Honda is saying goodbye to the Civic Type R in Europe with a final edition called the Ultimate Edition, limited to only 40 units.
Each car comes with an exclusive Championship White paint, red details, a black roof, and interior finishes in carbon fiber with a red weave. Buyers also receive a special kit including a numbered plaque, keychain, customized mats, and a car cover.
The engine and transmission remain the same: a 2.0 turbo with 325 hp, front-wheel drive, and a six-speed manual gearbox, a combination praised for its performance and drivability.
The model features a series of aerodynamic and structural improvements compared to the previous generation. The design has been softened, with cleaner lines, smaller wheels (but visually larger), and a new lighter and more efficient rear wing. The car also gained technical advances such as better brake cooling and a lighter, more responsive turbo, improving power delivery. Downforce has also increased significantly, and the exhaust now has three outlets in a new configuration.
Inside, the perceived quality has risen with a new lower driving position, a dashboard with analog LEDs, and the new Individual mode, which allows customization of various driving aspects.
Although Honda has not yet released official performance and price data, it is speculated that the model exceeds 340 hp and does 0 to 100 km/h in about 5 seconds.
With this refined farewell, the Type R ends its European journey as one of the most complete and exciting hot hatches of recent times.
