This man has a natural gift for speaking. A natural speaker. It's fascinating to hear him talk about these cars. He could sell me any car that he wanted!
Didn’t know much about the Mugen side of Honda before so it was cool to see what they do. Maybe it would be good to see more on the JDM tuning arms of the manufacturers
Sad that this is now in the past. Mugen is now dedicated itself to aero kits of questionable design and construction. Nothing more on the side of performance. For that you have Spoon or Seeker…
Desde mi humilde opinión, como propietario de EP3, creo que el FD2 Mugen RR, representa en su máxima expresión el significado y el concepto de la filosofía del departamento de Type R. Mecánica pura y sensaciones puras, sin interferencias, unas sensaciones que te llegan a lo más profundo de la mente y del corazón
I doubt it because its not like a standalone car that was built from the ground up by Mugen - just a package essentially so doubt the officials over there would deem it special
love the car and appreciate the explanation... but not even a drive or a start-up? track-focused car and yet it never leaves the garage edit: nvm. just saw the other vid, same channel
Love Honda, and a big fan of Torque GT (still got my DC5, thanks!). But this car more than many will struggle to justify the price tag. I know there are lots of people out there for whom £80 grand is chicken feed, but for a Civic? Even one as scarce and special as this? Don’t get me wrong, someone will pay the money, if they haven’t already. I’m afraid this is an example of rarity/exclusivity spoiling a car, it’s cost places it in the ‘store in the garage’ category. Who in their right mind is going to pay that much for one of these and then actually use it? We all want our own JDM metal to appreciate, but some recent examples have been ridiculous. To that end… New idea, Torque GT: car hire. Rather than charge £150,000 for one person to buy a mint R34, charge £150 an hour and let everyone have a go! That would get you included in my will! Thanks for the excellent service before, during and after buying my car, and glad to see your videos are going again. Maybe a tribute to the old DC5 would be good for a future episode?
Some very well made points there. Yeah cars like this won't be driven very much on the roads, never mind the track where this car was made for. Just curious to see how stiff it is on the road Torque GT? I remember when my brother had a standard FD2 and it was really firm on the roads here so I would guess the RR would be even stiffer again.
Not a fan of the fd2, the proportions are all wrong with a very short mini-vany front and the saloon rear. Even if there were 300 of these and many thousands of nsx, s2000 or integras out there those would still feel more special to me. Do like everything Mugen did to it though 👌
@@Torque-GT definitely not broken. I got to have a great look around it on Thursday, curtius of darren & all the team. Had a great hour or looking round. You have some awesome cars. Looking forward to you doing a video on the CR-Z Mugen RZ 🤩🤩😜😜
Glad mugen did their thing with this one. Not the biggest fan one of the ugliest generations imo. Aside from the engine not a big fan of this one. Id rather swap that k20rr in a 90s civic

The Ultimate Civic of all time. These will be worth a fortune in years to come 😍
They’re already worth a fortune what are you talking about! Only 300 ever made.
One sold to an Australian buyer 4 years ago for $220000 AUD$
@@shazboz that is insane, in brunei we only have one but the owner bought them in 09 for 80k bnd.

So glad you guys are back...you have some of the best JDM cars in your selection. I love every single one of these JDM cars.
Honda really got a the styling of a number of generations of civics right - still look fresh today.

One of my all time favorite cars, a video of this on the road would be excellent.
They have one from a few years ago.
One of the most beautiful car ever built along side the dc5
DC5, S2000, FD2RR -> Best of the Best.
This is one of the ugliest generations ever 😂😂
I 100% agree that these are the ultimate civics, probably the only one I would own and keep for ever .
Absolutely in love with the RR, being it was the last TRUE Type R made.. Amazing machine😍
True Honda fan, no hiding that. What a car.

Currently own that era of Si; such a great car from the factory (minus the interior). I can only imagine the improvements made with this car
You guys should do a drag race with all these legends
These machines aren't for drag races and I really cannot understand why the Western are so fantasies on drag races that purely on bhp numbers.
That's a bad ass car hands down and I have a 2015 civic si sedan My dream car lol.
I’m supercharging my mugen si this spring! Can’t wait. Such a fun car.
Not a massive honda fan but that is pretty special
The Mugen NSX Type R. The prototype that had the engine mounted longitudinally. Or a Mugen s2000. Mugen Type R DC2 Mugen Type R DC5
Wow next time take it for a driving review after the showroom please 👌🏻
Definitely would love one of these in my garage.
Great vid, but it's Moo-gen, not myuu-gen (for future ref).
This and the DC2 are peak Honda to me.
Last Type R with true VTEC
Beauties! Especially the Subaru. I can't wait to see more!
Sucks we never got this variant in the United States
Wonder how many of these on UK soil? Be cool to see some footage of it in action, but I guess it's so precious you don't want to de-value it!
Look up Mugen RR pukekohi. Guy giving one a good hard drive on track in NZ
@@vancehibberd1546 will do thanks
What a fucking beast 😻❤️👌🏽 2nd dream car after the NSX R
S2000 is my dream car.
@@bige7186 How about all 3? :)
@@TheDalitis8 y not! That’s a dream ..
Does the air intakes on the hood cause water in engine bay to do any electrical damage?
Hi was these for sale in the UK?
What a car!
Would like to see the CR-Z Mugen RZ please😜😜
Incredible.....
I neqrly imported one of these when they came out for £35k...
What a mistake that was.
Could this car become part of the show and display list here in the US?
I doubt it because its not like a standalone car that was built from the ground up by Mugen - just a package essentially so doubt the officials over there would deem it special
Show us what the Torque GT gang drive daily 🤙🏼
Coming soon!
love the car and appreciate the explanation... but not even a drive or a start-up? track-focused car and yet it never leaves the garage
edit: nvm. just saw the other vid, same channel
It's great but personally I prefer original mugen type r
Anyone know if the carbon pieces that were on this car at the auto show made it into production?
True.... The best civic Mugen ever....
Really nice car mugen RR 🥰🥰🤩💪💪

it absolutely is the best
The best is the nsx-r. The second best car is the integra type r. The greatest fwd car to modify is the civic eg
does it have independent rear suspension tho?
Obviously...
Favourite civib
Everyone knows that the best honda ever made is the first one they drive , obviously.
Awesome car. I would pick it over most Ferraris.
300 units worldwide only. 😭

I think i want it..
Badass car - but anyone else notice the broken drivers door wind deflector?
This is the shape of the Mugen wind deflector. The light does indeed make it look strange but definitely not broken. 😊

This over a brand new 911 Turbo S. Honest to God.
This video was made to help increase the over inflated prices of these. Special car but its not worth 90k
ooooooh just seen the price...
myugen
Shame the bonnet vents are fake. Amazing car otherwise.
237 horsepower beating GTRs at the track?? This I have to see.
Looks like a normal Honda to me
Moo, not Mew.
Only 300
Glad mugen did their thing with this one. Not the biggest fan one of the ugliest generations imo. Aside from the engine not a big fan of this one. Id rather swap that k20rr in a 90s civic
Such a sexy ass car. I would take this over any ctr all day.
RIP Honda
