The pics were posted at midnight, PST today by Honda's Instagram account. I remember pics of the white test mule and the rear wing mounts looked solid. Maybe they were shrouds for testing or for disguise?

I'm assuming the front ducts/fog light caves are non functional like the previous generation if they're taped off on the test mules.

I wonder if the production CTRs will have bigger fenders.

Also, take a closer look at the camo design of the red test mule.

I've never seen the red photos, thank you for sharing.

The wing design is interesting, more inline with GT spec wings, and the headlights resemble the latest generation Civic which I'll hold comments on. That red camouflage is a first for me.

Those look like Civic Type-R profile line drawings on the camo. Nice way to obscure details. =)

The Nurburgring test video makes me wonder that the new CTR may look amazing in red.
