125mph limiter don't sound right at all ... Current si is 135mph

If they paint that black thing in the front, and do something with that black thing and the 3rd brake light on the hatch they may have something there.

That black thing at the back is a window, similar to the CRZ...I agree about the front air dam on the front though

This is an FN2 Type R UK based production...saw a few while in England last year...

Ugliest. Car. Ever. Looks like a rat on wheels. I'm liking this new engine though.

A turbo Honda? Ugh. Not a fan. Give me something that redlines at 10,000-12,000 rpm over a turbo any day.

If America doesn't get this car pretty much all my faith in this company is lost and I'll happily live in the 90s when they made fun/cool cars (s2000 and 06-11 si not included)

m_shake, don't count on it... Most of the cool cars are excluded because North Americans are regarded as 'juvenile' when it comes to driving...hence the lack of reform acne cars for the masses...

Oh I'm well prepared for disappointment, it's american honda after all hahah!!

Reports are that the Type-R will NOT be offered in the U.S. Apparently, Honda does feel that there is enough interest in America in this car.
Oh well, maybe that engine will end up in the Si.

DaveSi677

they are talking about making a turbo k20 for the Si... only time will tell what will really happen!

After watching all of these "special" models over the year being offered only over sea's, I question any such model being released here in NA....I hope I'm wrong!

I believe the new CTR did set the fastest lap time record at the Nurburgring though. It would be quite interesting if it did show up stateside.

Along with the idea that we are juveniles in racing, we have NASCAR for god sakes, IMO it's tough racing but there is hardly any right handers minus two tracks during the year, otherwise you're in the wall. I agree with that thought.

NA is gay we never get the good model cars lol , water downed 240sx no gtrs water down Hondas ... Law makers suck

outgunned

Yea not liking the way it looks.

Name one Honda that revs that high in stock form without even a tune. Bikes don't count.

97emsedan

Even the S2K only got to 9K in its day...the only Honda that got that high 10-12K was the Indy cars or F1 teams..

Just figured I would add... The 125 limiter claim isn't true from what I have read. It could have as much as 300. an LSD is a guarantee and the rear suspension is actually supposed to be different from the base model. As in it will be fully independent! It'll be a performer too! After it's going for the fastest Front Wheel Drive record at the Nurburgring! Can't go wrong with that! Here is a pic of a test mule of the car.

One of the test drivers named Gabriele Tarquini spoke very highly of the car after driving it on the Nurburgring. The car is taking all of it's feedback from the Honda World Touring Car Championship program after all. Keep an eye on this one guys. It looks interesting! There are a few NSX engineers involved with this project!

DaveSi677

it does look awesome but it ain't coming here!

This. For america we'll get the new si hybrid, cvt only and a massive ***** in the drivers seat to hold you in place while cornering.

Bakemono36

Oh dear God I hope its not a CVT.

DaveSi677

Im pretty sure it won't be cvt but the ***** could be there instead of the flower like in the beetle lol

m_shake

lol
