For now, Honda has yet to release any details surrounding its new performance hatchback, but judging by the photos, the next-gen Civic Type R will carry over a lot of the styling cues of the outgoing FK8 Civic Type R, including the massive rear wing and centrally-mounted triple exhaust set-up.

But that’s not all – the teasers revealed a cool easter egg, in the form of outlines of previous-generation Civic Type R models jumbled together with the symbolic R logo. This design is incorporated into the next-gen Civic Type R’s camouflage.

While Honda remained tight-lipped about the next-gen Civic Type R’s powertrain, some Japanese outlet claimed that the model will carry over the current model’s turbocharged 2.0-litre K20C petrol engine, albeit with an individual electric motor propelling each rear wheel – effectively making the model a hybrid.

At the moment, the FK8 Honda Civic Type R is motivated by the aforementioned engine that does 310 PS and 400 Nm, mated to a slick six-speed manual transmission that drives the front wheels.
