Honda will build an NGTC version of the latest Civic for next season's British Touring Car Championship.
The new-shape Civic is to be launched soon and Team Dynamics, which currently runs the works Honda programme in the BTCC, will build the new cars.
It is the first time a manufacturer-backed effort has committed to the NGTC rules, which were introduced this season.
David Hodgetts, managing director of Honda UK, said: "We are delighted to enter the new Civic in next year's BTCC, and hope to build on the success we've already had with the current model.
"We've made significant improvements to the new road car, and we're confident those changes will make a competitive race car too."
Honda driver Matt Neal added: "The team's development of the car is already underway. I'm sure it will keep Honda at the front."
Honda's Gordon Shedden and Neal are currently second and third in the standings with the current Civic, which was introduced in the BTCC in 2007.
