Honda cars is currently prepping a new performance version of the Honda Civic sedan that’s set for release in the Japan this September. Based on the already sporty Honda Civic Type R, the new Honda Civic Mugen RR was transformed after undergoing a power upgrade and weight reduction program in collaboration with the help of its Mugen racing division. Power is up 15 horsepower over the standard Civic Type R, producing 240 horsepower at 8,000rpm and 160lb-ft at 7,000 revs. The jump comes from modifications to the intake system and new cams as well as high-flow exhaust. Weight has been cut back with the replacement of some panels with carbon-fiber and aluminum, down 10kg once again over the standard Type R.
