Honda Will Show the 2023 Civic Type R on July 1

It's been more than a year since the new generation of the Honda Civic was introduced, and in fact we test-drove the model as early as last summer. As was the case with the previous edition, the company has been unveiling the different variants of the new Civic in gradual succession.

Last time around, after the regular version came the Si variant, with the Type R the last to appear. The formula is the same for the new generation and so on July 1st, we will get to see the new Type R.

On July 1st, the car, in prototype form, will make its first public appearance during a race of the IndyCar series in Ohio. It’s very likely it will still be decked in camouflage outfit, but we should still get a good idea of what the Type R will look like, and at least we will be able to watch it in motion - and hear it. In fac, the car will serve as the lead vehicle for the main race event running on Sunday, July 3.

We're officially talking about a concept, but we know the drill when it comes to Honda: the production vehicle coming a few months after this event will almost surely by nearly identical. The Type R is expected before the end of the year as a 2023 model, by the way.
