THE ATHLETE, THAT’S THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF THIS BEEFED UP HONDA CIVIC.

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE THE BRAD PITT OF AUTOMOBILES, BUT JUST LIKE ANY ATHLETE,

WHAT IT LACKS IN APPEARANCE, IT COVERS UP IN PERFORMANCE. JUST IMAGINE,

A 2.0 DOHC I-VTEC ENGINE WITH A 6-SPEED GEARBOX, I DON’T REALLY KNOW ANY

TECHNICALITIES OR WHAT THE HECK DOHC MEANS, BUT IT SURE SOUNDS FAST.

JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THIS CAR SPELLS S-P-E-E-D. JUST LOOK AT THE

COCKPIT AND INTERIOR… SEEMS LIKE F1 ENGINEERS DESIGNED THE BLOODY THING.

ALL WAS KEPT AT A MINIMUM (HEY YOU DON’T SEE WOOD TRIMS IN F1 CARS, DO YOU?).

LARGE KNOBS AND A UNIQUE GEAR-SHIFT POSITION (ONLY FOUND IN TOURING AND

RALLY CARS) REALLY MAKE THE TYPE-R A COMPLETE RACING PACKAGE.

BUT WAIT… WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ATHLETE DISCOVERS DRUGS? BEHOLD…

THE MUGEN CIVIC TYPE R. THE CIVIC TYPE-R ON STEROIDS. RECENTLY LAUNCHED AT

THE TOKYO MOTORSHOW, ITS MEANER, NASTIER, AND HAS MORE ATTITUDE THAN YOUR

MOMMA. FITTED WITH PERFORMANCE PARTS TO JUICE UP THE ALREADY FURIOUS TYPE-R.

JUST HOPE YOU'RE DRIVING A PLANE WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER IT ON THE STREET.
