The British-built Civic Type R will be exported to Japan from next year.
The acclaimed 3-door hot hatch, manufactured at Honda’s factory in Swindon,
England, is to be shipped to Japan where it will go on sale during 2010.

The model will be called the Type R EURO, to distinguish it from the
Japanese-market 4-door Civic Type R saloon, and will be sold in limited
numbers.

Japan is the third country outside Europe to import this high-revving hot
hatch with the red ‘H’ badge, following Australia and South Africa. The
demand for the European-produced car in Honda’s domestic market is testament
to the dedication and skill of Associates at Honda’s largest European
factory – the only production facility in the world that builds the Civic
Type R 3-door.

Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) also builds the 5-door Civic, Civic Type
S and CR-V for Europe and will start production of the Jazz, this Autumn.

Japan also imported the previous Swindon-built Civic Type-R (EP3 model) in
2001.
