Want to know what a new Civic Type R looks like at your place? Grab your phone

The new Honda Civic Type R might not be here yet, but never fear – you can already head over to Honda’s Japanese site, spec your ideal Type R and even place an Augmented Reality Type R in your garage. Or office. Or the palm of your hand.

Yes, much like polio and what to do in retirement (haha we’re all going to work until we die, right?), delayed gratification is just something old people had to worry about. Solving the interminable wait between finding out about the new Type R and seeing it is our new friend, AR, here to place a new Type R wherever you think it looks and fits best.

And, depending on your mastery of the three separate Japanese alphabets, you might be able to glean even more than our experience, which basically boiled down to ‘Wow, they spent a lot of time on that AR’, ‘No, seriously, why is anyone picking anything but Competition White?’ and ‘Ha! There’s a little Type R on that guitar amp’.

As for us, all we want is a) an actual Type R to drive, obviously, and b) to see the best and funniest places you lot can put a fake one. So go to it, good people – just stay within the bounds of law and good taste.

And your reward? Never fear! You’ll get your pic up here on this story for as long as TopGear.com (or the Wayback Machine, amirite?) exists.
