This limited edition Civic Type R featuring 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 badging. As its name suggests, only 200 of the special Type R models will be made, says Honda UK.
On top of the standard features of the Swindon-built Type R (which include Honda's 198hp, i-VTEC engine) the MUGEN 200 will boast 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, according to an announcement today.
The order bank for the MUGEN 200 opens in March, when prices will also be announced. Additionally, from April, a network of Honda dealers will offer an exclusive range of original MUGEN tuning parts for Type R owners to modify their own cars - both used and new. The range of tuning and cosmetic parts will include sports suspension upgrades, lightweight wheels and interior trim.
The new limited edition car also celebrates the launch of Honda's BTCC team for 2010, continuing the company's long-standing relationship with Team Dynamics. The team will compete in two Civics - which will feature a similar White and Black colour scheme to the MUGEN 200 cars.
