The first, official video footage of the Japanese hot hatch has been released short after the Geneva debut.

Don’t get too excited though, because Honda has not included any mechanical soundtrack in these videos.

Apart from the generic rolling footage which has no sound at all, destined mainly for TV shows, Honda has released footage of the Civic Type R while tested inside their own wind tunnel in Sakura, Japan to remind us the thoroughly developed aero agenda of the car.

But the most interesting video of the lot right now is the first one where we can see several details of the car, inside-out, from the exclusive Continental tyres to the classic Type R serial number plaque in front of the gear selector, to the front vents above the wheels and the “+R” button on the dash.

See for yourselves
