That's right. First they get the Civic Type-R (see <a href="http://www.streetseen.vi/?p=11" target="_blank">here</a>).... then they get the Mugen Type-R (see <a href="http://www.streetseen.vi/?p=29" target="_blank">here</a>) because, well, Mugen wasn't satisfied with the "ordinary" Civic Type-R. But apparently Mugen wasn't even satisfied with their last efforts because here we are with the Mugen RR, and its even more agressively tuned than its predecessors.<!--more-->

First off, the car is down 22lbs from the "ordinary" Civic Type-R, weighing in at 2733lbs. To heighten the senses, the car is up on power- 15hp to be exact, bringing engine output to 240hp @ 8,000rpm and 160lbft @ 6,000rpm.

Of course, the modifications only begin there. Brakes, suspension, and bodywork is completely revised. The car is also sporting new wheels and tires as well as seats and interior trim. Only 300 will be produced and the pricing is fixed at 4,777,500JPY, which amounts to US$38,750.
