    Exclusively produced for the Japanese domestic market the Mugen RR was limited to a production of 300 units. We take a closer look at why its evolved into such an iconic Japanese performance car.

    I absolutely love this car. I can never understand why people choose to ignore this car. It is a bloody brilliant car. Well done Honda and Mugen for making an absolutely awesome product as always. Long live Honda.

      Yeah man it's still not the same, it's like an M3 badge on a 335i with bodykit or a type R badge on a modified RSX. Similar, but still just a homemade replica and not the same

      Sergio Aguirre that's like saying just get a standard 5liter GT instead of a 350 R mustang. Sure you can make it faster but it'll never be a Shelby 350 R or in this case a RR.

    On most tracks, the FK2 and FK8 won’t touch the RR. Even the regular FD2 Type-r spanked the FK2.

    It's a bit misleading when he keeps referring to the FD2R as just FD2 as the 114kw civic sport non R is an FD2. Which is the reason we in Australia are not allowed to import an FD2 type R as our sport version is the same chassis code and therefore not allowed to be imported as it is already sold here technically 😥

    They're going from 85.000,- Euro+ on the auctions in Japan these days...^^ Sure they are rare but I would prefer a normal FD2 Type R who comes around 25.000,-€ seeing the
    Mugen RR more in the place of 'the most collectable Civic' than one you could/would drive out often than standing in a garage. :P

    Such a shame the FD2 type r didn't officially come to the UK; and I believe it was actually made in the UK! Remember litchfield imported a bunch at an on the street price of about £22k if memory serves me right.
