Putting an Audi R8 5.2 FSI with 518hp against the 239hp FN2 Mugen Honda Civic Type R into review over a typical European country road, Autocar UK did the review right and sensible. Putting both cars into Malaysia road to test, I can’t imagine for now.

Do you think the Hatch FN2 Civic Type R Mugen able to keep up with the mid-engine V10 monster through the twists and down the straights? Do find out yourself with no surprise although I am one of the proud owners of Civic Type R. Check out the video, is cool!

As Honda Freed just recently launch in Malaysia. Mugen as a tuner  for nearly all Honda cars has actually tuned the Honda Freed with some visual-cosmetic upgrade and some of the performance accessories.

By equipping the full bodykit to the Honda Freed, with some Mugen badge all around – certainly the Honda Freed looks more sporty than standard.

The Mugen Freed is can be equipped with dual exhaust as an optional setup for the rear skirt. Something i didn’t expect from Mugen is that the one of the tailpipe  is actually a cosmetic one which is not connected to the exhaust system rather something just to look more sporty.

The Mugen Freed spoiler and sideskirt. Much like the Mugen Jazz.

The front grille which is similar from the one in Mugen Honda Odyssey and front skirt with air vents.

The new Mugen Stream does looks more aggresive to me. However if you compare it with the previous Mugen Stream, i think the previous Mugen Stream looks more differences compare to the old stock Stream.

Of course, Mugen cars does not only come with cosmetics. You may install an optional suspension, air filter, rims and etc. For more, scroll down this post to see it in our gallery.

From Honda, they decided to have a “even sportier version than RSZ” which is – Honda Stream RST.

 

 

The new Honda Stream RST comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, body-hugging seats, sportier interior trim and red stitching on the leather steering wheel and gear knob along with a sportier suspension setup.Since there’s no modification on the existing engine to increase some HP for the Honda Steam RST , the Japanese automaker decided to remove the third row of seats for weight saving reasons. All these to build up a more sportier Honda Stream RST.

Compare it to the current Honda Stream in Malaysia.

Honda’s Euro-market Civic Type R (FN2) hatchback has been called out for being a successor that hasn’t exactly succeeded. Seems a bit of the thrill is gone from the new car compared to the old one. Now, Mugen had pick-up this poor little FN2 Type R make it even better than it once was.

From our sources, we are unsure about the detailed changes in store. However, based on changes made for Mugen’s Japan-spec Civic Type RR 4-door sedan, these pictures, and the fact that this car might take on the Renault Megane R26R. However, you can expect a standard upgrades on suspension and Mugen 18-inch wheels, giant front splitter and rear wing, huge exhaust, and a powerplant putting out 237 bhp and 160 lb-ft.

From the picture shows, it looks like the bigger Brembo brakes might not appear, and the back seats will remain in place. Perhaps, it just a light tune up to the FN2 to the suspension and powertrain. Check out the Promotional Mugen Civic Type R FN2 below.
