Oh no! This new 'Ultimate Edition' marks the end for the FL5 Honda Civic Type R
Honda set to end Type R sales in the UK and Europe, reveals limited run of 40 UE cars. Sob
Bad news! After just three years on sale the FL5-generation Honda Civic Type R - the hot hatch GOAT - is being killed off in the UK and Europe. Good news! It's going out in a blaze of turbocharged, bewinged, Championship White glory.
A limited blaze, of course. Because Honda is only making 40 of these very final ‘Ultimate Edition’ cars. It gets Honda’s classic white paint and a series of red accents and decals, including a go-faster pinstripe on the bonnet and a staggered motif along the sides.
There’s more carbon detailing on the rear wing, doorstep trim and centre console, while the cabin gets additional lighting for the cupholder and foot wells. A Type R logo now also projects onto the ground when the doors are opened. Nice.
Honda will throw in a celebratory gift box as part of the deal too, which contains a carbon key ring, custom floor mats and a bespoke car cover.
