Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition sold out in the U.K.

Honda U.K. has announced that its entire allocation of the Civic Type R Limited Edition has sold out before any customer has even seen the car.

With only 100 of these cars intended for the European market, just 20 are available to the U.K., making it set to be one of the rarest cars on the road in 2020.

The Civic Type R Limited Edition represents the purest expression of the Civic Type R, with less weight, improved dynamics and a strong driver focus.

Developed with improved track performance as its core focus, the Civic Type R Limited Edition will feature lightweight 20-inch BBS forged alloy wheels, unique 'Sunlight Yellow' paint, and a 47kg weight saving over the standard Type R.

Inside, the Civic Type R Limited Edition features revised tactility and improved touch points, with a new Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and a counterweighted teardrop gear knob. Unlike some of its track focused rivals, the Civic Type R Limited Edition retains its back seats.
