Honda Civic Mugen RR
It was rumored yesterday, and it's real today. Come September 13, Japanese enthusiasts will be able to order up the hottest Civic Type R yet. The already-impressive R gets the full once-over from Mugen, and
the result is the Honda Civic Mugen RR. Designed to be perhaps the
ultimate front-engined/front-wheel-drive performance car, the Mugen RR
sheds an additional 10kg (22 lbs) off the standard Civic Type R's
weight, coming in at 2733 lbs. In addition to the weight loss, the
freer-breathing Mugen RR picks up 15 horsepower over the regular Type
R. It's rated at 240 horses at 8,000 rpm and 160 lb-ft at 7,000 rpm.
Complementing
the added power and and decreased weight are a new bodykit, upgraded
brakes all around, a retuned suspension, new wheels and tires, and
logo-emblazoned Recaro sport buckets. Availability is limited to 300
cars, all in the Milan Red finish shown, and the pricing in Japan has
been set at ¥4,777,500 ($38,750 USD).
