Following up on our
previous story, Japanese car tuners Mugen are about to launch a new
Euro-spec Mugen Honda Civic Type R 3D to the European market. The
company are planning to introduce the new model sometime their summer.
The
Euro-spec Mugen Type R uses a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine
that produces 149kW (200hp). However, previous reports had the engine
generating as much as 179kW (240hp) for the front-wheel drive car. The
2.0-litre i-VTEC is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Mugen
has significantly altered the overall look and feel of this car, using
a carbon-fiber body kit to give a most certain aggressive look. The new
front bumper has a front lip spoiler and blacked-out grille which leads
back to widened fenders with integrated air-vents. Twin-scoops are
situated on either side of a raised mid-section on the new
hood.
Redesigned
sideskirts lead us to the custom built rear-bumper, diffuser, and dual
round-exhaust. Mugen have used a gunmetal gray multispoke alloy wheel
that matches the front grille and bonnet air-vents.
The
Euro-spec model receives a larger rear wing, and redesigned rear bumper
with noticeable changes to the tailpipes. The front-end also appears to
have some minor cosmetic changes.
If pricing of the
recently detailed UK-spec Type R is anything to go by, then this car
could cost anywhere from €40,000, up to a rather steep €50,000. We
should find out more about the Mugen Honda Civic Type-R 3D as there
isn't
much to go on at the moment but, we should have more details in the
near future.
