Japan Gets Honda Civic Mugen Rr

[Memphis]

"It was rumored yesterday, and it's real today. Come September 13, Japanese enthusiasts will be able to order up the hottest Civic Type R yet. The already-impressive R gets the full once-over from Mugen, and the result is the Honda Civic Mugen RR. Designed to be perhaps the ultimate front-engined/front-wheel-drive performance car, the Mugen RR sheds an additional 10kg (22 lbs) off the standard Civic Type R's weight, coming in at 2733 lbs. In addition to the weight loss, the freer-breathing Mugen RR picks up 15 horsepower over the regular Type R. It's rated at 240 horses at 8,000 rpm and 160 lb-ft at 7,000 rpm."

sucks being in Dubai, the last serious platform we got here was in 2000 - the 4 door b16a'd SiR. this is why i end up running swaps.

Japanese and other RHD markets are luckyyyyy !!!

I'm assuming this blue one is something else since the RR is riced with twin exhausts.

well, the badge by the gear level says Mugen Si. That's not the standard Si sedan sold in the US market, is it? Didn't know there was an additional Mugen Si...this something in Canada?
