200 bhp Civic Si Concept Points at Future Direction for New 2006 Civic Si Coupe

The Civic Si Concept, making its world debut at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, provides a strong indication of the styling and performance direction for an all-new production Civic Si Coupe scheduled to debut later this year.

The production Civic Si Coupe will serve as the performance leader for a completely redesigned 2006 model Civic lineup that will feature more emotional styling, added performance and the latest generation of "intelligent" i-VTEC engine technology. The 2006 Civic lineup, launching this fall, will include a 4-door Sedan, a 2-door Coupe and Si Coupe, an even more fuel efficient Civic Hybrid and a natural-gas powered Civic GX.

The Civic Si Concept celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Civic Si legacy in the U.S. and builds on its performance heritage with a 200-horsepower, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm red line, mated to a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type limited slip differential for improved launch traction and cornering performance.

Other performance features of the Civic Si Concept include 18-inch cast aluminum wheels, 225/40 R18 high performance tires and 4-wheel disc brakes with large cross-drilled brake rotors and 4-piston Brembo calipers.

"The 2006 Civic Si Coupe will be the most powerful, fastest and fun-to-drive Si we've ever put on the street, and the Civic Si Concept sets the direction in terms of its styling, package and performance," said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda. "It's part of a new family of Civic vehicles that build on the already class-leading values of the Civic in terms of safety, styling, performance and fuel efficiency."

Designed as an "Advanced Personal Compact," the Civic Si Concept incorporates a sweeping roofline and ultra-fast windshield rake that highlights the vehicle's advanced one-motion profile, low and wide stance, and superior aerodynamic performance. The long trunk deck, with its frontward sloping bumper, accents the forward motion conveyed by the overall vehicle shape. Wheel openings have been optimized to minimize the gap between the tire and the body. Special aerodynamic features include a full front and side aero kit, rear deck wing and a lower rear bumper diffuser with an integrated center exhaust system.

The 2006 Civic Si Coupe will be the sixth generation Si, which first appeared as a three-door hatchback in 1986 with subsequent Civic Si models appearing in 1989, 1992, 1999 and 2002. The production Si will make its world debut at the 2005 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in November. The Civic Si Concept was designed at Honda R&D America's Los Angeles design center.

1. honda built a nice scion there.

2. i want to see new crx, preferably with the k20a3, in si trim.

3. no hatch for the new civic si, no care.

 

lol , it is quite interesting to look at .

 

i like it alot ...

 

i think it looks good minus the exhaust though.... cant really do much with it

 

is it going to come stock with those rims and that wing?and certainly not with a CF hood.

 

i like it alot... except the wing, altho i still dont hate the wing.

 

hey
yea according to writeup its supposed too . 18's and that wing .

the only thing that resembles a scion is the fact that its a silver coupe...........

 

At first I thought it looked *** ugly, but it's starting to grow on me.

 

it does look a lot like the scion Tc. concept is a concept.

 

looks cool to me, not really feelin the wing but thats just my opinion.

I feel the same way. I really like the front end, but would love to see a hatch and I also am holding out hope for a CRX to make a comeback. Say a 2200 lb car with the a3 and a few mods....you would have a screamer almost out of the box.

yea me to...has there been any real annoucment about honda producing a crx? or is this just everyone hoping they will?

 

Not diggin' the spoiler at all.... The car is different to us all but I'd say if it hits the market we will all go drive it.... The brake cali's are phuckin' HUGE!!!!! Needs some more R&D on that exhaust..... 8 outta 10 on visuals...

 

alot better than the one before i think

 

not for nothin that car is FIRE! vented disc brakes 18in rims, k20 motor and a body style to die for minus wing. i figure its a better deal then spending $8000 on a k20 swap into an EK for what.

I believe its only black.

ditch the wing and it looks like a smoother and more bubble shape 05 RSX.

and it does not resemble a tc.

 

looks like a TSX and a GTO mated then thier offspring mated with a Scion TC. looks nice though

 

yeah i'll say that it looks better than that mini honda odyssey **** from 01-05. the only thing i like about those cars was the placement of the shifter

 

The 18s, 225s, CF hood, center-exit dual exhaust and gigantinormous brakes are just for the concept. The production car is expected to be equipped with 17s and 215 tires, which is what the current RSX is riding on.

Screw the K20A3; Honda is finnaly giving us a K20A2 with a 6-speed LSD trans in a Civic. It's about time they woke up and put a reasonable drivetrain in the Civic instead of giving all the good stuff to Acura.

As far as the coupe body style goes, hatches just don't sell, particularly when they are as ugly as modern hatchbacks are. The '99-00 Si coupe sold. This coupe will sell too. Enough said.

I'd like to see a CRX too, but there comes a time when we have to admit it is just not going to happen.

 

i kinda like it

 

I don't like it...then again I didn't like the EP3 when it first came out either.

Give it a few months..i'll get used to it.

 

Its like every honda...at first you dont like it but then you learn to love it
