Mugen Gives Honda Civic Type R Track Ready Aero Kit
Mugen's latest aerodynamic and performance enhancements for the Honda Civic Type R promise improved downforce and enhanced aesthetics.
Mugen's Aerodynamic Overhaul
Mugen's latest release brings a significant aerodynamic overhaul to the Honda Civic Type R, aimed at enhancing both performance and visual appeal. The centerpiece of these upgrades is the redesigned rear wing, featuring carbon fiber endplates and manual adjustability. Complementing this is a new front chin spoiler and rear side splitters, contributing to a claimed 25% increase in downforce.
Performance Enhancements
With elements engineered to go well beyond aesthetics, Mugen's kit offers performance enhancements, including 19-inch forged aluminum wheels developed with BBS. These lightweight wheels, along with new racing nuts and lock nuts, promise improved handling and agility, elevating the driving experience of the Civic Type R.
Interior Refinements
Mugen's upgrades extend to the interior, with options such as a carbon fiber center console and an Alcantara shift knob. Additionally, enthusiasts can opt for new Recaro bucket seats, adding a touch of luxury and sportiness to the cabin, albeit at a premium price.
Availability and Timeline
While some parts are already available for purchase, such as the wheels and interior components, others are slated for release in the coming months. For instance, the large rear spoiler and single-tip exhaust are scheduled for September, offering enthusiasts a staggered rollout of upgrades to anticipate.
Global Reach
Although Mugen parts are designed for the Japanese market, the company collaborates with distributors worldwide, enabling enthusiasts across the globe to access these enhancements. For example, parts like the lip spoiler and side sills are available through distributors like King Motorsports for US buyers.
Beyond Aesthetics
Mugen's upgrades not only enhance the Civic Type R's appearance but also aim to improve its on-road performance. And that philosophy applies to every little detail, including the single tailpipe. With a focus on aerodynamics, weight reduction, and interior comfort, Mugen offers a holistic upgrade package for enthusiasts seeking to elevate their driving experience.
