The car will be produced at Honda’s UK manufacturing facility while it is expected to be sold around other markets as well. This would be the first Honda Type R to be sold in North America.

The car comes with wider bumpers, large rear wing and extended wheel arches. It now even comes with a bonnet scoop while the other changes include carbon fiber splitter, diamond mesh inserts in air intakes and many more minor design changes in the bumpers. The LED headlights have been smoked for a meaner look. The car comes with 20 inch Piano Black alloy wheels, 245 section high performance race spec tyres, three tail pipes and even carbon fiber side skirts. It will definitely produce more than 306 BHP of current generation Type-R’s power figure. Some reports suggest that it generates close to 340 BHP!
