tipped to be Honda’s first-ever turbo road car
they had a legend in 1989 with an interesting 'wing' turbo plus the venerable City Turbo in 1982 and later the 'bulldog' City Turbo II.
also an Acura RDX from 2007 in the US.

Car looks good from the front, not sure on the rear. Keen on the turbo but I do agree that a Type R should be a high revving, lightweight, atmo beast.
