Not sure if this is a repost.

Taking the Type R philosophy to its logical conclusion, a lighter Civic Type R will be available. The deletion of items such as the audio system, rear load cover, engine under cover and reduced noise insulation material brings weight down by 40 kg. Like its predecessor, the new Type R will also be homologated for racing (FIA Group N and Group A), meeting a large demand from existing customers. A full range of competitive racing parts and racing service will also be made available for them to fully enjoy their passion.

Hopefully it'll be properly light then. I was rather alarmed to find out that the new i-CTDi 3 door Type S Civic is 50kg heavier than a standard ATR. The diesel lump probably adds some weight, but i hope Honda aren't signing up to the weight gain programme that almost all of the motor industry is into. As Colin Chapman said: Simplify, then add lightness.
