2011 Honda Civic Type R Mugen 2.2 is the unique car from Honda which designed by Northampton-based MUGEN Euro. The racing touch is also makes this car looks impressive and interesting for the racing car fan.
The fast run is the most reflected improvement for this car. Compared to a standard Honda Civic Type R, both power and torque are up 30 per cent.
When coupled to the host of motorsport-derived components created exclusively by Mugen - including sports suspension, uprated brakes and a stunning performance bodykit - the Mugen 2.2 represents the ultimate expression of the Honda Civic Type R philosophy.
The Honda K20 engine has also powered the only two complete road cars produced by Mugen; the Honda Civic Mugen RR four-door saloon sold in Japan, plus the limited Honda Civic Type R Mugen sold in the UK.
Hiro Toyoda, vice-president of Mugen Euro, commented: "Environmental pressures mean naturally aspirated engines are rapidly being superseded by other engine architectures and technologies.

La nuova Honda Civic Type R non sarà solo la versione più veloce e sportiva del modello, ma questa volta la vettura di punta della Honda sarà la prima turbo stradale della casa.
secondo quanto riportato da Auto Express, Honda è già a buon punto per lo sviluppo della nuova Honda Civic Type R, la versione sportiva del modello di punta della casa giapponese. Rispetto al modello precedente la sportiva giapponese deve confrontarsi con la normativa sulle emissioni, che di fatto rendono impossibile l'utilizzo di un motore simile al precedente 2.0 litri aspirato.
Le moins que l’on puisse dire c’est que la nouvelle Honda Civic n’a pas enthousiasmé les foules au salon de Francfort et elle ne nous a pas séduit ni convaincu même si nous espérons que le ramage soit plus attrayant que le plumage ! Aussi l’illustrateur d’Autoexpress s’est penché sur le cas Civic et il nous propose sa vision de ce que pourrait être la future version Type R ou R attendue pour 2013. Une chose est sure, la nouvelle Type R sera turbo mais on ne sait pas pour l’instant quel sera le bloc et quelle en sera sa cylindrée.
Quella che vedete in foto è una ricostruzione grafica fatta dallo staff di Auto Express, che ha provato ad immaginarsi come sarà la nuova Civic nell’allestimento più sportivo di casa Honda, conosciuto come Type R. Sotto una pelle muscolosa e aerodinamica, che potrebbe anche differire dalla ricostruzione qui riportata, ci sarà però una sorpresa, che potrebbe essere una grande delusione per alcuni e una bella novità per altri.
La prossima generazione di Civic Type R rinuncerà al tipico motore aspirato di casa Honda per dotarsi di una moderna unità con turbocompressore. Dato l’abbandono del motore aspirato e delle canoniche tre porte per la versione più sportiva non ci resta che constatare che questa nuova Type R rappresenterà una profonda rottura con la tradizione Honda.
All 2002 Honda Civic sedans and coupes feature a revised steering box for improved driving feel, added sound insulation and slightly tweaked suspension tuning. For 2002, there are three main trim levels: DX, LX and EX. Mid-level LX comes with air conditioning (includes a micron air filter), power windows and locks, cruise control and a cassette deck. There's also the natural gas-powered GX sedan, the high fuel-mileage HX coupe and the new Civic Si hatchback.
DX and LX are powered by a 115-horsepower 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine and are mated to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The engines in the GX, HX and EX are equipped with Honda's VTEC variable valve-timing system. VTEC allows the EX to make 127 horsepower. Later in 2002, Honda is set to offer a gasoline/electric hybrid Civic showcasing technology developed for the Honda Insight.
If it's power you are looking for, the 2002 Honda Civic Hatchback should suit you. Other features include standard rear disc brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, sport seats and special gauges. Regardless of the body style, the Civic earns excellent scores in government crash tests. ABS is offered, but only on EX, GX and Si trim.

Roadsters tend to be narrowly focused on performance, sacrificing practicality in the name of merriment. CR stands for "club racer," denoting this model's track-specific tweaks for reduced weight and sharper handling. Second, while its 2.2-liter VTEC four does a credible impression of a racecar engine above 6,000 rpm, there's little power to speak of at lower engine speeds.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2009 Honda S2000 is a compact two-seat roadster that is available in two versions -- base and CR. The base S2000 includes a power convertible soft top with a glass rear window, 17-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, leather upholstery, full power accessories, air-conditioning and a CD player.
The CR model is a racetrack-focused variant aimed at die-hard enthusiasts. The CR also receives some unsightly but effective aerodynamic spoilers, dark gray wheels with wider rear tires, even sportier suspension tuning, a quicker steering ratio, a sport-tuned muffler and fabric seats with suede inserts. Add it all up and the topless CR is 99 pounds lighter than the standard Honda S2000 (51 pounds lighter with the hardtop installed). Some of the base model's options are also available on the CR.
Powertrains and PerformanceA six-speed manual transmission relays this power to the rear wheels. Fuel economy checks in at an EPA-rated 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 21 mpg in combined driving.Driving ImpressionsPerformance differences between the standard Honda S2000 and CR model are nearly indistinguishable on public roads.
2006 honda civic has completely redesigned the Civic for 2006. The company has also improved the gas-electric IMA system for the Civic Hybrid and restored the Civic Si trim's potency with a 197-horsepower engine and a sportier coupe body style.
Introduction All DX, LX and EX models are powered by a SOHC 1.8-liter, inline four-cylinder engine with Honda's i-VTEC system. The GX uses a natural gas-fueled version that makes 113 hp and 109 lb-ft. The previous Civic Si hatchback was a performance disappointment. For those interested more in fuel economy rather than 0-60-mph times, there's the Civic Hybrid sedan. Whichever model you choose, it's pretty hard to go wrong with the 2006 Honda Civic.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2006 honda civic is available as a sedan or a two-door coupe. There are also three specialty models: the Civic Hybrid sedan, Civic GX sedan and the Civic Si coupe. The front wheels of all DX, LX and EX models are powered by a 1.8-liter, inline four-cylinder engine. The 1.3-liter gas-electric powertrain found in the Civic Hybrid makes 110 hp and boasts the best fuel-economy figures of the Civic range -- 50 mpg for both city and highway with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Every 2006 honda civic comes equipped with antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and active front-seat head restraints. DX, LX, GX and Hybrid models have front disc/rear drum brakes, while the EX and Si have four-wheel discs.
The Civic's large dash features an unusual layout. Honda calls it a two-tier design.
The 2008 honda accord has been fully redesigned for 2008. My, how the little Honda Accord has grown. Still available in sedan and coupe body styles, the all-new 2008 Honda Accord is most obviously highlighted by its slick new styling. Available on EX sedans and all coupes, the midlevel inline-four-cylinder produces a best-in-class 190 horsepower -- by comparison, the 1998 all-new Accord featured an optional V6 that produced 200 hp.
All that power comes at no fuel economy expense, as it matches the fuel economy estimates of the previous model's four-cylinder. As a matter of fact, all 2008 honda accord engines get better highway fuel economy than the 125-hp 1990 Accord and even come close to the tiny 68-hp 1977 edition. The outgoing Honda Accord managed to hold its own against the recently redesigned Altima and Camry sedans, and the all-new Accord should make Toyota and Nissan sweat even more.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2008 Honda Accord is available in sedan and coupe body styles. The sedan comes in LX, LX-P, EX and EX-L trim levels, while the coupe comes in LX-S, EX and EX-L trims. The sedan's LX-P adds 16-inch alloy wheels, auto up-down front windows and a power driver seat. The EX adds 17-inch wheels and a sunroof to each body style's upgraded LX trim level. The EX sedan gains the in-dash six-CD changer, while the EX coupe gets a premium stereo system with subwoofer. The EX-L trim level adds leather upholstery, auto-on headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats and satellite radio. The EX-L sedan gains the premium stereo system, while the EX-L coupe gains the power driver seat.
The 2008 Honda Accord comes with a choice of powerful and fuel-efficient engines. The LX and LX-P sedans come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 177 hp and 161 pound-feet of torque. An upgraded version of that 2.4-liter engine that makes a class-leading 190 hp is standard on the EX sedans and all coupes. A five-speed manual is standard with the four-cylinder engines, with a five-speed automatic optional. The Accord's fuel economy is very impressive. Both four-cylinder engines with automatic transmissions achieve 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while the six-cylinder with the automatic gets 19 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. All Accords come standard with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags and full-length curtain airbags.
Driving Impressions The 2008 Honda Accord maintains the car's traditional mix of both sporty handling and comfort.
