Farewell to a Legend: The Final Honda Civic Type R Arrives at Western & Barnetts Honda

An icon of performance. A benchmark for hot hatches. A car that’s made hearts race and circuits tremble. The legendary Honda Civic Type R has reached the end of its remarkable production run - and Western & Barnetts Honda is proud to announce that we have secured the very last 20 examples available in the UK. This truly marks the end of an era.

From its high-revving 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine delivering a staggering 329 PS and 420 Nm of torque, to its precision six-speed manual gearbox and rev-matching brilliance, the Civic Type R is the embodiment of Honda’s racing DNA made road-ready. It’s not just quick - it’s record-breaking.

In 2023, the Civic Type R set the front-wheel-drive lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, clocking an astonishing 7 minutes 44.881 seconds. It has also reigned supreme at Suzuka, cementing its status as the ultimate expression of Honda’s performance philosophy: born from the track, built for the road.

Every detail, from its lightweight chassis and track-tuned suspension to its aerodynamic rear wing and bold, purposeful stance, has been engineered to excite. For Honda fans, hot-hatch enthusiasts, and performance purists alike, this is more than a car - it’s a legend in motion.

Now, with the final production models arriving on UK soil, an exclusive opportunity awaits those who understand what makes a Type R truly special. Western & Barnetts Honda proudly holds the last 20 Civic Type Rs in the country, each one a collector’s piece and a driver’s dream.

The legend ends - but its legacy will never fade.
