[Concept] Honda Civic Si Sedan

[SL65]

Civic Si revealed at Chicago

Strong hints to production Civic Si Sedan

The Civic Si Sedan Concept provides strong hints of the styling and performance for a production Civic Si Sedan scheduled to go on sale this fall, marking the first time that "Si" performance has become available in the Civic Sedan. Similar to the recently introduced Civic Si Coupe, the production Civic Si Sedan will serve as another performance leader for the Civic line-up with a 197-horsepower, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm redline, mated to a close-ratio, 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type, limited slip differential for improved traction and cornering performance.

The Civic Si Sedan Concept features custom 18-inch cast aluminum alloy wheels, 225/40ZR18 high-performance tires, and 4-wheel disc brakes with large cross-drilled brake rotors and 4-piston Brembo calipers.

"The Civic Si Sedan Concept demonstrates how the high-performance attributes of the Civic Si Coupe can be directly applied to the functionality of a sedan," said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda.

A production vehicle based on the Civic Si Sedan Concept will go on sale this fall. The 2007 Civic Si Sedan will mark a further evolution of Civic Si's sixth generation alongside the Civic Si Coupe - and will be the first time a Civic Si is available in two body styles. The Civic Si first appeared in 1986 with subsequent Civic Si models appearing in 1989, 1992, 1999 and 2002.

The Civic Si Concept (coupe version) made its debut at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, preceding the introduction of the all-new 2006 Civic Si, Civic Hybrid, Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe. The Civic Si Coupe and Civic Si Sedan will both complement the Civic lineup with features designed to appeal to true enthusiasts seeking a high level of performance and value.

The all-new 2006 Honda Civic has attracted a high level of acclaim, including Motor Trend magazine's prestigious 2006 Car of the Year award and the 2006 North American Car of the Year award.

Looks great! Love those shadow-chrome rims and carbon hood. Hope it looks like that when it goes into production

I'm a bit of a Honda n00b but whats the "Si"? Has there been any other Si's before or is it just a mock up of what the Type-R will look like.

Speaking of the Type-R, it must be said, the current one has had a really good life. Only near the end its been 'beaten' by the Golf but apart from that, its been one of the best in its class.

Hey I like that - a lot, though please lose that rear spoiler

It looks a bit like an EVO, from the side.

They probably made this car for the next NFS underground release

SL... Si is basically like a faster version of the normal civic... if you're familiar with Engine codes, I think the normal civic in the states gets the 1.6l Single Cam VTi and the Si gets the jap spec B16A engine, but I'm referring to the times of the EK civic, which is SiR_dude's model

That has to be the ugliest rear wing ever fitted to a production car at the factory. Can't they use the one from the latest Integra Type-R or something instead?

[Lilleput]

So they just pre-rice it so we dont have to?

[fr3aki3]

I actually don't mind it, except for the wing that is

Personally i prefer the jdm sedan




Obviously they are not stock civics but hey that red one has a supercharged K20a (type R) engine putting out 300ps (approx 221kW).

[Blayde]

very nice but yeah that spoiler is a 'spoiler'

[No Boss]

Honda made one hell of a great looking car here. It's just a shame that sitting in it, it still feels like a Honda.
