Default Team Dynamics Civic Prototype

Spotted this at the BTCC meet at Donington - apparently it is a prototype which might go into production if there is enough interest. I think it looks awesome:

Their own, or is it related to the Civic Type-R under development by Honda?

Not sure about the latest civic shape. From some angles it looks really good but that rear 3/4 looks awful. Makes the car look dowdy IMO, not helped by the rear light cluster which looks awful....even the previous gen looked better. Front looks good though, perhaps a saloon version looks better resolved?

It's their own, and been around for ages.

It was earmarked for limited production but last I heard it had been canned.

Nothing at all to do with the new CTR.

Front bumper of this version looks rubbish. It looks like it's got cotton wool balls in its cheeks!!

Very aerodynamic cars > perceived as ugly. Civic Bagpuss, 1er, etc...
