Oh yes! Honda has axed its typeR production. The Type R series of Honda are going to be stopped this year. Production is going to stop in October and Sales will be sealed in December. Major reason described is that the type R engine i.e; 197 bhp 2.0 litre engine doesn't comply with the euro 5 emission regulations.
What this means no NSX, no Integra and no civic type R from now on. This is going to put a great blow to Honda sales as Civic Type R was one of the most selling hot hatches in Europe. Although there are many good options like Focus ST, Megane R250 and Golf GTi but still people will miss Type R collection a lot.
Honda says that they might will make a new engine but workon it hasn't been started yet. Hoping to see Type R back soon with more powerful and less emissive engine.
