Quattroruote, the most important italian car magazine and one of the most prominent magazines in europe wrote a couple of days ago that there will be no typeR in the iminent future. The first cause of that is also the main cause the old typeR was shut down (the engine was not compliant with european eco standards).

There were pictures showing a civic with a rear wing near the Nurburgring circuit but as the official p.r. said they tested the new 1.6 turbo diesel (the first earth dreams engine). Maybe this is only P.R. BS. I just wanted to post this.

another set of pics, supposedly testing at the ring. Note that it looks very similar, but it's definitely wearing different rims.

Different rims but the same spoiler and similar towbar lol

By the way: the ring is a great spot to wear tyres off. I did a couple of laps there and in 2 laps my brakes were smelling and I got a stomackache from the adrenaline rush
