While the basic silhouette is unchanged—with its low-sitting posture, massive hood scoop, and bodywork that's all business—the visual updates make the car look even more intent, track-focused. Smoked-out LED headlights give way to a black mesh grille and the obligatory triple exhaust system to further underscore the Civic Type R's motorsports-inspired heritage.
The Honda Civic Type R Ultimate Edition comes solely in the iconic Championship White paint scheme
Honda Civic Type R Ultimate Edition: Features
Step inside, and the Ultimate Edition embraces the same race-bred ethos. Honda has introduced a fresh carbonfibre finish across the door sills and center console, paired with red floor mats and a Type R logo projector that lights up the ground upon entry. Subtle but thoughtful upgrades include ambient lighting around the cabin, extending to the cupholders, footwells, door panels, and under-seat areas, enhancing the premium sporty feel.
Owners will also receive a special presentation box that includes a numbered plaque denoting the car's unique position out of the 40 units, a carbonfibre key ring, and a custom car cover—a collectible package to match the exclusivity of the vehicle.

The rest of the interior remains unchanged. Expect red suede-effect sports seats, a Type R-specific steering wheel, and a silver gear lever with red accents. Tech and convenience features include a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and an 8-speaker sound system.
Powering the Ultimate Edition is the same 2.0-litre VTEC turbocharged petrol engine, which outputs 329hp and 420Nm of torque
Honda Civic Type R Ultimate Edition: Specifications
Under the bonnet, Honda has not meddled with the mechanicals. Powering the Ultimate Edition is the same 2.0-litre VTEC turbocharged petrol engine, which outputs 329hp and 420Nm of torque, channelled to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox.
This powertrain takes a 0-100kph run in a mere 5.4 seconds, and a maximum speed of 275kph. Significantly, the configuration achieved the FL5 Civic Type R's reputation as the quickest front-wheel-drive production vehicle to lap Germany's iconic Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit, with a time of 7 minutes and 44.881 seconds.

LA 2028 Olympics to break from tradition and sell naming rights for venues at Los Angeles Games
The Los Angeles Olympics in three years time will break new ground after it was revealed that it will break with a century-long tradition and sell naming rights for Olympic venues for LA 2028. This will be a new revenue stream for host nations, which end up spending billions to host the Olympic Games. The Olympics have usually operated under a 'clean venue' tradition. But in recent years, the International Olympic Committee has signalled a shift from a clean venue policy to a clean field of play policy. This is not the first break from tradition that the LA 2028 Olympics will have: the 2028 edition is also moving athletics to the opening week of the Games (rather than at the back) while swimming is pushed to the end of the schedule. After LA 2028, Brisbane will be the host country for the 2032 Olympics while India is one of the interested nations for the 2036 Games. If India ends up beating nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and South Africa — all of which are rumoured to be eyeing the 2036 Games as well — it will be the first time the Asian country hosts an Olympics. The Associated Press reported that Honda already has naming rights for the arena in Anaheim that will host the volleyball competition while Comcast's name will be shown on the temporary venue hosting squash events. The LA 2028 organising committee said on Thursday that it already has contracts in place with two conglomerates — Honda and Comcast — to put their names on stadiums at the LA 2028 Games. Stadium hosting rights are currently mega money spinners for franchises in the USA and football clubs in Europe. The SoFi Stadium, where the Los Angeles Chargers play, reportedly cost SoFi $625 million over 20 years. The Arena, where basketball teams like Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles Kings, reportedly cost $700 million for a 20-year deal. Both the Arena and the SoFi Stadium will be hosting events during the LA 2028 Olympics. LA28 chairman and CEO Casey Wasserman explained the rationale behind the move in an interview with AP. 'We're a private enterprise responsible for delivering these games. It's my job to push. That doesn't mean we're going to win every time we push, but it's our job to always push because our context is pretty unique,' Wasserman said. He added that rights for up to 19 temporary venues at LA 2028 could be up for grabs. The IOC's biggest sponsors — called TOP sponsors — will have first chance to get in on the deals. Wasserman said no venues will be renamed — so, for instance, if organizers don't reach a deal with SoFi (opening and closing ceremonies, swimming) or Intuit (basketball), no other sponsor can put its name on the arena.
