In Japanese the word Mugen means unlimited, it is also the name of Honda’s in house racing branch that brought us the ultimate Mugen Type RR. Doing what they do best, the factory backed tuners are taking their big winged Civic Type R a bit further to create the special edition Honda Civic Type R Mugen 200 in celebration of their 2010 (BTCC) British Touring Car Championship racing efforts and will compete with vehicles like the Ford Focus RS and the Renault Mégane R26R off the track. Destined exclusively for the British isles when it goes on sale this April, all 200 examples of the limited edition Civic Type R are covered in a Championship White finish accented with gloss black mirror covers and features exclusive Mugen equipment like bespoke front and rear bumpers with lower hanging side skirts, 19 inch alloy wheels, Mugen badges and Limited Edition number plaque and the all important (LSD) Limited Slip Differential. Press release after the jump. Press release 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.
A range of tuning parts, to further enhance the chassis dynamics of the Type R, will also be available as dealer fit options. Original MUGEN tuning parts availableFrom April, a network of Honda dealers will also offer an exclusive range of original MUGEN tuning parts for Type R owners to use to modify their own cars – both used and new. These parts will be available to buy from a number of selected dealers across the UK, and will offer a range of tuning and cosmetic parts, including sports suspension upgrades, lightweight wheels and interior trim. A list of the MUGEN partner dealerships will soon be available at www.honda.co.uk BTCC team launchedThe 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 in two 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. 11 comments: Honda Civic Type R Mugen 200 I’m somewhat disappointed. The 93 civic eg6 si-r made 170hp stock. Add an exhaust; headers, intake and some injectors and you got 200hp. For 3000$ + 2000$ of mods you can have the same power as the new civic with 800 pounds less weight. What the hell are these guys smoking? I’ll keep my money thanks.  what a waste! i think Honda should focus on how to improve their interior and exterior designs and most of all the engines capability!Because the competitor is much better!
 The latest Honda Civic comes highly recommended thanks to its clever interior, sharp design and wide range of models. It is also the most radically designed Civic to date, inside and out.
 This is the coolest model of civic, the spoiler and the semi-Hatchback style of this car really make it cool.
 Honda of Europe should be slapped for even badging this car as a Type R as it’s certainly not worthy of the badge. The rear suspension is a beam axle and the engine is the same as the USDM Civic Si. How’s this a Type R?
 Yeah Mugen “unlimited” that’s fair enough to be your name. The unlimited production of Honda. The world class design and automobile structure. The Japanese did it again!
 Sweet front end, the one thing that I don’t like about the new Honda Civic is the rear. I don’t think that it would have a lot of good luggage space as the past Civics have. Anyways, this is again a great tuning from Mugen. Those are the two brands that really works together great. Mugen and Honda.
 IMO if this will compete with Focus RS, no doubt RS will have a hard time beating this baby, but for me still I’ll place my bet on the RS, it was tried and tested to beat its competitors, rs wont settle with this Civic.

Dude, you are actually bragging about a car that makes 142lb-ft? My god, I think I better go find another website to post on. Go have fun with that 142lb-ft. Say hi to your other "rice" friends who hang out at the Wal-Mart parking lot for me.
I would like to have this car based on its look alone and then because of its exclusivity.
