The Civic Type R was just revealed last month in Geneva...

It's got a 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder with 306 HP / 296 lb-ft and a 6 speed manual.

0-62 in 5.7 seconds and it gets around Nurburgring in 7:50.63!

Loving all the talk from Honda so far. I hope they back it up and don't totally water down the production version.

SICK! That's a world record FWD time for anyone not aware.

For anyone that hasn't seen it, here is what the 2.0L VTEC turbo looks like:

This thing is a beast for a FWD application

Factory turbo Hondas? Wait what year am I in? Where am I?

NIIIICE. This will be the first car that the new engine is used in? Curious how it takes to tuning.

Yep. They are calling it a "highly efficient and highly responsive engine" that will output in excess of 280ps. Sounds to me like they are highlighting its tunability...

I can't wait til the aftermarket gets a hold of it! Any guesses on what this engine is capable of (safely and reliably )

Brand new engine right? Then we won't know until the tuners and owners get their hands on it but I got high hopes. I'm besides myself tho at the thought of a 2.0L VTEC turbo and its tuning potential!

Will the standard Civic carry over its engine from the current gen?

From the press conference in New York:
"but this new Civic will offer a new DOHC VTEC engine for lower trims, and for upper grades, as I said, an all-new 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo from our Earth Dreams Technology lineup"

Thanks.

So 1.5L VTEC turbo for the lower trims and a 2.0L VTEC turbo for the Type R?

Just read that the DOHC VTEC mentioned in New York will be a 2.0L, this per Honda's Mendel at a round-table discussion. So base model Civics (LX and SE presumably) will get the naturally aspirated 2.0L, while upper trims (EX and EX-L presumably) will get the 1.5L turbo.

Si is still anyone's guess and Type-R will be the 2.0L turbo.
