The new Honda Civic Type R concept made its debut today at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show. Described by the design team as a ''racing car for the road,'' it signals a new era at Honda.

The shape and angle of the stand-out rear spoiler has been designed to provide additional downforce, while the front and rear fenders have been widened to accommodate 20'' tires.

When it goes on sale, the Honda Civic Type R will be the first model in Europe to feature one of the brand new VTEC TURBO engines from the Japanese manufacturer's Earth Dreams Technology range, including a 2.0L unit rated at around 280 horsepower.
