The Civic Type R MUGEN 2.2 is the work of Northampton-based MUGEN Euro,
producing a unique version with even more power and torque. The cylinder
bore and stroke have been increased to create an overall capacity of
2,156cc, so the car has been christened the Honda Civic Type R Mugen
2.2.
The result of the change is a boost in engine output from 240 to
260PS, and additional torque is available throughout the rev range. Peak
torque is now 240Nm at 6,000rpm. Compared to a standard Honda Civic
Type R, both power and torque are up 30 per cent.
When coupled to the host of motorsport-derived components created
exclusively by Mugen – including sports suspension, uprated brakes and a
stunning performance bodykit – the Mugen 2.2 represents the ultimate
expression of the Honda Civic Type R philosophy.
It has been created as a fitting tribute to the highly successful
Honda K20 2.0-litre petrol engine, which has ceased production in Japan.
Homologated by Mugen as an FIA Group N race series engine, the K20 has
long been the powerplant of choice with tuners and motorsports
competitors who want the very best in naturally aspirated performance.
The Honda K20 engine has also powered the only two complete road cars
produced by Mugen; the Honda Civic Mugen RR four-door saloon sold in
Japan, plus the limited Honda
Civic Type R Mugen sold in the UK.
