And then we remembered: the JAS Motorsport developed, FIA Group N and Group A homologated Civic Type R (our pics). A closer look at Autoexpress' images reveals interesting details like the roof air-intake and the bonnet clips. So unless the Brit mag got the “scoop” of the year or they got their hands on a still unreleased, UK Honda developed special version, I’d say they just drove JAS Motorsport’s race edition and just “forgot” to mention it...
