MotorTrend got to sit down with the project leader of the Civic Type R project, and discuss the future of it. For one, an electric Type R model is not out of the question, if it can provide the excitement the Type R badge is known for at a price that is reasonable for the consumer.

Also more interesting, is that it has not been decided where the next gen Civic Type R model will be built, between Japan and the United States, if there is a next generation one at all. So it looks like Honda hasn't fully committed to a next generation CTR yet.

It's an interesting read. The project lead is convinced they haven't hit the limits of the current FWD based platform yet either.

Yep. AP4T has always been the true Honda designation for the 2.0 liter turbo engine. AP2T is the designation for the current 1.5 liter turbo.

Codename AP4T? Never saw that before.

Good old MT. If someone didn't flat out deny something, they would write an article about it.

I'll take " What will sound shittier than a Type R with stock exhaust " for $500.
