Honda reveals WTCC Civic

Honda has released the first visual of its 2014 World Touring Car Championship challenger reflecting the all-new technical regulations for the FIA WTCC which will come into force next year. The render shows subtle style of the wheel arch extensions, larger diameter wheels, sleeker aero package and extended rear spoiler.

All this plus an increased engine power makes the 2014 Honda WTCC racer clearly an 'ambitious' car designed to retain Honda's Manufacturers World Championship crown and clearly a great contender for the drivers to win the World Champion title.

Two works cars will be run by JAS Motorsport for Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro next season with further Civics to be entered by private outfits Zengo Motorsport and Proteam Racing for Hungary's Norbert Michelisz and Moroccan Mehdi Bennani respectively.
