Exotic Honda Civic Mugen RR in Japan
Japanese consumers now have access to the hottest Honda Civic Type R yet. The standard R sedan gets modified by Honda-owned Mugen, resulting in the Honda Civic Mugen RR. The Mugen RR sheds an additional 10 kg off the standard Civic Type R’s weight, coming in at 1242 kg. In addition to the weight loss, the free-breathing Mugen RR picks up 15 horsepower over the regular Type R.
It is rated at 240 hp at 8000 rpm and 217 Nm at 7000 rpm. Seeing the low torque figure at that high rpm, the car is obviously useless in city driving.
Complementing the added power and and decreased weight are a new bodykit, upgraded brakes all around, a retuned suspension, new wheels and tyres, 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, or US$ 38,750.
