Honda has introduced a new model year version of its British-built Civic Type R Euro in Japan. The 2011MY batch will be the last of this model series to make its way to Japan as production of the current generation three-door Civic Type R has been terminated in Europe because its 2.0-litre VTEC engine does not meet the Euro V emissions regulations.
The Japanese automaker had imported 1 850 examples of the Civic Type R Euro from Britain in late 2009. This time, Honda will bring a total of 1 500 units of the 2011MY version of its high-revving hot hatch. The only changes over the previous model year are the addition of a new Crystal Black Pearl color, some trim updates such as the different finish of the fuel cap and a new numbered plaque.
Feeling a little deflated? We can’t help feeling that way either and relish the day we can bring you news of a brand new Japanese banzai hot hatch!
