Spotted testing on roads around the Nurburgring in Germany, updates to the Type R appear to be rather minor and limited to a new front and rear bumper. Closer inspection reveals a new set of winglets appears to have been added to the air intakes at the front and to the plastic cladding beneath the rear lamps.
Of course that doesn’t mean there aren’t further changes beneath the skin. Renault has openly admitted to chasing the Type R’s Nurburgring lap record with the new Megane RS, and Honda could be using the mild update as an opportunity to add some more power and make some chassis tweaks to help the Type R maintain its title as the world’s fastest front-wheel drive car.
