Honda Civic Type R Discontinued in Europe After 2025

Honda Civic Type R Ultimate Edition

Honda will end sales of the Civic Type R in Europe this summer, confirming that the Ultimate Edition will be the model’s final send-off. Production of the FL5-based hot hatchback, a fixture in European performance culture since the 1990s, ends as the company pivots to meet new safety mandates.

Only 40 units of the Ultimate Edition will be offered across Europe, including just 10 for the UK. There will be no further variants.

EU GSR2 Mandate Kills Off the Type R

Starting in July 2024, the EU’s GSR2 safety regulations will require vehicles to have:

  • Driver monitoring systems
  • Emergency lane keeping
  • Speed assist functionality
  • Automatic braking enhancements

The Civic Type R lacks the hardware for these systems. Retrofitting it would require major platform changes. Honda chose not to proceed.

Other models exiting Europe due to GSR2 include:

  • Toyota GR86 (ends December 2024)
  • Mazda MX-5 (limited availability)
  • Porsche 718 (transitioning to EV)

What You Get in the Ultimate Edition

The 2025 Civic Type R Ultimate Edition features exclusive cosmetic and interior upgrades while retaining the FL5 platform and powertrain.

Key Exterior Features:

  • Championship White paint
  • Black-painted roof
  • Red hood and side graphics
  • Carbon-fiber rear wing
  • Red brake calipers

Interior Highlights:

  • Carbon-fiber center console
  • Ambient LED lighting
  • Red-accented seats and steering wheel
  • Serialized plaque (1–40)
  • Commemorative kit: key ring, cover, mats, display box

Performance Specifications: No Changes, No Compromise

Torque310 lb-ft

Pricing and Availability

The UK will receive 10 of the 40 total units. Sales begin in mid-June 2025 on a first-come, first-served basis through select dealerships.

Price in UK: £57,905 (~$74,000 USD)

The price premium is driven by exclusivity, not performance upgrades.

Civic Type R Exits Europe, Continues Elsewhere

Sales of the Civic Type R continue in:

  • United States
  • Japan
  • Canada
  • Australia
  • Thailand

There is no confirmed replacement. However, Honda is exploring electrified performance platforms for future Type R models.

Track Legacy: A Measurable Impact

The Civic Type R holds multiple performance records in Europe, including:

  • 7:43.8 Nürburgring lap (FK8 - 2017)
  • 7:44.9 Nürburgring lap (FL5 - 2023)
  • BTCC titles with Team Dynamics and Honda Yuasa
  • Top Gear and Auto Express hot hatch awards

Conclusion: Europe’s Final Type R Is a Collector’s Target

The 2025 Civic Type R Ultimate Edition marks the end of manual, analog Honda performance in Europe. It’s a send-off with historic value and limited access. Just 40 cars. No follow-ups. No reruns.
