Honda Announces All-New VTEC TURBO Engine Series
[19-Nov-2013] Today Honda announced the introduction of three all-new VTEC TURBO engines as part of its growing Earth Dreams Technology range. These new engines come in three capacities; 1 litre, 1.5 litre and 2 litre, and will deliver a dynamic performance, as well as class-leading output and fuel economy.
All three engines will be direct-injection petrol turbos, utilising variable valve motion technology such as Honda's refined VTEC technology. Together with Honda's 1.6 litre diesel engine and hybrid technology, these new turbo engines will be applied on a number of future global models, depending on local market requirements and vehicle characteristics.
Based on a completely new engine structure and utilising its newly developed turbo systems, Honda has downsized its engines and produced a highly efficient 1 litre direct-injection, 3-cyclinder turbo engine as well as a 1.5 litre direct injection, 4-cyclinder turbo engine. Both engines have low friction throughout and are able to achieve class-leading output and environmental performance.
The first VTEC TURBO set to come to Europe will be the high-output 2 litre, direct injection, 4-cyclinder turbo engine, which will appear in the forthcoming Civic Type R. A highly efficient and highly responsive engine, it will have an output in excess of 280ps and will be EURO 6 compliant.

Latest Civic Type R Development Car Takes to Tochigi Test Track
Ahead of the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, Honda has showcased the latest Civic Type R development car at its in-house test track in Tochigi, Japan. The currently camouflaged car is being put through its paces as part of an extensive testing process taking place in Europe and Japan, ahead of its much anticipated launch in 2015.
The Civic Type R will be the first model in Europe to have one of Honda's all-new VTEC TURBO engines from Honda's Earth Dreams Technology range. This 2 litre, direct injection, 4-cylinder turbo engine is expected to have class-leading output in excess of 280ps and will be EURO 6 compliant.
Speaking during recent testing at the Nurburgring, Germany, Honda's WTCC driver Gabriele Tarquini, gave his first driving impressions 'The car and the characteristics of the car were fantastic. I was really impressed by the power and the torque of the engine but also by the set-up they achieved...The car is very pointed on the front and very fast to change direction'. 'This car is very close to my racing car and you can feel very well the DNA of Type R.'

IKR? that Civic Type-R is one bad *** car! Honda really shouldn't have discontinued the DC5 in America. Could you imagine one with this new proposed 2 liter engine? Yum . . . Turbo powered from the factory . . .

1.5 liter engine? In an Accord?
Hmm..........maybe it's just me, but whenever I think of D-segment and midsize executive cars, my brain always tells me that it's gotta have at least 2.0 liters of displacement.
Although I understand that some European car brands offer sub-2000cc engines for their D-segment/midsize cars (like Peugeot with the 508 which has 1.6 liter engines)
I don't know. Maybe it's just a matter of perception (like an S-class having a 2.1 liter diesel engine in the S250 CDI)
Anyways:
It does look nice
Also, as mentioned before, Honda is promoting this as the car that will dethrone the Renault Megane RS 265 for the title of "Fastest Front-Wheel Drive Production Car in the Nurburgring".
Do you guys believe that Honda will be able to do it? Yes or No?
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen
