Cela semble prometteur.

Firstly, Honda has provided the journalists in attendance with an early preview drive of the Civic Type R hatchback, the development of which was announced 2 years ago with the stated goal of breaking the FWD lap record at Germany's famed Nurburgring (with a goal of recording a lap in under 8 minutes). To perform such a feat obviously requires a certain power to weight ratio, and as they promised, Honda has developed a turbocharged 2.0L VTEC 4-cylinder engine, producing in excess of 280hp and 400Nm (295lb-ft) of torque. The Civic Type R prototype is exclusively equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.

In addition, Honda announced and demonstrated two smaller turbocharged engines, with a 1.5L 4-cylinder Turbo VTEC reportedly developing 150kW (201hp) and 260Nm (192lb-ft) of torque, and a diminutive 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo VTEC engine, which is claimed to be good for at least 95kW (127hp) and 200Nm (147lb-ft) of torque.

Also displayed was a new 8-speed DCT transmission with a torque converter. The torque converter is included to solve DCT's inherent driveability issues at lower speeds. Robot clutches just aren't very good at smoothly modulating engagement, so torque converters are used for those situations. The dual clutch mechanism permits the nearly instantaneous and seamless upshifts at speed. This transmission does not have sufficient capacity to be coupled to the new 2.0L Turbo engine, but it should work with the 1.5L Turbo and normally aspirated 4-cylinder engines.
