Among the new features that can be noticed from the off on the Civic is that the spoiler is no longer set into the back window, although it is still the location of the brake and tail lights.The design is intended to be bold and aggressive and has been dubbed a “racing car for the road” by the design team.Meanwhile, the NSX is going for a more modern and simple feel in its design. Yet it comes with a few edgy features that could only really be seen on a supercar and it takes on a low and wide stance.On the inside, it has a strong driving position, great visibility and what has been titled Simple Sports Interface, meaning that the interior is not cluttered with too many extra design bits and pieces so that the driver can focus on the experience.To begin to get a feel for these cars, Honda is also setting up a racetrack at the event so that visitors can have a go at racing remote control versions of them. There will be a live leader board and the races will be broadcast throughout the weekend and uploaded to YouTube. The winner will be awarded a celebratory wreath to give them the feel of a Formula One win.Visitors can get involved in the racing for free, although Honda will be taking donations for Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, the beneficiary for Goodwood Festival of Speed."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Honda NSX and Civic Type-R concepts coming to Goodwood","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/cars\/honda-nsx-civic-type-r-concepts-coming-goodwood\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
