Sounds like it will be an awesome machine. Honda has been struggling to build cars, so I'm not sure how feasible it will be to get your hands on one, and still be able to retire someday!
Yeah, we realize, it’s not much: some headlights, the grille and that red R.
Other than this photo, Honda only offers this: “The most powerful Honda-branded production vehicle ever offered in the U.S."

In reply to tremm :
If we're talking Acura, then NSX (NC1).
Honda based then whatever came with a V6 and wasn't a C/SUV
Honda V6's are in the 278 hp range. Type R is 306 hp, so it is the most powerful Honda badged car sold in the USA and has been marketed as such. Until July 20.
I'm all about badass FWD cars, but I also think it's humorous that genre cars are now being marketed exactly like superhero movies. First me get a tease of a logo or some minor details, then a full character shot, then a teaser for a teaser, then the actual teaser, then the trailer, then the project gets delayed, so we get nothing for a while, then we hear about revisions, then a revised teaser, then a revised trailer, then insiders start posting spoilers online, then weirdos start making up fake spoilers online, then the product launches but we barely notice because we're already at step 4 for the next big rollout.
Anyway, give it a little more capacity for front camber and I'm totally in.
I want to like it but I fear it'll be a 3300lb 4-door sedan with horrific boyracer bodywork.

Did Honda forget about the Honda Jet? Or should I be expecting some serious thrust on this thing?
I am quite excited about this car. I liked the current one, but the boy racer styling kinda killed it for me. Here's to hoping they can pump enough of these things out that there's some availbility without the dealerships dicking around.
Still the biggest thing for me regarding the current Type R: For how fast it is, it's quite comfortable, too.
I really want to like it, but I'm old enough now where a 2.0T Accord sport with a tune looks like a "close enough" alternative....without the $10k markup
I actually just saw one I think, the hatch was open so I couldn't see any wings or anything but the triple exhaust is still a thing.
Wow - imagine trying to buy one.
