Honda Civic Si (render)
Motor Trend has learnt that the
sporty Civic Si will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 16.
Details about the latest Civic Si remain scarce at
this stage. However, it is reported that the model with either use a tuned
variant of Honda's 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or instead, a detuned version
of the Type R's 2.0-liter turbo'd four.
Whatever the case may be, the model will slot
perfectly between the current 173 hp, 1.5-liter Civic and the Type R, pumping
out between 220 and 230 hp. As one would expect, power will be channelled to
the front wheels and a six-speed manual 'box will be available alongside an
automatic.
The new Civic Si will be
adorned with a few unique touches to distinguish it from other variants in the
range. Key changes will include a modified front fascia and grille and a unique
exhaust pipe design.
