The World of High-Performance Cars: Muga's Latest Creation
In the realm of high-performance cars, few names are as well-known as Mercedes-Benz AMG, BMW M, and Fiat. However, there is another player in the game that is often overlooked, but not for much longer. Honda's Motor Racing Engine tuner, Mugan, has been making waves with its latest creation - a super hatch called the Type R Mugan.
The Type R Mugan is a hand-built car that will be constructed in the UK, and all owners will have the opportunity to experience some involvement in the building process of their vehicle. The car's design is a far cry from the standard Civic Type R, with an unnatural height, shaved weight, and mean front end. The Mugan badge is proudly displayed on the car's bodywork, giving it a distinctly unique look.
The interior of the Type R Mugan is equally impressive, with big winged Type R embossed seats and the usual array of equipment that comes with a Honda Civic. However, owners can also opt for additional features such as Ricaro seats, harnesses, and data recording equipment for an extra $1,000. The engine management system has been tweaked to suit each customer's driving style, resulting in a 20% increase in power over the standard Type R.
The engine itself is a beast, producing 237 horsepower and weighing 20% less than the standard Civic Type R. This reduction in weight allows for an impressive acceleration time of 6 seconds, which is half a second quicker than the road-going car. The exhaust system has been designed to be loud and proud, with two big tailpipes that produce a noticeable roar as the engine revs up.
Underneath the hood, Mugan's engineers have fitted in new pistons, camshafts, and an advanced engine management system. This combination of components results in a car that can handle even the most twisty tracks with ease. The suspension has been custom-designed to provide more grip, thanks to the limited-slip differential at the front.
However, it's worth noting that the Type R Mugan is not without its flaws. The steering is slightly over-sensitive, making it difficult to navigate tight corners with precision. But for those who are willing to push their car to the limit, a long fast sweeping circuit will be just what they need to get the most out of this incredible machine.
In terms of value, the Type R Mugan is a pricey proposition. With a base price of £38,499, it's certainly not cheap. However, for those who are willing to splurge on a truly unique driving experience, it may be worth every penny. And with only 20 units being produced, this car is sure to become a rare and highly sought-after collector's item.
Muga's Type R Mugan has already gained a reputation as one of the most exciting new cars in town, thanks to its incredible performance capabilities and unique design. Whether you're a seasoned car enthusiast or just looking for a thrilling driving experience, this car is sure to deliver.

Honda is special it's still very much the Civilized Civic with big winged typ R embossed seats and the usual array of equipment for £5,000 though you could have the track day kit option where you get ricaro seats and harnesses and for another ,000 you can get three extra gauges and data recording equipment it's the first time a mugan tuned engine has been on offer in a Honda Road car and here it's 20% more powerful than the typar with 237 VP and that's thanks to new Pistons cam shafts and a new engine management system which can be adjusted to suit each customer's driving style let's been a slight reduction in the overall weight of this car and that helps it's not to 60 time of 6 seconds which is half a second quicker than the road goinging car those two big exhaust tail pipes are noisy enough to remind you that you've got something a little bit special underneath you and the volume increases as the VTEC kicks in at 5,800 RPM and it doesn't stop until 8 and a half thousand when you have to change gear the six-speed gearbox is Honda's quick shifter and it is the next best thing to the short sharp throws of the wonderful s2000s gearbox the ride is definitely firmer than the standard cars and you get bounced about quite a lot also the front spoiler which is wonderfully low and fabulous for aerodynamics does scrape over uneven surfaces oh not only has mugan made this car quick in a straight line but it claims to make it go round bz faster too this Honda now has custom designed suspension parts and a limited slit differential all of which means it's got more grip because the torque and power get sent to the wheel that's best connected to the tarmac throughout the corner now the chassis is fantastically agile you can flick it left right on a twisty track with each but the steering is a little bit too over sensitive so a long fast sweeping circuit will suit this car better and give you better access to those High revs and high speeds the data box looks the part but it only records information from oil and water gauges I was expecting a lap timer and acceleration readouts for the extra ,000 apart from having a few squeaks from the dashboard which is uh part of the course for this pre-production model this car definitely def itely feels more like a racing car than the standard Type R the suspension is just so firm and it skips about a bit squealing at the tires typical front-wheel drive stuff but that limited slip diff at the front eliminates a reasonable amount of under steer you still do get that though but there's a lot more grip at the front end than in the road car and so there are a couple of key points left first is the price £ 38,5 199 yes you do get that mugan engineering but for that sort of money you could have a Sublime handling Road and track car like a bmw3 series or a Porsche Cayman and secondly only 20 will ever be made now it took just 6 minutes for all 300 Civic Saloon mugan to be sold in Japan so there are some serious
