Unpleasant news for fans of the Civic Type R hot hatch in the European market.

Honda has decided to discontinue offering this model due to its failure to comply with stricter Euro standards.

However, as a final tribute, Honda has launched the Civic Type R Ultimate Edition, with only 40 units available.

Each of these high-performance vehicles is painted in Championship White, featuring red stripes on the hood and sides, a black roof, and a carbon fiber rear spoiler.

Additionally, there are Type R logo puddle lights, carbon fiber trim on the door sills and center console, and ambient lighting in the door panels, cup holders, footwell, and under the seats.

The 40 owners of this special model will also receive a gift box containing a numbered emblem and a carbon fiber keyring.

There are no changes in terms of mechanics, as the Civic Type R still retains its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, producing 325 hp and 420 Nm of torque.

With a six-speed manual transmission, this power is sent to the front wheels, enabling acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds.

Pricing details have not yet been disclosed, but with its status as a limited edition model, it is expected to be more expensive than the current Civic Type R, which costs £51,905 (RM297,938).
