Here's your first look at the actual 2017 Civic Type R 5-door hatchback prototype! We caught this while it was making its testing laps on the Nurburgring. This confirms that until now, we have previously been looking at chassis testing mules. But, this time around the prototype clearly shows a production-bound body.
This 5-door Type R showcases a massive rear wing, rear tailgate glass reminiscent of the European Civic 5-door, aggressive front bumper with additional cooling, Brembo brakes and center mounted triple exhaust. Like the 2015 Type R, the front quarter fender panel features outlet vents above the wheels to assist in channeling out hot air from the engine bay and assist in cooling.
The Civic Type R based on the 10th gen Civic hatchback will be powered by the same power plant as the current Type R, a 2.0L turbo 4 which currently outputs 306 HP.
This prototype also gives us a first preview at what the 10th gen hatchback will look like, minus all the Type R bits, of course.
