An enhanced, limited edition Civic Type R featuring exclusive Mugen equipment will go on sale through Honda dealers in the UK in April. Inspired by Mugen Euro’s high-performance Type R, the Mugen 200 is fitted with unique body parts, wheels and badges to give it stand-out looks. As its name suggests, only 200 of the special Type R models will be made.

 

On top of the standard features of the Swindon-built Type R which of course, include Honda’s 201PS, screaming i-VTEC engine, the MUGEN 200 will boast the following items like exclusive Mugen front and rear bumpers with skirts, 19-inch alloy wheels in ‘Lightning’ design, Mugen rear badge, Mugen Limited Edition number plaque, Limited Slip Differential, Championship White exterior paint and gloss black door mirrors.

 

A range of tuning parts, to further enhance the chassis dynamics of the Type R, will also be available as dealer fit options. If you’re in UK, the order bank for the Mugen 200 opens in March, when prices will also be announced.

 

This limited edition Type R continues the association between Honda (UK) and Mugen Euro, the Northampton-based subsidiary of Honda’s long standing tuning partner Mugen. Last year, Mugen used its 36 years of experience and engineering expertise gained at the forefront of global motorsport, to further develop the Type R, and create the Civic Type R Mugen of which just 20 units will be made.

 

The limited edition car also celebrates the launch of Honda’s BTCC team for 2010, continuing its long-standing relationship with Team Dynamics. The team will compete with two Honda Civics which will feature a similar White and Black colour scheme to the Mugen 200 cars. More details will be announced before the first race of the season, which is at Thruxton on 4 April 2010.
