Honda is subsequently getting on the turbocharged, direct-injection bandwagon with 3 new engines: a 1.Five-liter turbo four, a three-cylinder 1.Zero-liter rapid, and a 2.Zero-liter rapid four. The most thrilling one, as a minimum to lovers, will be the 2.0-liter unit. Honda became coy approximately horsepower figures, but did move to date as to say that the engine might be, “10-percent extra amusing than the contemporary 3.Five-liter V-6.” If we take that to mean 10-percent extra energy, then the brand new 2.0-liter rapid four will have about 300 horses.

On the layout the front, the engine gets the aforementioned direct injection, it'll also get sodium-cooled exhaust valves, an electrically controlled wastegate for the turbocharger, and excessive-tumble intake ports. The redline inside the cars we drove changed into marked at 7000 rpm.We sampled the brand new 2.Zero-liter in a european-market Civic type R with a six-velocity manual. Acceleration is critically brief through first equipment; engine noise is loud, however Honda may have played up the exhaust and consumption noise to in shape the individual of the kind R. Similarly to the six-speed manual, Honda is preparing an 8-velocity twin-seize automatic with a torque converter that would paintings with the 4-cylinder individuals of this new engine family.
