Honda Civic Type R 宣佈退出歐洲市場
對於喜愛的Honda Civic Type R車迷來說，這無疑是一個噩耗，為了因應歐盟嚴苛的 Euro 6e-bis 排放法規，Honda 已證實這款熱血坐駕將逐步退出歐洲市場。
儘管 2025 Honda Civic Type R（FL5 世代）廣受好評，但每公里 189 公克二氧化碳的排放量，加上 Honda 在歐洲缺乏足夠的電動車型來抵銷，讓其越來越難符合新規定。同一法規也導致 Toyota GR86 與 Alpine A110 等性能車被迫在歐洲停產。
為紀念這款傳奇車型在歐洲的謝幕，Honda 將推出限量 40 輛的「Ultimate Edition」特別版 Civic Type R，外觀升級包括紅色賽道條紋、黑色車頂與碳纖維飾件，並附贈紀念禮盒。
雖然退出歐洲，但 Civic Type R 將繼續在其他市場（包括美國與日本）銷售，且維持原有動力機械設定，對部分車迷而言，仍然能夠享受到 Type R 的駕馭快感。

Max Verstappen Slams Front-Wheel-Drive Cars: 'Worst Thing Ever'
Red Bull Racing switched to Honda engines for the 2019 season when it ended a 12-year partnership with Renault. Even though Honda left Formula 1 after the 2021 championship, the turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 powering the RB21 this year still uses a Honda-developed engine. Over the years, F1 driver Max Verstappen has appeared in various commercials promoting production cars, including the Civic Type R. But from 2026 until at least 2030, RBR will use a new powertrain co-developed with Ford. The four-time F1 champion is already starring in a loosely veiled ad for the Blue Oval. Riding shotgun in an RS200 driven by journalist Chris Harris before hopping behind the wheel of a Mustang GTD , Verstappen didn't hold back on his feelings about front-wheel-drive cars: 'I think it's really boring. For me, it's like anti-driving. I drove sometimes in the simulator. It's like the worst thing ever.' As you can imagine, Verstappen didn't conveniently forget he used to promote the CTR not that many years ago. Still the fastest front-wheel-drive production car around the Nürburgring , Honda's hot hatch is generally regarded as one of the most enjoyable FWD cars. Nevertheless, it's perfectly understandable why Red Bull's driver gravitates toward RWD. It's not just because the Mustang GTD sends its V-8 power to the rear axle, as contractual obligations take precedence. Much like when Verstappen endorsed a rear-wheel-drive Honda by starring in an ad for the electric city car, calling it 'fun to drive' and a 'great electric urban vehicle.' It wouldn't be fair to criticize Verstappen, given it was part of the job to say positive things about the CTR and other Honda products. While CTR and GTI fans might take offense at his statement, at the end of the day, it's all about personal preferences. Don't bring out the pitchforks just yet. Ford itself is no stranger to performance front-wheel-drive cars either, although the days of the Fiesta ST are over, and the Focus ST is only months away from retirement . Had those cars still been around, it's easy to imagine Verstappen thrashing either hot hatch with a big smile on his face in an official ad.

F1 'silly season' puts Red Bull, Mercedes and Cadillac on the spot
It's time for Formula 1's risk-taking drivers, overworked engineers and harried team principals to relax. At least in theory. With four weeks until the next race, including a mandatory 14-day shutdown of all racing operations from next week, the F1 season is on hold. It's what F1 calls 'silly season,' the time when contract talks — and rumors — fill the vacuum. It often seemed like silly season started early amid feverish speculation about a move from Red Bull to Mercedes for four-time champion Max Verstappen. Now that Verstappen has confirmed he's staying with Red Bull, other decisions — such as contract renewals at Mercedes — could speed up. Russell at Mercedes The idea was to lock in experienced drivers who could help with development throughout 2025, so the very different 2026 cars wouldn't come as a surprise. Mercedes does things a little differently. As well as checking out a potential Verstappen move, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has waited on contract extensions for George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, who aren't confirmed beyond 2025. Both went through Mercedes' young driver program, which helped them through the junior series and seemingly gives the team more control over their careers. 'Mercedes manage me as well, so it's not really a deadline in my hands as such,' four-time GP winner Russell said last month, adding he'd had no talks with other teams. Antonelli started his debut F1 season strongly but the 18-year-old driver's performances have dipped in recent months. Red Bull's other seats Verstappen's decision has taken a lot of pressure off, but the broader Red Bull organization still has three seats to fill — one at Red Bull and two at Racing Bulls. It's not clear who will take the final decision, and when, after longtime team principal Christian Horner was fired. If the logic behind dropping the underperforming Sergio Perez last year was that any Red Bull replacement would do better, it's been proved wrong. Liam Lawson lasted two races as Verstappen's teammate and Yuki Tsunoda has only scored points in three of 12 race weekends since his promotion. The team's engine partnership with Honda ends this year, which could affect Honda-backed Tsunoda's place. French rookie Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls has outscored both Tsunoda and Lawson this season and might be the frontrunner for the Red Bull seat. F1's governing body, the FIA, made an exception to grant Red Bull-backed Formula 2 driver Arvid Lindblad its super license in June before his 18th birthday. Cadillac is coming 'That's actually a nice seat... I wouldn't mind.' Valtteri Bottas' comments in a social media skit in June fawning over a Cadillac road car went viral and cemented him in many fans' minds as the front-runner to join the new General Motors-backed team for 2026. Bottas and Perez are both F1 race winners, popular with fans, who had underwhelming seasons in 2024 and aren't racing in 2025. Their experience might be a boost to a new team, though other reported options include Ferrari reserve Zhou Guanyu, an ex-Sauber driver who could unlock big sponsor backing from China, or ex-Haas driver Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher. The Alpine carousel Ruthless? Yes. Successful? No. Alpine benched the departing Esteban Ocon for Jack Doohan for the last race of 2024, then dropped Doohan for Franco Colapinto six races into 2025. One option is Alpine reserve Paul Aron, who'd be the first Estonian in F1. He's had two practice drives with Sauber this year but was unlucky last week when his car broke down Friday after just eight laps. ___
