The end is nigh for the legendary Honda Civic Type R. It\u2019s been announced that sales of the current and utterly sensational FL5 generation will be coming to an end in the UK and Europe next year due to stringent new emissions regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark the occasion, the brand has created a new special – edition version of our two – time Hot Hatch of the Year, called the Honda Civic Type R Ultimate Edition. Only 40 are being made in total, and these will be sold across the entire continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK will receive 10 of those and each one will cost \u00a357,905. Thankfully they aren\u2019t all going to the brand\u2019s favourite customers, and instead they\u2019re being sold on a \u2018first come, first served\u2019 basis, meaning it\u2019s a race to the dealership for whoever wants this piece of hot hatch history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDesigned to embody 28 years of hot hatch performance\u201d, according to Honda, the Ultimate Edition sports Championship White paint contrasted by a black roof, various carbon – fibre components including the big rear spoiler, and of course, some bespoke bright red graphics across the bonnet and down the sides, with their colour matching the iconic Type R badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s more carbon inside, specifically on the centre console and the door sills, and when anyone opens the front doors, the Type R logo will be projected onto the ground. Those lucky few buyers will also receive a gift box containing a numbered emblem \u2013 from one to 40 \u2013 and a carbon key ring, custom – made floor mats, and a car cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exceptional drivetrain hasn\u2019t been touched, meaning under the bonnet is a 2.0 – litre turbocharged four – cylinder engine putting out 325bhp and 420Nm of torque which, in traditional hot hatch fashion, is sent exclusively to the front wheels via an equally old – school (and magnificent) six – speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regular Honda Civic Type R is still available to order for now, with prices starting from \u00a351,905, and you can still bag an Ultimate Edition if you\u2019re quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re told the cause of death for the legendary hot hatch is new Euro 6e – bis engine regulations that are due to come into effect in January 2026. But while the Civic Type R is going away, Honda is planning to launch 13 next – generation hybrid cars from 2027 to 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honda\u2019s strategy and product boss for Europe, Hannah Swift, said: \u201cThe industry is changing, and our model range is having to evolve with it in accordance with European legislation. However, Type R has always been Honda\u2019s ultimate expression of our passion for driving excitement, and we look forward to celebrating its heritage in the weeks and months ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
