Honda will finally reveal the production version of the Civic Type R at the Geneva Motor Show next month, following a long series of concept cars. The Swiss auto show will also host the European premiere of the Honda-badged NSX supercar, which had its world debut as an Acura at the Detroit Auto Show early this month.

The Honda Civic Type R will be the most extreme Type R ever built, with the automaker confident it will set new standards in the segment thanks to “blistering performance and thrilling dynamics.”

Powered by a new 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo engine producing more than 280PS (276hp) and mated to a six-speed manual transmission driving the front wheels, the all-new Civic Type R will also benefit from new chassis technologies to deliver “one of the most immersive and rewarding driving experiences available in any sector.”

The new Type R will also mark the debut of the new “+R” button, which activates the “+R” mode that heightens engine responsiveness, changes torque-mapping to a more aggressive and performance-focused setting, and makes steering more responsive.

Alongside the all-new Civic Type R, Honda’s Geneva Motor Show booth will also host the European debut of the NSX hybrid supercar. Additionally, the all-new HR-V and Jazz production models will have their European debut in Geneva ahead of their commercial debut in summer 2015, with Honda also bringing the FCV Concept to Europe for the first time.
