| Honda Mugen RR Sporty And Elegent |
The Honda
Civic Type R is the highest performance version of the Honda Civic made by
Honda Motor Company of Japan. It features a lightened and stiffened body,
specially tuned engine and upgraded brakes and chassis. . Other modifications
include uprated brakes, shocks and springs and Mugen’s new 'I-TCMS' tire
monitoring system.
Another
area that’s been improved is the gearbox set-up. The standard model’s manual
‘box has been replaced with a six-speed sequential unit, which shifts gears in
a blistering 80 milliseconds. The car still retains a clutch but this is only
used when launching from a standstill. The car’s body has also been given a
major makeover. In addition to the new carbon-fiber front bar, designers
stripped out the cabin and replaced the standard seats with figure-hugging
buckets.
Red
is also used in the interior to give it a special sporting distinction and to
separate it from other Honda models. In Japan, there is a one-make series of
Honda Type R cars where privateers can purchase an off-road Type R and compete
in a series championship which is a stepping stone for many aspiring racing
drivers.
