At the first glance of a Mugen Civic Si it's easy
to see the racing heritage on this street machine.
The looks low and fast just sitting still thanks
to testing at the Motegi Twin Ring racetrack in Japan. The
suspension was developed on the racetrack and lowers the Mugen Civic
Si's ride height by a full 15mm (about 0.6 inches).
A ground effects and aero package enhances the
vehicles aerodynamic performance in the wind tunnel -- and on the
street. An aggressive front spoiler keeps the nose pinned to the
asphalt, while side spoilers increase stability at high speeds. An
adjustable rear spoiler allows you to make a quick transition from
highway cruising to on-track performance during your next track day.
Forged aluminum Mugen wheels coupled with
215/40R18 tires connect you with the road providing ultimate grip.
Fire up the engine and the Cat-back exhaust
responds with a throaty roar that lets you know this Civic means
business.
Step on the gas and you'll quickly see that the
Mugen Civic is no sheep in wolf's clothing -- it has the performance
to back up it's racing good looks.
The 1998 cc, 4cylinder engine cranks out 197
horsepower at 7,800 RPM, and 139 lb./ft of torque.
You can get a 2008 Mugen Civic Si in any color you
want -- as long as it's Fiji Blue Pearl. That's the only color the
Mugen is being produced in.
Production will be extremely limited at 1000 units
-- that's about 1 Mugen Civic for each Honda dealership in the USA
-- for the entire year. That means that a Mugen Civic will likely be
a good investment for years to come.
While we found some Honda dealers who were jacking
the price up as much as $3,000 over sticker – many more were willing
to sell the Mugen Civic Si at MSRP or below. For the best price get
