Honda has confirmed that its NSX and Civic Type R concepts will be making their UK debuts at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next month.

Both models will go on sale in production form next year.

The Civic Type R concept is described by the manufacturer as a "racing car for the road," and is designed to highlight the styling direction Honda will take with the production model. Revealed in March at the Geneva Motor Show, the new car will be the "most extreme Type R yet," thanks to a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine producing "at least 280PS" (276bhp).

The NSX meanwhile, is the revival of one of the most evocative names in Honda's history. Designed to go up against the likes of the Ferrari 458 and the McLaren 650S, the NSX marks Honda's return to the supercar market.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed runs from 26-29 June.
