Wow... is it really here? Wonder how much the onwer has to folk out for this "beast". For those that are interested, the selling price in Japan is a whopping 4,777,500Yen (~S$63K going by todays exchange rate). And for better comparison, the JDM Civic Type R cost 2,835,000Yen, whereas Mitsubishi EVO X asking from 2,997,750 to 4,244,100Yen!

 

And as usual, I like photos...

And what so special with this Mugen RR?

 

The Mugen Honda Honda CIVIC MUGEN RR was unveiled last summer (July '07) and can be considered the "street legal" version of the Super Taikyu Championship Civics that have been dominating the ST4 Class in the field. Like the Impreza Type RA-R you won't see the Civic RR stopped at traffic lights very often. This car is restricted to a very limited 300 units.

 

Max. Horsepower: 240ps (15ps more than the JDM Civic Type R, 85ps more than 2.0L Civic)

Max Torque: 218Nm (3Nm more than JDM Type-R, 30Nm more than 2.0L Civic)

Weight: 1255Kg (15kg lighter than JDM Type-R, 45Kg lighter compared to 2.0L Civic)

Width: 1,790mm (20mm wider than JDM Type R)

Height: 15mm lower than JDM Type R

 

 

If you're not a Honda freak, you may have a hard time distinguishing the R from the RR as both cars look very similar from the exterior. The Mugen version has a wider body kit and a couple visible mods, such as hood air ducts, a carbon front grille sporting the Mugen logo, new front spoiler, 18" Black wheels, and specially designed Potenza RE070 (225/40R18 88Y) tires.

 

With its dual exhaust system, the rear end also lets you know there's something going on with this new Honda. Additional brake lights and a new carbon fiber rear spoiler are as much for good looks as for downforce.

Minor but enjoyable changes inside as well. The radio was removed and replaced by oil temperature, water temperature, and pressure gages. The standard bucket seats were traded in for wonderful carbon ones that require you to be in good physical shape to sit comfortably in them, we're talking racing here. The pedals were also modified (aluminum), and a plaque etched with your issued car number is mounted on the shift knob column.

Quoted from an online motoring magazine, whom is lucky to have their hands on the car just last month.

 

As any Honda fan can tell you, the Type-R is among the best names in the industry when it comes to fast, stylish, and fun to drive front wheel drive cars (considering 90% of Hondas are FWD). We've seen a lot of Type-R Civics and none have failed to deliver that "extra something" which makes them so special.

 

The ingredients are well known; increased HP from the VTEC high revs motor (normally aspirated of course), sharpened chassis, AND weight reduction. That's basically what every race car enthusiast would do to his own car before taking it to the track, and we were very fortunate in getting our hands on this amazing Civic. Not because only 300 units will be produced, but because it was Mugen tuned. This Honda affiliated Japanese company brings an enormous amount of racing knowledge into what's probably the best factory tuned Honda Civic that money can buy.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the Mugen Civic Type RR!

 

When you look at the figures on paper, the Civic Type RR isn't very impressive. An Additional 15PS, equivalent torque, and a tad lighter weight, it all sounds like something you could easily do to a stock Civic Type-R yourself... If you thought that you're wrong. Very wrong.

 

Making a car faster equals more power in the minds of 99% of the people, but remember this car is FWD. The front wheels both steer AND support the power of the engine, this is why most of the changes don't appear on the specs sheet. The aerodynamics, and most of all the chassis, were dramatically tuned resulting in a much more grippy and responsive feel behind the wheel.

 

This is a very wise, professional, "down to earth" tuning that Mugen accomplished for the Civic, the improvements made to the chassis could probably welcome even more power.

 

As the RR is a "track-friendly" machine aimed at racing enthusiasts, Traction Control, among other security equipment, is nowhere to be found. That's a good thing, especially on the circuit. The greatest change felt behind the wheel doesn't come through acceleration, but steering response. This car translates every move of your hands into a precise direction with cornering, handling, and balance that are impeccable and provide you with more confidence at each and every turn.

 

Remember this is a road legal machine, and not all roads are as clean and flat as Suzuka's main straightaway. The suspension gives you a rough ride when the tarmac is not perfectly even, driving this car at Sebring would be one heck of an experience for your poor back! Hopefully suspension can be tuned easily "on the fly."

 

As for fantastic sensations, the sound of the VTEC through the exhaust was music to our ears. No wonder they got rid of the radio, you wouldn't turn it on anyway! The engine has, of course, kept its high revvin' personality. Unfortunately, at 160km per hour the speed limiter puts a violent end to your enthusiasm. HOPEFULLY, it can be deactivated for driving ON RACE TRACKS.

 

Last but not least, a HD video clip showing the Mugen RR being put on test!!

You are so 'Kind & Considerate'

CIVIC DOMINATOR?

Sibei chio...can only admire...

[Carbon82]

Err... just a couple more photos of this babe.

 

[Coolad]

Its amazing that our local shore managed to get hold of 1 unit. Even Jap dealers have to wrestle their way in to get it. All 300 units gone in 10mins is no joke. Nothing comes close with regards to a factory built Race prep car.

 

Congrats to the lucky owner...

[Contax]

I bet there will be enthuasist that will splurge on mugen parts to upgrade their current civic to not only look alike , but perform as well .

[Super410]

Congrats to the lucky Singapore owner. I wonder what is his/her car plate number.
