We Drive The Honda Civic Type R Mugen - What Car?

[nueveforever]

REMINDER: Doesn't matter how fast your super car is, we all follow the same rules and regulations in the street.

[abchk1994]

NICE CAR BUT TOO EXPENSIVE

[Eternalnite69]

but why??? o.O

[jollyrodger121]

shit hot, one of the best hot hatches money can buy1

[MrFN2]

IMO I say that Mugen is well over priced. Rear wing spoiler 1500 euro ? Their body parts are way too expensive. Sure they've tuned up the suspension a long with some other tweaking but 238bhp? Sorry but I was expecting a bit more than that. I'll stick to my stock with Hondata FlashPro.

[Lodders88]

focus rs 500 please fuck this shit honda !!

[jollyrodger121]

@Lodders88 focus ha ha, honda all the way i know which will last longer!

[pyro12311]

@Lodders88 real car enthusiasts will like both cars so shut up

[SeadGBosnia]

In the US you can get a Civic SI Mugen for like 30k!:)

[pyro12311]

@SeadGBosnia civic si is the shit crap american version of the type r and theyre slower...

[spoonracing2011]

That old cunt looks like he's popped viagra and needs a shit all at the same time.

[94wasmyish]

I would pay the $ for the privilege of having one of these babies in my driveway.....Yea you have more powerful options available like the STI or EVO etc..... but they don't have Bulletproof K20A engines or a chassis engineered by HONDA and Tuned BY MUGEN!!!! When it comes to Motorsports true Enthusiasts know only a few companies Have the pedigree of HONDA worldwide... FERRARI,MClAREN,and BMW are the only manufacturers that have had more success than the big "H"....

[crenge]

Would you say its better than a WRx Sti?

[FatTonyKong]

It may look expensive, but if you got a type and you want to suit up with the same spec, it will cost u 55k +

[FatTonyKong]

It may look expensive, but if you got a type r want want to suit up with the same spec, it will cost u 55k +

[Jexcee]

somebody wanna tell me why THIS wasn't the newest honda civic instead of that, that.... THING they call the 2012 civic. dont matter which trim level bring this fucker over here NOW!!!

[MASTERNCS]

No arguing for those who know that Mugen does a fantastic Job much like M line does for BMW and AMG for MB but, please what direction is or has Honda made in the last 10yrs in their product marketing. Really sad to see this happening:( paying 38K British chips for a limited 1of20 is probable their only life saving point with this project. As far as bragging rights for having the fastest NA front wheel drive, good luck having that conversation.

[iceman5815]

The cost is expensive because of exclusiveness..and yes I would buy it if Honda would fucking bring it to the US.

[AndyRoddick969]

38K is a lot for a Honda, but i think that price tag is pointed towards the most LOYAL Honda customers. and frankly, theres bound to be 20 Honda Enthusiasts that would love one of these rare cars. and would pay 38K for one.

[fred8065]

Very nice compare to honda City.

[chinolal]

I love type Rs but this type R is a piece of shit

[7T9vette]

I don't hate Hondas but this thing is hideous I'm glad there only in the Uk that way I don't have to see them on the road

[fairygodbrother]

@7T9vette you don't see them out on the road here because most people aren't stupid enough to buy one.

If you want a civic type r go pre 2k and get yourself an EK9

[jorgequinterom]

its fugly

[Lahnas]

i prefer lancer evo

[ProSiNNeR]

@Lahnas Of course..

[ITsIMP0RT4NT]

@RydeHammer lmao ur retarded i dont even have to tell you to pay attention someone beat me to it.

[inictu0culi]

just in UK??? fuuuuck it!

[ribak1983]

238 hp? good but 39000$ way to much,no mugen for me.

[dee18f]

The soundtrack you get with this Mugen is immense!! It's just the pricetag... i'd rather have a S2000 and do some work to it :-)

[sangbubu]

idamannn kalbu kuuuu

[3jodiii]

not so keen on this shape of the civic, i like the ek9 type r's but prefer the ep3 type r's in graphite grey with grey alloys :)

[trendkill777]

@3jodiii the japanese CTR mugen looks better its based on the sedan..

[hurrhurrbtard]

40 thousand pounds...

I could have myself a Ferrari F355 for this money.

Not only does it have more power,

It's got a Ferrari badge.

Sure it costs more to run,

But it's well worth it.

[BboyREckO]

whats goin on damn it, i want this in the US!

[Redline2695]

VTEC

[Redline2695]

it still has the honda sound xD

[r4nd0m01793]

civic these days arent as nice as thay was and it has to be a type R to make me look twice........and i see civic's all the time as i live in swindon :) hondas heaven!!! and to be honest this mugen civic looks pritty good and all i have to say is.....if you have the chance......GRAB ONE! i would

[07SiPOWER]

you know.......the fast and the furious was sooo cool........i was a fan myself, but its time to grow up....38K translate that to dollars, i think would be, like $45K maybe? with that kind of money you can buy a used corvette Z06, a used Shelby GT500, a new fully loaded 2011 Mustang 5.0, a used 2008 BMW M3, a used 2001-2006 M3,....basicly a range of used super cars...instead a puny 237hp rice rocket with a huge wing on the rear........make sense guys??

[GrandMasterBison]

@07SiPOWER lmao for 45 i can get a modded 8 to 9 sec supra

[hurrhurrbtard]

@GrandMasterBison Used maybe. No chance you can build a proper and reliable 8 second car for 45 grand though. The world's top tuning companies struggle to get 8 seconds from Supras, let alone random people.

[GrandMasterBison]

@hurrhurrbtard true darin is trying to sell his for almost 100 g

[mrwhon]

@07SiPOWER Plus CIVIC ARE SO F#@KING UGLY THESE DAYZ!

WTF!

[jbzEK9]

@07SiPOWER

Thats the same thing as saying why buy the LFA or ENZO when the 10 times cheaper 2012 GTR would smoke them?

Its a little thing called exclusive...

And driving a slow car fast is much more rewarding than driving a fast car slow, if you know what I mean...

[holow]

@07SiPOWER you must be white cause you mention all GM, Ford, and Chevys hahahaha

[sarconista]

@07SiPOWER Well 237hp is still a lot but you should know speed isn't everything

[Yootube9164]

@07SiPOWER That depends on if you want a car that breaks down after 5 weeks of use..

[ThatIdiotJason]

@07SiPOWER But this can go round corners as fast as an r8, try doing that with a 5.0 mustang

[daddybluevein]

I am the proud owner of one of these bad boys :)

[r4nd0m01793]

@daddybluevein a mugen one?

[xrikimarux]

Honda Mugen Civic Type R!! that's like the Asian dictionary... they forgot to add JDM in the name..

[SinnerJ]

Well feck... I might as well save up more for a Lan Evo GSR... unless they make some better improvements for that cost... >.>

[Boss187ooo]

id rather have a honda ingegra type R

[eurotech93]

i think this carr iss pretty uglyyy

[mc36155]

how about get her to shut the f up so we can hear the friggin car.

[NCSprink]

Do you know this car will go up in value. there is only 20 made which if you did have the money you still counld buy one. all one off parts are made to f1 spec that will last forever. most of you have never looked at a mugen catalog their parts are not cheap.

[mrwhon]

@NCSprink WHO CARES!  IT'S FREAKIN UGLY.

[rawwu]

Its not only the power(like 500hp) its the suspension, steering all. I think this mugen will beat almost any car at TRACK if you compare to cars about same value.

[NCSprink]

you really have to drive a mugen tuned car to understand. their tuned cars give so much confidence to the driver they handle like no other and ride quality is great as well. we added up the parts that came on the US spec mugen SI and it was close to $15,000 in parts that your getting for less than $10,000

[Ge0vone]

No daytime running lights?

[TheJaraz]

coupe more better, this kind of design looks shit. Fuck-gly. Frog=mugen

[valereydyachuk]

For 38K British sterling one can buy a New STI, tune it up to 500 hp. Mugen has probably started smoking crack to charge 38K for this car.

[DandizzleUK]

@valereydyachuk I nearly shit myself laughing at this, i was eating aswell, which didn't bode well for my new white hoody.. = /

[dilirent]

@valereydyachuk did u not hear the part where it says ONLY 20 will be made.

[pprisonbreakk]

@valereydyachuk When you buy a Mugen, you buy something exclusive. No more 30 units produced, and a high quality preparation. You can easily do 200 000km without any problems. Now take a "gypsy prepared " Subaru, break your turbo/engine after 30 000km, and if you want to sell it, you'll loose 50% of its value. Good deal man !

[TRiPZEASTLOS323]

@valereydyachuk maybe because they are only building TWENTY of em

[Ximon1986]

@valereydyachuk

Problems with your ears? Just 20 exclusive Championship White cars are being HAND-BUILT in the UK to customer specifications. 20 and not more! How many STI are built?? And how many of them hand-made from factory? You can't compare the price here. So all the owners of this car (which was sold out very fast) smoke crack too? And the owners of the Civic Mugen RR? This car was sold out in 30 Minutes!!

[luke26126]

38? i want it boosted for that much

[fasthonda]

surely she meant 28k, not 38 come on

[djkiller]

she sed 38

[7bigkev7]

hahhahahahaha 40k! get real

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

Lovely induction roar.

I wonder if many will be available on the used market soon. I suspect they will not loose much, if any of thier value.

[AllBoutTheTech]

Honda built the CR-Z, then Toyota decided to build a 3.3 V6.

...Against a Hybrid.

Honda can build 200bhp cars and everyone has to build a car with higher horsepower otherwise their cars will fail.

Honda rules.

[Ge0vone]

Stop drinking the kool-aid, I love Honda as much as the next guy but seriously, they NEED to step it up in terms of performance

[NCSprink]

Mugen is the best honda parts money can buy just a header is close to $3000 dollars. my friend has the US mugen civic and it cost $30,000 with only 200hp Uk should feel very lucky they get a tuned engine also. But mugen cars are worht every penny that car will accually got up in value

[Ge0vone]

Well except the USDM Mugen Si since it didn't increase horsepower, just looks.

Don't get me wrong, I like the lip kit that comes on it, but charging $30K for it....?!

:facepalm:

[41andrei]

that is crap,honda wants to much money,its just a civic-the focus rs whit 300bhp cost 10k+less

[Ratava252]

No shit Honda wants too much money.. who the fuck wouldn't?

I swear the logic level of some people is so minimal..

[GrandMasterBison]

@Ratava252 lmao so i should pay 45 k for a shopping cart with nos....fucking idiot go to a corner or something

[Ratava252]

@GrandMasterBison Your comment is completely irrelevant to mine. So yes, you should.

[coachkyle89]

@Ratava252 I agree. Some people let the lust for the car get in the way of their logical thinking. They want one so bad they don't understand what the car is worth.

[DarksideGarage]

I think that almost all countries in europe are LHD

[Ge0vone]

I've seen some Euro Type-R's, the FN2 and their driver seat is on the left hand side not the right hand.

Is there different parts in Europe that uses left hand drive....?

[beevers48]

Thats a looooooot of money for even a souped up type r.

[fentonjd]

@beevers48

You have to pay for exclusivity. If I was pretty damn well off I'd buy one.

If I could just about afford £40k for a car, I wouldnt buy it.

[oilhammer04]

Why don't they ship these kinds of cars here?

[fentonjd]

@oilhammer04

Because amercians are constantly slagging Honda for being "econo" cars, just because they dont have V8's sitting under the bonnet

[oilhammer04]

I think there are a lot of Americans who would buy this Civic if it were imported, but I think we don't get a lot of these cars because our environmental standards are too strict. We don't get many diesel cars either. VW and Mercedes are the only ones I can think of. That may be because the manufacturers can't depend on our standards not changing when we have a change in politicians.

[41andrei]

@oilhammer04 ,just shut up,we dont have skylines,supras,nsx and silvias and ect...all these great japanese cars that you have in the states,and you are crying over a stupid civic

[oilhammer04]

Sniff, sniff. :)

[turbo311]

The Mugen Civic Si in the US was nothing compared to this. I'm jealous.

[Ge0vone]

@turbo311 Same here buddy

[Sooknar]

only 1 min video ? 2*
