Honda Civic Type R Mugen: The Maddest Hatchback To Date

Oct 6 2009
A test drive in the Honda Civic Type R Mugen is bound to make your heart pound and a couple of hairs turn grey from sheer fright. The Honda Civic Type R Mugen makes the hottest hatchback, the Ford Focus RS, seem sedate and a laid back car. The 2.0L litre engine, with a turbocharger, produces an unbelievable 240bhp. If that’s not enough, the bonnet, plastic wings and bumper reduce the weight by an additional 105kgs. Track specification suspensions make the car hug the road and the brakes are responsive enough to bring the car to a fast halt. To top it, this hot hatchback is a two seater.

The Honda Civic Type R Mugen is going to cost a princely thirty thousand pounds. That is a hefty price to pay for what is, after all, a hatchback. Honda says that it will be a limited production run and only twenty five or thirty cars will be produced. Honda must have already targeted the twenty five, thirty people who will be willing to buy this car. The customers must have lined up car finance to buy the Honda Civic Type R Mugen. Honda must have helped arrange car finance for the few customers who will want to own this hot hatch.
