Honda
Civic Type R Limited Edition (FK8)

Why it matters

The Limited Edition was the lightest and most track-focused version of the FK8 Civic Type R, built in small numbered batches for each region. In Japan only 200 were sold, each with a JPN serial on an aluminium emblem.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Honda previewed the edition in early 2020. Weight was saved with BBS forged 20-inch wheels, less sound-deadening in the roof, rear panels, dashboard and front wheel arches, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres were fitted. Paint was Sunlight Yellow II with a black roof and mirrors.

Europe received 100 cars, 20 of them for the UK, which sold out within a month at 39,995 pounds; the USA received 600. The Japanese batch of 200 was priced at 5.5 million yen.
