Civic Type R

[Tyrdstorm]

Ok, it's not an MS3, but I thought it was cool none-the-less. While we were in Greece a couple weeks ago I walked by a Civic Type-R and since I was impressed I had to snap a few pics. Why don't they release these cars in the US?

[SallySpeed3]

I have to agree. That thing makes the 2010 speed3 look like a beauty.

 

[shaneS]

ya there very ugly and definately sound more rice than any other civic out there altough there around 238hp stock which is damn good for an na car and yes there only sold in the UK and i think only 20 were made so there pretty rare...

 

[mrwicked]

MAZDA FTMFW! All said lol

 

[oaklandopen]

so what's the difference between the typeR and the mugen that you can get in the states? (too lazy to gooooooooogle)

 

[jakepshs07]

the mugen in the states i believe just comes in the sedan version with 198 hp k20 when the one in uk is the ugly ass hatch version that sounds even more like a bumble bee haha and has 238hp from higher compression pistons new cams, new exhaust, and new ecu so it can rev higher... its pretty much a copy of fords new focus turboed over there in the uk minus the turbo and 320hp that that beast puts out and the price is pretty close to the same around 40k which is fin rediculous
