I dont believe this. When Mugen announced that the UKDM Mugen Civic Type-R is definitely going to happen. We were happy, as it ment Mugen parts available in the UK for the first time ever officially in largish numbers. Although personally we were sad that the JDM Mugen RR will never make it over. And now days after this announcement Mugen Japan go and show off this...
Weighing only 1095kg the full carbon fibre Civic RR Advanced Concept is best in its class on the famous Tsukuba Circuit. Clocking the fastest FF time ever of 1m 04s! Its incredible that a car like this exists, whilst its also a giant kick in the teeth that we will never get to drive one! Power is upped to 260bhp up from the 240 of the Mugen RR, and a s2000 style 9000rpm. Engine upped to a 2.2l. The great has become the best.
Also of note: The Cheek of Mugen to slap GB plates on a car never to come to the UK.... unless they are giving me a birthday present?
