What's new

Honda has said that a more powerful Civic Type R HRC is being developed for US buyers. The announcement was made at the SEMA show, a trade event for the automotive aftermarket. Honda is also showing off an electrified Baja trophy truck and a race-ready Prelude at the event.

Why it matters

For Indian readers, this is a sign of how far Honda's performance road cars can go. It is not a car that will be sold here. Enthusiasts who follow Honda's motorsport line may find it useful to know which models are getting special versions.

What others say

Carscoops reports that the trophy truck display is a headline item at the Honda stand, with the car's output described as 1,300 hp. Road & Track describes the Civic Type R HRC as a hotter version aimed at American customers. Both outlets report the same core news about development.

What we don't know yet

The sources do not say when the car will go on sale or what it will cost. They also do not confirm the final power figure or specifications for the Civic Type R HRC itself.
