The 2018 Honda Civic Type R makes its North American debut [SEMA 2016]

The 2018 Honda Civic Type R made its North American debut at the 2016 SEMA show in Las Vegas, and TFL’s Roman Mica spoke with Sage Marie, senior manager of public releations at American Honda, to find out all he could about it.

The car that debuted is a prototype, but is close to what will come in the 2018 model year. It will have 300+ horsepower through the front wheels, and is basically a race car for the road.

TFL will be able to get inside the car at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this year, so stay tuned. For now, check out the full video above.

And check out the rest of the TFL’s coverage of the 2016 SEMA show in Las Vegas, which will run through November 4.
