Honda Civic Type R Set To Grow Into Performance Family

Honda is set to grow its hallowed Type R badge from a single model into a wider range of performance models as part of the latest-generation Civic Type R program.

At the recent US launch of Honda’s hot hatch Civic model line chief engineer Hideki Matsumoto revealed to Automotive News that in order to maintain a constant sales volume for the halo-model the Japanese automaker has a range of variants planned.

“We’re hoping that by gradually putting out more that we’ll be able to maintain a more stable sales volume,” Matsumoto explained.
