Honda Civic Mugen RR

[imoloq]

I admit it: I'm not a big fan of Honda Civics or Integras but the latest offer from Mugen might make me change my mind.

Based on the Civic Type-R launched several months ago in Japan, the guys at Mugen gave it a extreme makeover, making it possibly the best FF performance car ever to come out of Japan.

The RR will be 10kg lighter and has an additional 15HP compared to the Type-R. Altogether, it will have 240 horses at 8000rpm and 160 lb-ft of torque at 7000rpm. All those impressive figures come late so better be rev-happy if you want to drive this car.

To complement the added power, all brakes are upgraded and the suspension is also retuned. The RR also boasts new rims and tyres to go with its sizzling Milan Red finish. Mugen adds the final touch on the RR with Recaro sport buckets.

To make the RR more appealing, Mugen is only churning out 300 of these beauties and it's priced at 38,750. USD.

But it's not all show and no go; the Civic Mugen RR laps Tsukuba in 1:06:68. Comparatively, a Mitsubishi Evo VII RS did it in 1:04.93 and the Evo VII GSR in 1:05.93. Not too far off the pace.

i've heard that Honda plans to continue the Integra line as well, due to sagging sales in the USDM after the RSX has been discontinued.

Sorry to rain on your parade fellas, but even the stock JDM Civic Type R has been reported to be too harsh, too bone breaking to be a daily ride. It is mostly a track animal. So, it is quite likely that this Mugen Type RR is going to be TWICE as bone breaking. It is a track car in all but name fellas. Unless of course, that's the kind of thing that floats your boat.

 

[evo4g63]

Single R = bone breaking Double R = twice or double bone breaking .... but will look forward to see it on our shore....

hmm anybody knows the spring rates for this monster? dc2r and ek9 are probably 4kg/mm-ish front and back. If this RR is truly track based, that means probably on the high 10K and above:omg_smile:
