I was hoping for a more advanced VTEC system to feature on the last 2L NA before the switch to FI but Euro emissions pushing for everyone to go to extremes to reduce emissions.

Concept revealed. Great engine, but still FWD. It probably needed the 20" wheels for grip! The old prototype ran on 19" only.

FOOKN SEXY!

Will buy if production looks exactly like this... or better.

Looks really good. Honda finally woke up.

Supposedly from the test drive of the prototype, there is no turbo lag. This will be interesting, I want to find out if this is true, as it will be a big advantage over the Euro hot hatches (R, S3, RS265).

If Honda has somehow used VTEC to eliminate turbo lag, then my faith in Honda's technological strength will be renewed!
