Honda revealed that he will no longer sell his formidable Civic Type-R in Europe at the end of this year, bringing a 30-year legacy closer and causes many fans of the hot hatch, multiple, spill a tear or two.
In fact, Honda really offers nothing on the path of a sports car at this time, but that has not prevented him from investing effective in the development of an interactive map of ‘dream units’.
Commissioned by “Automobile experts, driving enthusiasts, as well as civic R type owners”, the custom website presents the best driving roads in Europe, which covers everything, from short explosions in Denmark, to more serpenting mountain passes in Switzerland.
The elegant digital interface presents some quite obvious candidates, such as the Passe dello Stelvio in Italy, but also presents less known road trips that are going through Estonia and Lithuania.

Some of the other prominent aspects include the Blue Road (which carries it through Sweden and Finland through Fjords and Lagos), the Colini Col in France (which stars in the Rally of Monte Carlo) and the shape of the 1500 km wild Atlantic that carries it through the west coast of Ireland.
All outstanding routes have a ‘Drive Now’ button that clicks on a full route planner on Google Maps, which includes any traffic notification or road works limitations.
Honda says that this collection of roads specially in charge and unprecedented is the “perfect way to sign the Civic Type R in Europe” and that allows owners to leave and really enjoy their cars.
In addition, you can access the micrositio dedicated both on mobile and desktop devices, allowing you to search for a specific road or find inspiration by country, type of route, transmission distance or duration.
Driving: enjoy it while you can
If you have a Honda Civic Type-R, or any model R Honda’s Back Catalog, fortunate. The current alignment of the Japanese brand consists of relatively little inspiring SUVs and jazz, which shows no sign of expiring.
Personally, I am not sure that addressing the North Coast 500 of Scotland in a hybrid ZR would hit the same as experiencing it in a NSX, but a fair game for the brand to admit that some customers still enjoy the emotion of driving, and recognize their type of type of type-R type.
Hopefully this means that Honda has some exciting cars in the pipe, because what the Civic Type-R replaces has some large boots to fill.
