The next generation Honda Civic Type R has been spotted testing for the first time recently. The current Civic Type R has been on sale since 2015, and it is about time for Honda to launch the 11th generation model.

Now, Honda Civic Type R is known for revealing the sedan first, followed by the Coupe version. But the spotting of an hotter Type R hatchback in it is a bit of  surprise to all. What makes us believe this is the Type R? Well, the massive wing on the hatch is the most easy giveaway for it.

The heavily camouflaged prototype seems to be wider and lower than the outgoing latest models, but they are yet to ascertain it. It’s  also difficult to decipher the changes it will receive, but the heavy cladding and copious use of duct tape indicate extensive exterior updates.

Now Honda Company is yet to reveal what will power the next generation Civic Type R, but the Japanese Car maker, in the past it has indicated that the hot hatch could go electric. Now, an electric Civic Type R may not appeal the purists, but that is where the future lies. Perhaps, Honda may find a middle ground by going in the hybrid way. Whatever it may be, we are excited for sure.
