The Civic R Prototype shows what we can expect of the next-generation Civic Type R, when it launches next year. It builts on the new generation Civic hatch, the Civic R Prototype is enhanced by muscular body styling and modifications to aid aerodynamic performance. The exterior is wrapped in a unique, highly reflective, finely-grained brushed aluminum-effect finish, while at the front the aggressive fascia is accentuated with a winged carbon fiber splitter and sporty red accent line. Other significant highlights include air scoops and ducts, smoked LED headlights, carbon side skirts, indicators and side indicator repeater lights, and a beefy carbon fiber diffuser at the rear which frames three fully-functional tailpipes. It rides on 20-inch piano black alloy wheels with red accents and 245-section high-performance tires.honda_civic_type_r_prototype_03

It features a Honda Factory Performance accessory concept package featuring custom HFP accessories including deck lid spoiler, brake rotors, carpet floor mats and emblems. In addition, the car is outfitted with black wheel lock and wheel lugs, red underbody spoilers and 19-inch HFP alloy wheels.
