About the Honda Civic Type R (2001)

The EP3 generation of the Type R, launched in 2001, was built at the Swindon plant in the UK — the first time a Type R was produced outside Japan.

History and trivia

It packed the naturally aspirated K20A engine producing 200 hp, one of the most celebrated four-cylinders of its era for revving cleanly to 8,000 rpm and its sharp VTEC response. Unlike other Type R generations, the EP3 was offered only as a three-door, front-wheel-drive hatchback, prioritising light weight and weight distribution over practicality.
