Honda to stop four-door Civic Type R production
Honda has announced that it will discontinue production of the four-door Civic Type R (FD2R) at the end of August 2010.
The first-generation model launched in 1997 and was produced at Suzuka Factory. The second-generation model following in 2001, was produced at Honda of the U.K. Manufacturing Ltd. For the current, third-generation Civic Type R that was released in 2007, the production has returned to Suzuka Factory.
Type R models are specially tuned to take full advantage of the potential of the base model and provide a racing car-like driving feel. First offered on the NSX in 1992, the Type R range was added to the Integra in 1995 and to the Civic in 1997.
On the other hand, the Japanese giant has also announced that it will begin sales of a limited edition version of the Civic Type R Euro (FN2R), in Japan this fall. It will feature an updated exterior design for the 2010 model year. Produced in Europe, the hot hatch will build on the original styling and refined performance of its well-received predecessors.
