Honda fans in Japan will have a chance to preview the new Civic Type-R in January. The next-generation hot hatchback will be on display at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, slated to run January 14-16. This isn't the Type R's official debut, however. The car on display will be a prototype still wearing a camouflage wrap.
As such, we don't know how much information Honda will divulge about the hotly anticipated performance model. We do know that Honda has created a camouflage pattern designed specifically for the Type R, for whatever that's worth. The car will also be featured in an "action-packed test-driving video" that will allow show attendees to glimpse the Type R's development. Beyond that, Honda says the production Type R will debut at some point next year, and it will be the best-performing Type R of them all.
The Type R prototype will join performance rivals from Subaru, Nissan and Mitsubishi at the show. A new electric STI Concept will be in Subaru's booth, and Mitsubishi will show an unknown concept in ralliart guise. Nissan will officially debut its new Z for Japan in multiple flavors
That is, if the show isn't canceled ahead of time. The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is currently wreaking havoc in many parts of the world, leading General Motors to withdraw from the CES Show in Las Vegas running just a week before Tokyo.
