The Honda Civic Type R MUGEN was one of the hottest hatchbacks on the planet. If the limited production run distressed you the last time, an even hotter car is on the cards this time around. The new car is bound to cause havoc in the world of hot hatchbacks
Once in a while when a luxury car announces that they are going to launch a hand crafted uber luxury car, the automobile world takes a notice. But how often do you hear about a hand-built performance hatchback? Never is the answer, until last year when Honda launched the limited edition Honda Civic Type R MUGEN. Just 20 cars were made. These race derived cars disguised as regular road cars went on sale in the UK for enthusiasts to make the most of.
After the car was ready the technicians at MUGEN Euro needed something to do, so they took the K20 2.0 liter engine and increased the cylinder bore and stroke which upped the engine size to 2.2 litres. The new engine is 30% more powerful than the K20 unit with a power output of 256 horsepower on tap. The car also gets a host of motorsport derived components such as bigger brakes, sports suspension and a bodykit which makes it stand out on the road. The new car is called Honda Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2 and it is the ultimate expression of the Honda Civic Type R philosophy.
The K20 was a high revving highly successful engine which has been around since the foundation of MUGEN in 2006 and has been the choice of many tuners and motorsport competitors. The engine was homologated as a Group N race series engine and is one of the finest naturally aspirated race engines around
