Honda is returning to form with the introduction of a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine designed purely to excite.

With no mention of the Japanese company’s eco-focused “blue skies for our children” tagline, hybrid powertrains or how many virtual leafs one can grow by driving more efficiently, the Tokyo-based manufacturer hopes to reclaim its former glory and bring excitement back to the brand following a period that could politely be described as conservative.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine uses VTEC technology with a high output-turbocharger as well as direct injection to deliver at least 206kW of power and 400Nm of torque. Those figures are tipped to rise when the engine is released in production form.

The engine will be Euro 6 compliant and is expected to be used to power a number of vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Civic Type R hero car.

Honda’s R&D facility in Tochigi has been in charge of the engine’s development, completing work under extreme secrecy for the past few years.

Honda’s range of transmissions will likely be limited for the 2.0-litre turbo to a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is currently available in Acura models in North America. Honda may also use an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) when applying the engine to less performance-oriented vehicles in its range, like the CR-V.

In true Honda fashion they designed the ugliest possible Civic Type R to house this motor

ugly as fuck


On dirait qu'il y a deux aillerons une par dessus l'autres, et au premier coup d'oeil l'aileron semble être une ombre dans la vitre. :D
 
Not bad mais les chiffres n'ont rien d'impressionnant. La compétition fait déja ca (ou mieux) depuis quelques temps deja.

Is it based on the K20 series engine?

no. this one is direct injected. So the head design, piston, connecting rod are completely different. The block architecture must be different also to handle the boost. So I'm assuming that no it's not gonna be a K-series engine.
 
La compétition fait mieux? Wut?

Les GTI sont a quoi, 210hp? Speed3, 263? WRX, 265? Focus ST, 253 ? FRS, 200?

Sont peut-être ben en retard mais sont dans la game pareil.

Pas de torque, 295 c'est pas assez?
