All the windows stay glass, the rear seats remain and there’s no carbon wheels or brakes on offer here.

You also get a steering wheel rim wrapped in black and red how’s this one? Mad?In our short drive in it, absolutely. And I’d wager a lot of it’s down to those Cup 2s. Our first go was limited to a dozen laps of the tight, technical Great Tew circuit in the p*ssing rain. The tenacity of the Type R’s braking, and the keenness of its front end into corners, was mesmerising. But too much aggression led to the kind of oversteer the standard FK8 rarely exhibits, and driving the Limited Edition smoothly in such sodden conditions meant taking a wider line into the corner, turning in a smidge later so that more speed could be scrubbed off to avoid overlapping brakes and steering even for a yet… what a hilariously crazed handful this Civic was with that smoothness sacrificed. Sure, the rear end snapped in a way it didn’t in the standard FK8 we drove beforehand, but such is the richness of the Type R’s communication – the feedback from its steering wheel and brake pedal are up there with Motorsport 911s – you know every millimetre of the car’s movements, even in nasty weather. I was grinning throughout each slide, not gritting my it like driven, y’know, normally?We’re yet to drive the Limited Edition on road, or in drier conditions. I suspect it’ll ride with the surprising suppleness of the regular Type R while gripping even more ruthlessly on a sun-blessed B-road. I reckon it’ll feel I don’t think it’ll be a better road car than standard. Losing the air con, stereo and nav – with no option to pop them back in – wounds this car’s usability. A lot. And yet the rear seats have stayed. I’d have liked to see those go, too, saving more weight and indulging this car’s ‘special occasion’ vibe more visibly. Because as it is, I reckon you’ll get broadly the same experience by slotting some Cup 2s onto your regular Type R while retaining the climate and audio equipment that’ll encourage a proper road that it matters; it’s rarer than Renault’s £52k Megane Trophy R and sold out in an hour, and I doubt anyone on the list will be disappointed one iota when they get their hands on the Limited Edition. Let’s just hope it’s not raining too biblically when they do…Score: 9/10 Abhishek Katariya Feb 24, 2020 For Honda Civic Type R KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition has been revealed by the company which will obviously be sold in limited numbers depending on the markets the current-gen Civic Type R is available. While the US market will get 600 units, Honda Europe has decided to offer just 100 units. So, the new 2020 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is aimed at fulfilling the distinguishing need of the buyers across the globe. Well, then what’s new? To start with, Honda has explicitly mentioned that it is the “purest Type R to date… developed with track performance as its core focus”. While the powertrain options on offer remain the same as before, what’s new is the weight of the car. Honda mentions that the new Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition is 47 kg lighter than the regular model which will have a great impact on the performance. You’d still find the same V-TEC four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine under the hood that pumps out 320 PS of power at 6,500 rpm and 400 Nm of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. The power mill is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox that transfers power to the front wheels. The weight has been reduced by including new alloys that are 20-inch BBS forged alloys that accounts for approximately 8 per cent weight reduction, revamped dampers, and a recalibrated steering wheel that offers supreme feedback and control. Additionally, the rear wiper has been removed, while on the inside, AC system, infotainment head unit, and tonneau cover have been chucked away. When that wasn’t enough, the company also reduced the amount of sound-deadening materials in the dash, front bumper, rear hatch panel and roof. On the outside, a contrasting colour scheme of bright yellow and black has been followed. All the limited edition models will be offered with the same, this yellow in the US is called Phoenix Yellow, whereas, in Europe, it’s referred to Sunlight Yellow. The exterior elements like mirror caps, roof and air intake vent on the bonnet get black paint. You’d also notice a Civic badge on the tailgate that’s finished in dark chrome. Inside, it sports Alcantara steering with red highlights, a new teardrop-style gear knob, red bucket seats and a plaque with the build number of the car. On the safety front, it gets the Honda Sensing Safety suite that includes features like Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning. If the yellow is too flashy for your liking, you can go with the Civic Type R Sport Line, with more discrete aerodynamic styling, features and refined ride quality. This version of the Civic Type R comes with a low-deck rear spoiler, grey accent line at the lower edge of the car, soundproofing materials in the tailgate and boot and smaller 19-inch wheels finished in dark grey on the outside. There is a new Racing Blue colour on offer with the Sport Line and the standard CTR. While on the inside, it is bestowed with Alcantara steering wheel, teardrop-style gear knob, black bucket seats with contrasting red stitching, air-conditioning system and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The Adaptive Damper System’s control software has been updated for a better response along with its braking system. The braking duties are taken care of by the two-piece floating front discs and new brake pads. This new braking setup reduces the unsprung weight by kg approx. There is a new system called the Honda LogR performance datalogger that is responsible for recording different performance parameters through sensors and onboard computer which can be monitored by the driver later via a mobile app. There are three modes, Log Mode that monitors and maps vehicle’s location using GPS and gathers braking, acceleration, cornering G and other data with the help of sensors. The other mode is Auto Score in which a score is generated based on driver’s driving behaviour, data recorded here is for acceleration, deceleration, turning and straight-line driving. Then, there is Performance Monitor showing real-time information like temperatures, oil and atmospheric pressures, coolant temperature, gear position and G-meter. The Civic Type R Limited Edition will be made available from summer this year, pricing of which is yet to be revealed. The models like Civic Type R Sport Line and GT can be bought in Germany starting this Spring. While the former is priced at 41,990 euros (RM190,127 approx), the latter gets a retail tag of 41,490 euros (RM187,858 approx).

That’s probably because we had waited so long – 20 years since the original Civic Type R’s introduction in 1997 – for the hi-po Honda to come stateside. But the current Type R is based on the 10th-generation Civic, and with the 11th generation already previewed, its days are numbered. So, Honda’s sending it off with a bang in the form of the 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition. One thing’s for certain, there’ll be no mistaking this special edition for anything else. It’s yellow, you may have noticed. The exact hue is Phoenix Yellow, one of the hero colors of the 1997 Civic Type R and one with great nostalgic value to hard-core Honda fans. It’s also got a blacked-out roof and hood scoop, but this limited edition is more than just an appearance package. Somehow, Honda has managed to squeeze even more heat out of an already spicy ghost pepper. The standard-issue Type R is a joy to drive – if you can call a front-drive, Nürburgring-record-breaker "standard." With 306 horsepower and instantaneous direction-changing ability, it zips through pods of rambling SUVs like they’re standing still. Its 295 pound-feet of peak torque kicks in at a mere 2,500 rpm, so you never have to hunt for the right gear. Of course, you may want to change gears anyway just to revel in the shifter’s bolt-action precision and the weight of its aluminum shift knob. The clutch isn’t too soft, like many modern third pedals dumbed-down for the stall-prone, providing just enough pedal travel and resistance to modulate well. The Civic Type R’s true calling, however, is the track. And remember, we're still talking about the regular, unlimited version here. Dial up the +R drive mode to put the adaptive suspension in its firmest setting and it’ll corner flatter than a week-old soda. Even after repeated stomping on the brake pedal, the four-pot Brembos consistently yank the car to a halt like the Millennium Falcon coming out of hyperspace. Throttle response evinces no turbo lag, just accelerative force that churns all the way to redline. Wheelspin is banished by a helical limited-slip differential. There’s no torque steer either, thanks to dual-axis struts. In fact, the Civic Type R doesn’t behave like a front-wheel-drive car at all. Its most amazing engineering feat is that even when you go into a corner hot, even if you break traction, it doesn’t understeer. So, we’ve established that the Civic Type R is a downright magical circuit weapon. The Limited Edition takes all that and adds lightness. Honda shaved nearly 50 pounds from the regular Type R’s curb weight by deleting things such as sound deadening, the rear parcel shelf, and the rear wiper. That might not seem like a lot when you’re talking about a 3,121-pound car, but we noticed a marked difference when driving the cars back to back at the Thermal Club track outside Palm Springs, Calif. That’s because a bunch of the weight savings also comes from 20-inch BBS forged alloy wheels and exclusive Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which discard 22 pounds of unsprung weight while adding grip. Suddenly, acceleration felt as if the torque curve had shifted left by about 800 rpm. The steering got quicker, and turn-in arrived sooner. In fact, steering development lead engineer Norimasa Arai benchmarked another Type R special, the Japan-market NSX-R, for steering feel. As a result, we easily added a couple of mph to each turn, and in racing those incremental gains are everything. Honda has already confirmed that the 11th-generation Civic will have a Type R variant. Since this Limited Edition is both the pinnacle and swan song of the current-gen Type R, we should take a moment to reflect on what it means to wear the Type R badge. The original Civic Type R is still a quintessential example of Honda engineering. It generated an astounding 182 hp from a high-revving naturally aspirated engine. Its peak power and 118 lb-ft of torque arrived near its 8,400-rpm redline, but there was something outrageously satisfying about winding up those old Honda motors to keep the momentum going. The current car charges so angrily that it’s almost too easy to drive fast, and that takes away some of the magic – though it does replace it with a different type of powerful sorcery. Then there’s the aesthetics. The original Type R was barely distinguishable from a regular Civic, and there was something wonderfully subtle (and tasteful) about that. Now, everyone knows you’re coming. The massive wing, plethora of faux vents and sheetmetal creases are too loud. It’s also literally loud, whether from its weird triple exhaust (well, dual exhaust plus a central resonator) that signals to the whole neighborhood that you’re coming ‘round the corner, or from the fake engine sounds piped into the cabin through the speakers. There’s a purity, a distillation of the driving experience that has given way to flashiness and fury. We know turbo engines are here to stay, and that the current car will run rings around its great-great-grandfather. The Limited Edition has already set a new front-drive record at Honda’s own Suzuka Circuit. For the successor, we’d like to see a version that continues with the incredible defiance of the laws of physics, but without the visual and auditory brashness of the current model. There will only be 600 Civic Type R Limited Editions sold in the United States. Each one will be affixed with a plaque denoting its production order. We think that there will be enough buyers who respect the marque to drop $43,995, or $6,500 more on top of the base Type R, on a Phoenix Yellow tribute to one of the all-time greats. Hopefully, the next one will strike a balance between then and now to be even greater.
