Honda's teasing a new Civic Type R concept with Prelude S+ Shift tech, reigniting talk of a proper comeback to the UK market. The dual-clutch transmission paired with a hot hatch suggests Honda's finally ready to challenge the Golf R's dominance again. Last time the Type R mattered in Europe was the FK8—this could be the one that actually gets there.

Toyota distilled 10 laps of ring data into a limited GR Yaris MORIZO RR—100 units only, each one carrying suspension and aero tuning that Akio Toyoda's personal lap times validated. This isn't marketing fluff. This is a manufacturer actually building what the test driver proved worked, not what spreadsheets predicted.
