During the 2018 SMMT Test Day, Honda unveiled one of the year’s most unconventional concepts. Built from a pre-production version of the Civic Type R, this pickup truck concept swapped the hot hatch’s C-pillars and roof for a roll bar, stripping the rear seats and trunk to make space for the open bed. Now a two-seater, the concept truck retains base Civic Type R functionality, which includes a top speed of about 165 mph and a 0-60 mph time of roughly six seconds. The original body kit is still intact, finished in unmistakable “Rallye Red.”

Naturally, the Civic Type R pickup isn’t scheduled to hit production.
