£40,000?

You can buy a Vauxhall VXR8 or a BMW 1 series M Coupë, Audi RS3, Aston Martin Cygnet Launch Edition, and a Corvette C6

On Hot Hatches, I think you would have to be a Total fool to spend 40k on this, i really dont see where the Justification comes from, 20 times built or not..

For admin, Bedford Mugen fastest lap time is 1:28.6 and not 1:28.0 ->

"How much faster is the Mugen? It knocks 3.2sec off the Championship White’s time and in the process undercuts the R26.R by an impressive 0.4sec too."

This Mugen is 100% a production car..... it is built from the ground up in a Honda facility and leaves the factory with a Mugen Honda badge..... there is no aftermarket tuning involved.

This a tuner car not a production car it should not be allowed.


User avatar

Wads  16y ago

The high price is partly down to the level of customer input..... each car is designed to the buyers wishes.... I think this only applies to the trim and paint but may go into areas such as engine/wheel/brakes as well. Its still a stupid price for a beefed up civic.

that should be 1/3 less of the Mugen price.
BTW the price is £38,599 and as the R26.R hit the market it was £23,300.

whopping 15,000 less... or the price for a fully loaded Abarth 500 + 2weeks holiday in Spain...

£38,000 is still overkill in my opinion. And last time i checked, £24,000 is no where near 1/3 the price. And just because its rare does Not mean its worht it, you need to get over that crap, Rare doesn not mean better or worth it.

@scleeve .... stop commenting PURE BULLSHIT...
This car was not tested by many magazines... they only build 20 of them and as far as I know they sell them only in the UK..and this car has a hard time beating the Megane R26.R which cost only 1/3 of the price and is avaible in larger numbers!!!!!!!

Tank? Its 3897lbs, thats actually quite light for a luxury car, and you would be stupid to take this over a C63.

It amazing how the C63 outweighs this car by 1100lbs but has double the power and this mini-car still beats it, go figure.

Isnt Muhen a damned Tuner?

scleeve  16y ago

This car has been tested in many magazines and on tracks, and has easily beaten the Focus RS MK2 and many more powerfull cars, the tyres and LSD help a lot but even so, its a quick little racer for something that only has 237bhp. BUT, only 40 will be made and at £38k its so overpriced it will only be purchased by collectors.

Georg are you as insane as looking at?? Just only 200 HP and so good performance hm? I've wrote 200 HP because all I know for real all civic's and S2000 has maximum 200-210 hp only manufacturer claim that engine deliver 240 BH (I'm absoluty convinced of this couse I had new s2000 and check on test bench, test shows only 209 BH, mechanic who work in Honda service confirmed me that its typical for this sort of engine) no matter is this Type R, S2000 or Mugen. More over why you thinking that this car which has FWD and ordinary gear box and so puny engine is able to achieve 100 km/h in 5,9 sek. or top speed 250 km/h do you have any conformation or autoritative source???
