In 2021, Honda offered a Limited Edition Type R. Only 600 were designated for the US and the car would only be available in Phoenix Yellow pearl paint. The LE Type R is 38 pounds (17 kg) lighter than the standard Type R and comes equipped with Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires and has a gloss-black roof, exterior mirrors and hood scoop

The Civic Type R Prototype was unveiled in September 2016 at the Paris Motor Show, and the production version unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The new car builds on Honda's heritage in developing high-performance hatchbacks.

The FK8 Civic Type R uses the same engine as its predecessor, a turbocharged inline-four with increased power to 320 PS (235 kW; 316 hp) in the European and Japanese version but remains the same 310 PS (228 kW; 306 hp) in other markets. The engine is mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission continuing the tradition of its predecessors with limited-slip differential as standard. The aerodynamic elements increase downforce even further as compared to the outgoing model. The FK8 has a top speed of 272 km/h (169 mph) making it the fastest Civic Type R model to date.
