The new Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition, a lighter, more focussed version of the updated 2020 Civic Type R, has proved so popular that it sold out in the UK before anyone had even seen the car.
Limited Edition Type Rs are always popular, but to sell the entire UK allocation of 20 cars before anyone has seen one in the metal is very good news for Honda. Whether or not the other 80 allocated to the rest of Europe we’re not sure – the UK is, after all, a hot hatch hotbed.
What will these 20 customers be getting? Aside from the bright ‘Sunshine Yellow’ paintwork (other colours are available), the Type R Limited Edition weighs 47kg less than the standard Civic Type R, thanks to the removal of such luxuries as air conditioning and the infotainment system. There’s also less sound deadening, lighter wheels (10kg less in total), modified dampers, a revised suspension system and stickier tyres.
Put simply, this will be the most driver-focussed FK8 Civic Type R on the road, although we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s one big goodbye special before the FK8 is put out to pasture. If you want one, you’ll have to wait a couple of years for one to come up for sale for substantially more than the £39,995 it was bought for…
