JDM Heroes - Honda Civic Mugen RR

Subscribe: / thetorquegt
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.

[@LeadFootash23]

I rember seeing a mugen RR on the road in the UK not long after they were released and it blew me away. Absolutely amazing looking cars

[@deet4895]

Absolutely fantastic review sir, its nice to see a UK channel reviewing an FD2 Type-R when most choice to ignore these cars existence. keep up the good work.

Thanks Dee T!

I'm a muscle car guy myself, but Damn I'd buy this any day.

[@Jessica-hl7tq]

I think u should buy it, that's a good car

[@dhall3454]

Sergio Aguirre it's not about going faster for cheaper it's about buying this particular car 😂 FA5 isn't a 1 in 300 Honda with mad Mugen parts bro

[@dhall3454]

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

[@dhall3454]

Who cares how fast it goes when it's a unicorn

[@TheBb6prelude]

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.

[@mugenrr8202]

Dream car 😍 along with NSX 💯

[@ifGarage]

Integra Type R, Mugen Civic RR, 2017 Civic Type R, 2017 Honda NSX. All beautiful and brilliantly built vehicles🔰

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

I haven't heard of the RR until this vid. Nice vid. I gotta say, that's one of the best exhaust notes I've heard on a Honda. Really nice.

[@santclause1]

I'd take one of these over NEW TYPE R / FOCUS RS.

[@icecreamalacarte]

[@abcwarrior91]

santclause1 nah the new type r looks better and faster

[@flush_entity]

looks are subjective. In my opinion , though, it really does look better.

there are replica mugen rr's all over the place in the Philippines lmao, ngl I drive one 😅🤣

[@clocktower7]

From a Honda enthusiast, this Honda Civic Mugen RR is the last of its kind. There will be no more naturally aspirated V-TEC Honda Type R's or Mugen tuned Honda's which will perform or sound like this again.... Fuck those spoofing Environmentalists.

[@nickwong2525]

Yup, this car is the last of the NA Type Rs..

@Akemi SAIFULL I would change the bumpers and all but I wouldn't put the emblems on. I'm only changing the car to my liking not trying to pretend.

[@brandonwright2067]

This is so much better than the new civic crap R

[@PIGGKILLA]

we have about 8 of these in New Zealand, 2 currently for sale. been looking at getting one. hopefully the price will drop a bit though. currently selling for mid 50k NZD

[@joethecollector]

for 35g that car would already be in my garage

[@nickwong2525]

It might drop a bit in price or it might not, FD2R's prices is almost stabilized in Japan and as for Mugen RR, this one would only go up in price because it's a collector's car.. After all, this is the last NA Type Rs we will ever get.. It's turbo, turbo and more turbo from now on D:

[@pigupigu]

We have quite a few more than 8 in NZ. There's about a dozen in Auckland alone.

Yea theres about 10 or so now and still sitting in the low $50k range

for me this is the most advance civic. from the high revving vtec k20 to the exterior is the most good looking civic. the new 2016 civic seems to me like trying to hard to catch up to the turbo cars.

[@KnightIndustries572]

Holy shit that car is AWESOME!! not for Australia tho! :-( Grey import maybe?...

[@scottsmith491]

Thanks for the great video. I didn't realize these car's actually existed until I saw your video. I thought these "RR" civics where just something people made up, not a real actual car. Of course, nothing like this was offered here in the U.S. But at least we do have the new " TYPE R" So I'm thank full for that!😸

[@asrulhadiamir]

correction, civic fd2rs were sold for domestic in japan and exported to malaysia only.

[@ProMotivUK]

Great review guys!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I never felt that body of Type-R was overly aggressive. I felt it was perfect and drove amazing. I would prefer this one over other older Type-R models.

[@rileyrr2925]

Ah, the holy grail of Honda ;)

[@diegoeleazar9154]

last of the best NA civic

[@tahjo7]

wish it was uploaded on 1080P or better. would be nice to know how to acquire a mugen rr. most people don't know. that's real new information.

[@EricKZhang]

The last true JDM Civic Type R. Designed and built in Japan. 8000 rpm redline. Naturally Aspirated. What a Type R should be.

[@akhilgailot3208]

You can get that body kit easily anywhere. And they aren’t even too expensive. I’m pretty sure some guy has taken a stock FD2 and built it up to look like a clone performance and visually.

[@abunaiN1]

Sometimes wonder why Honda built a 4door saloon type R instead of a coupe or a hatch like they did with the ek9 & dc2 back in the days...

[@nickgivens6378]

Vtecing I think the sedans look better

[@abunaiN1]

Nick Givens maybe yes to some people also me like the 4dr but i think a coupe would be more sporty and better matched to the youth.

[@nickgivens6378]

Vtecing I think the reason I like the sedan is cause I'm too tall for the coupe

[@IaintTrynaGoOutLikeBIGnPAC]

Vtecing The FN2 is a type r hatch. Same with the EP3

[@smugla300zx]

very cool video, cant wait for more

[@876trucking]

[@timmgd7746]

You can purchase a mugen rr bumper on iground it’s good quality as well

[@moustachio334]

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

[@darringoodbrand6603]

The best looking civic ever made would love to get my hands on one. Looks a bit like the Mitsubishi evolution ? That's the best car I've owned was a good daily car 4 doors plenty of room and a heap of power and great handling

[@MrTDM09]

FD2 FTW

[@josuealvarez305]

Wait... so on 4:44 .... you have to put the key IN to press the “push to start” button? Didn’t they think in the factory that would be a waste to make?

[@albopastrami9269]

This should have got the normally aspirated K20 that went in the Ariel Atom Mugen; 270bhp at 8600rpm and 188 lbft

[@michaelclark3192]

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 😥

[@mclste]

Such a stunning car

[@constantinosgreek12]

Is that switch next to the engine start button at 4:45 made by Honda? Or did Mugen supply that switch? I'd like to know if it's possible to get a hold of that switch because I'd like to get one for my Civic.

[@ChrisKuni]

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

For those who is bitching about the price and honda and ricer blah blah, if you want the fastest ride then just go with the fastest one that you affordable. But is you need something special then I would definitely recommend the Mugen RR is one of those special things.

[@aa22rc]

What brand paint is that.. what is the name of that red??

[@gumpy4960]

The best type r ever made. I fo feel the fn2 was unfairly seen as too soft compared to fd2, its suspension was actually just about right for U.K. roads. Having driven an fd2 I’d actually say it’s far to hard for U.K. roads however that would be my only complaint of it, everything else was awesome.
