Lime Coupe Concept

The lime green Honda Civic Type R Coupe might suit someones style a little more than the hatchback version, what do you think of this concept?






Stopping Power & Aero



Fitted with big four-piston Brembo calipers and 13.8" cross drilled rotors.
It looks like the type r will be able to stop on a dime. The front bumper also provides cool air to the brakes as well. The brakes sit behind 19" alloy wheels and 235/35/ZR19 Tires designed just for the Type R.

Every aesthetic has function and form to please, from splitters and diffusers, to the spoiler.

EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS

Overall length4,390 MM (172.83 Inches)
Overall width1,878 MM (73.93 Inches)
Overall width2,065 MM (81.29 Inches) (including door mirrors)
Overall height1,466 MM (57.71 Inches) (unladen)
Wheelbase2,594 MM (102.12 Inches)
Track Front1,605 MM (63.18 Inches)
Track Rear1,528 MM (60.15 Inches)
Ground Clearance118 MM (4.64 Inches) (with driver)

Type R K20C1 FK2


K20C1 will be the engine code and FK2 is the new Type R Chassis.


Stamped "Earth Dreams" for direct injection, the new K20C1 has the exhaust manifold in the front, rather than the rear of the engine. Unlike other K-Series engines, possibly because of the turbo manifold cooling. The "K20C1" is reminds me of the Intergra GSR stamp "B18C1" and makes me wonder if there might be a K20C5 or K24 turbo-charged version. So far I have seen a 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 liter turbo-charged list coming from Honda for the Tenth Generation.

Every aspect of the FK2 Chassis has been studied and created to create negative drag and keep this car stuck to the road and ultimate traction control. Here is a example from wind tunnel testing.


Type R 0 - 200 kmh / 124 mph

This car should boast near 13.5 1/4 mile times and I can't imagine how fast the engine would be transplanted in to say... a Honda CRX, Del Sol or EG Hatchback model with racing slicks.
