclusively through a six-speed manual gearbox. The range-topping Civic will come with a stiffer chassis and with standard adaptive rear dampers which are optional on the Civic Tourer.
