Honda launches Civic Mugen Limited Edition

August 05,2011

Honda launches a special edition of the Civic 2.0, as it no doubt is preparing for the launch of the all-new model some months away. Called the Civic Mugen, the modifications are mostly body parts that enhance the Civic’s looks. Those hoping for a heavily souped-up sedan need not apply; the excellent VTEC engine retains its 153 bhp output. And talk about limited: only 26 units of the Mugen will be available.

Here’s more from Honda:
