MUGEN 2.2 is the ultimate Civic Type R sendoff

MUGEN, should the capped-up company have passed you by, is Honda's semi-official tuner, based in Northamption. It exploded onto the scene last year with the 20-run MUGEN Civic Type R, notable for its £40,000 list price. Oh, and it's awesomeness, in a 'touring car to Tesco' sort of way.

Well, four of the 20 haven't sold yet, so MUGEN has unveiled a version with even more power in the hope of shifting them. The MUGEN 2.2 increases the 2.0-litre VTEC engine's displacement to 2.2-litres, endowing the car with 257bhp.
