本田在巴黎车展发布了思域Type R原型车。虽然是原型车，但该车非常接近最终量产版。本田并未透露该车引擎规格，不过，现行版车型功率超过300马力。可以毫不夸张的说，采用全新思域平台的新一代车型动力性将超过现行版。这辆原型车配备了20英寸轮圈，非常适合它的轮拱，而车尾硕大的尾翼也符合其身份。有趣的是，你看到的闪闪发亮的铝制装饰只是一个外包装，因此不要期望最终量产版会采用金属装饰件。预计量产版将于明年某个时间发布，随后将于2018年上市。

Honda Civic Type R Prototype at the Paris Motor Show

The most exciting news from the Honda team here at the 2016 Paris Motor Show is that the Civic Type R will come to the United States… finally. To be clear, this is a prototype version of the vehicle, but Honda concept cars are typically quite close to their production counterparts.

Honda’s being cagey about the specifications of the engine, but we know that the current car makes over 300 horsepower. It’s safe to assume that the new generation car – riding on the all-new Civic platform – will exceed that.

On the prototype at least, high performance rubber wraps 20-inch wheels. Those fit nicely inside the blistered wheel arches, and the huge wing on the rear hatch completes the go-fast picture. Interestingly, the brushed aluminum finish you seen on this show car is a wrap, so don’t expect a bare metal finish for the production version.

Look for that production car to be unveiled sometime next year, and on sale for the 2018 model year.
