Honda Mugen Civic Type-R Unveiled
The first prescribed pictures of the heavier Civic Type-R Mugen from Honda’s Mugen Motorsports performance tuning arm are unveiled.
This version boasts of a deeper and broader front end coddler, a new lattice, an aired bonnet with releases at the backside of the front wheels.
At the back 2 big tailpipes that accommodate underneath a more marked back end bumper has replaced the Civic’s triangular exhausts. For clear visibility a double-decker wing has also been installed.
There are no rear seats inside with the exception of only a couple of Recaro sports seats. A 2.0-litre VTEC engine is placed under the bonnet.
This engine pumps out 240bhp. The Mugen also has fresh wheels and brakes.
The price will be in excess of £35k for a Mugen Type-R but will be available only later this year. Merely a few dozen will be made available in the UK each year. Honda anticipates that its demand will exceed its supply.
