Honda's Civic Type R-GT Concept targets Super GT.
sits atop the brand’s performance portfolio, it makes for a logical choice as the basis of a new racing car. That said, there appears to be little shared between this GT500 Series competitor and the production CTR. Per Super GT regulations, the car will ride on a carbon monocoque chassis complete with a RWD layout, as well as feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder. Since 2014, cars in the GT500 Series have been making in excess of 650 horsepower with that motor.

Combined with the new red, white and blue livery, the CTR makes for an impressive looking racer.
While the Honda Civic Type R-GT is just a concept at this time, it will be exciting to see a version of the CTR make its way to Super GT. The car might not carry the same visual appeal as the NSX-GT, but it's hardly an ugly duckling. Whether or not the car is able to remain competitive in class will have to be seen. You can watch the unveiling of the car yourself down below.
