Honda's latest sports car isn't just a hot hatchback, it's nuclear.

The 2023 Civic Type R will be the most powerful vehicle the brand has ever sold in the U.S., but exactly how powerful that is has yet to be revealed.

The compact is the latest in a line of high performance Civics that dates back to the 1990s, but was first offered in the U.S. with the last generation from 2017 to 2021.

That one had a 306 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine powering the front wheels, so expect a fair bit more than that in the new one.

It will also only be offered with a six-speed manual transmission, in keeping with the track-focused intent of its upgraded suspension, brakes and tires.
