UK production of the Honda Civic Type R will end in October because its high-revving 2.0-litre VTEC engine has fallen foul of European emission regulations.
The Civic Type R’s 2.0-litre unit doesn’t comply with forthcoming EuroV emission laws, so Honda has decided to remove it from UK price lists rather than make the necessary changes. More than 12,000 Civic Type R units have been sold in the UK since January 2007.
