These guys seem to think so...

I'm not so sure but it's fun to wonder about ....

Honda shows future Civic Type-R?

PUBLISHED: 02/11/2005

At the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show (SEMA) in Las Vegas, Honda shows their in-house tuners' take on the 2006 Civic.

It is expected that the tuning enhancements shown at the SEMA show either are - or will be pretty close to - the as of yet unrevealed Honda Civic Type-R.

The Civic Si show car gets a 200-horsepower iVTEC 2.0-litre Dual overhead cam (DOHC) engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, a limited slip differential, and lots of other goodies. The vehicle looks very close to being production-ready, which is how the Type-R rumours started.

Honda UK declined to comment on the one-off model displayed at SEMA, but the Honda fan-forums are red-hot with excitement over the possibility to see the red badge return to the Civic platform.
