Mugen is back with a bang! The renowned tuning and motorsport maestro has just given us a sneak peek into the future of the current-generation Civic Type R (FL5) with two jaw-dropping variants – the 'Gr.A' and 'Gr.B'. Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping ride as Mugen takes aerodynamics to a whole new level, promising an experience that'll leave you breathless.
Drenched in the vibrant Rallye Red, the Gr.A kicks things up several notches, showcasing an entirely new front bumper design. A wider front lip paired with larger vents on either side, accompanied by more substantial side skirts. As if that weren't enough, a rear spoiler that's wider and longer than its predecessor sits proudly at the back, ready to dominate the road – a visual spectacle reminiscent of Joffrey Baratheon's reign on the Iron Throne. Brace yourself for a ride as thrilling as the chaos Joffrey brought to the Seven Kingdoms.

Enter the Gr.B, where bigger is better. Feast your eyes on an even more massive front splitter, heightened side skirts, and a bonnet and front arch vents that redefine dramatic. The front grille, once exposed mesh, now boasts an aggressive, race car-inspired closed design. Crafted from carbon fiber, these additions dominate the silver coat, creating a visual masterpiece that could easily be mistaken for a creation in a six-year-old's math notebook – if that notebook belonged to a design prodigy.
While the mechanical details remain shrouded in mystery, Mugen's track record suggests subtle yet potent improvements in power and handling. Imagine a marginal boost over the already impressive 315bhp, 310lb ft of torque, and a top speed of 171mph delivered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, complemented by the mystical prowess of 'VTEC.'
As for pricing, it's a closely guarded secret, but whispers suggest a nudge towards the £55k threshold from the standard £47k starting price. Get ready to invest in an experience that transcends the ordinary and propels you into the realm of automotive excellence.
Founded in 1973 by the visionary Hirotoshi Honda, Mugen Motorsport emerged to ignite Honda's motorsport legacy in competitions like the Japanese Super GT championship and even made waves in Formula One.
