Okay, now, looks have been divisive, and I get it – it isn’t handsome. But it is a commanding aesthetic, one chock-full of aerodynamic components, cuts and folds, hard creases and vents. It is science in motion, an oddity at rest, but very much a case of function over silly form - from a wing so big you can’t even see it from the driver’s seat, to the triple-threat array of exhaust pipes. Speaking of which, there's that noise. The Honda Civic Type R soundtrack is one you’ve heard before – a blustery inline 4-cylinder pipe bomb, raspy on full tap punctuated with whip-cracks and whistles at the top of the rev range, excellent – but nothing you haven’t heard before.
