Honda will be present at the event with the all-new Civic Type R. In fact, it won`t be that new, the model coming with just a handful of updates compared to the last year`s model.

What will make is standout from its current form is the more aggressive design lines, highlighted by the new bonnet vent, updated airdam and spoiler as well as the slightly revised taillights and anodized centre tailpipe with triple exiting layout.

Other new features refer to the now much wider wheels and a couple of mods added to the chassis, which will increase its chances of speeding up faster on the Ring.

As for the car`s performance, the 2018 Honda Civic Type R is also coming with the present 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, with 228 kW and 400 Nm of torque, being sent to the front axle via a six-speed manual transmission.
