The Honda Civic Type R was built from 1997 to 2021.
The FK8 Civic Type R, the most traded version: The FK8 Civic Type R marked Honda's triumphant return to the American market after a 15-year absence. This angular, aggressive hatchback packed 306 turbocharged horsepower into a front-wheel-drive package that could embarrass supercars on track. Built at Honda's Swindon facility, only 47,000 examples were produced globally before the plant's closure. The FK8's party trick was its sophisticated chassis tuning—adaptive dampers, helical limited-slip differential, and multi-link rear suspension transformed what could have been another torque-steering hot hatch into a precision instrument. Dealers initially marked these up heavily, with some selling for $60,000+. Today, clean examples with reasonable miles are increasingly sought after, especially as Honda transitions toward electrification. The FK8 represents peak naturally-aspirated VTEC turbo technology and the last of the truly wild-looking Type Rs.
