2006 Honda Civic
Coupe: (press release)
Honda Civic Si Concept Makes World Debut at Chicago Auto Show
200HP Civic Si Concept points at future direction for new 2006 Civic
Si Coupe
Chicago, IL February 10, 2005 — The Civic Si Concept, making its
world debut today at the Chicago Auto Show, provides a strong indication
of the styling and performance direction for an all-new production Civic
Si Coupe scheduled to debut later this year.
The production Civic Si Coupe will serve as the performance leader for
a completely redesigned 2006 model Civic lineup that will feature more
emotional styling, added performance and the latest generation of "intelligent"
i-VTEC engine technology. The 2006 Civic lineup, launching this fall,
will include a 4-door Sedan, a 2-door Coupe and Si Coupe, an even more
fuel efficient Civic Hybrid and a natural-gas powered Civic GX.
The Civic Si Concept celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Civic Si
legacy in the U.S. and builds on its performance heritage with a 200-horsepower,
16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000 rpm red line, 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
launch traction and cornering performance.
Other performance features of the Civic Si Concept include 18-inch cast
aluminum wheels, 225/40R18 high performance tires and 4-wheel disc brakes
with large cross-drilled brake rotors and 4-piston Brembo calipers.
"The 2006 Civic Si Coupe will be the most powerful, fastest and
fun-to-drive Si we've ever put on the street, and the Civic Si Concept
sets the direction in terms of its styling, package and performance,"
said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda. "It's
part of a new family of Civic vehicles that build on the already class-leading
values of the Civic in terms of safety, styling, performance and fuel
efficiency."
Designed as an "Advanced Personal Compact," the Civic Si Concept
incorporates a sweeping roofline and ultra-fast windshield rake that
highlights the vehicle's advanced one-motion profile, low and wide stance,
and superior aerodynamic performance. The long trunk deck, with its
frontward sloping bumper, accents the forward motion conveyed by the
overall vehicle shape. Wheel openings have been optimized to minimize
the gap between the tire and the body. Special aerodynamic features
include a full front and side aero kit, rear deck wing and a lower rear
bumper diffuser with an integrated center exhaust system.
The 2006 Civic Si Coupe will be the sixth generation Si, which first
appeared as a three-door hatchback in 1986 with subsequent Civic Si
models appearing in 1989, 1992, 1999 and 2002. The production Si will
make its world debut at the 2005 Specialty Equipment Market Association
(SEMA) show in November. The Civic Si Concept was designed at Honda
R&D America's Los Angeles design center.
OUR TAKE ON THE
2006 HONDA CIVIC: At last the Honda Civic returns to its roots as
a core sport compact tuner. During the 90s, the Honda Civic took the
lead in the tuning market and its sales showed. While the Civic has
always been an appealing vehicle because of its pricing, amenities and
reliability, it seemed to have become a rather mundane and conservative
vehicle in the last few years. The newly reincarnated Civic offers several
packages from a conservative natural gas powered GX sedan to the striking
2006 Civic SI coupe. Either way the new Civic has both upped the ante
and cleared the slate.
