Mugen Honda Civic Type-R Revealed
With only 20-units being built, think of the $64,000, Europe-exclusive Mugen Honda Civic Type-R as the Mugen RR v. hot hatch. This factory-tuned version features "a horsepower boost to 237 from the stocker's 198 along with a welcome 10-percent torque improvement across the rev range." One more picture after the break.
New pistons, camshafts, intake manifold, and a stainless exhaust system are responsible for the added ponies while a completely revised suspension system with limited-slip differential take care of the handling mods.[via Autoblog]
