Honda revealed that he would no longer sell her formidable Civic Type-R in Europe at the end of this year, ending a 30-year inheritance and causing many fans of the awarded hot hatch to the tear or two.
In fact, Honda does not really offer anything about a sports car for the moment, but that has not prevented it from investing money in the development of an interactive card of “dream drives”.
Organized by “automotive experts, driving enthusiasts, as well as owners of civic types”, the tailor -made website has the best driving roads across Europe, covering everything, short explosions in Denmark, more winding mountain passes in Switzerland.
The elegant digital interface presents fairly obvious candidates, such as the Dello Stelvio pass in Italy, but it also offers less known road trips that cross Estonia and Lithuania.

Some of the other protruding facts include the Blue Road (which takes you to Sweden and Finland through the fjords and the lakes), the Turini pass in France (which features in the Rally of Monte Carlo), and the Water of the Wild Atlantic of 1500 km which leads you through the west coast of Ireland.
All star routes have a “Drive Now” button that clicks on a full route planter on Google Maps, including all traffic notifications or limitations of road works.
Honda says that this collection of specially controlled and unprecedented roads is the “ideal way to disconnect the Civic Type R type in Europe” and that it allows owners to go out and enjoy their cars.
In addition, the dedicated microsite is accessible both on the mobile and the office, allowing you to search for a specific route or to find an inspiration by country, the type of route, distance or duration.
Driving: Take advantage while you can
If you have a Honda Civic Type -R – or any type -R model of the Honda rear catalog – Lucky You. The current program of the Japanese brand consists of relatively uninspired SUVs and jazz, which shows no sign of expiration.
Personally, I am not too sure to tackle the North Coast 500 of Scotland in a ZR -V hybrid would strike in the same way as living it in an NSX, but a fair game to the brand to admit that some customers always appreciate the thrill of driving – and recognizing its type of type R.
Hopefully this means that Honda has exciting cars in the pipeline, because everything that replaces the Civic Type-R has large boots to fill.
