Two equipment kits for Honda Civic Type R

In a few days, the Tokyo Motor Show (January 12 – 14) will begin, where the Japanese tuner Mugen will present two equipment kits, Group A and Group B, for the Honda Civic Type R.

The Group A equipment kit includes a new front splitter, a sharper air intake shape, redesigned sills, a new rear wing, giving the car a more aggressive look. It can be said to be expected for a special version of the Type R model.

The Group B equipment kit offers much more. The front splitter and intakes are the same as in the Group A package, but the addition is a carbon hood with more air vents that are also located on the upper part of the front fenders. Wider door sills, a new rear wing and a modified bumper give the car a more muscular look and better aerodynamics. Something similar could be seen on modified cars at the beginning of the century.

Group A brings a new improved stainless steel exhaust system and new pads, while Group B comes with titanium pipes, new brake calipers and discs. Both kits bring new shock absorbers and BBS wheels.

German tuner Manhart is a master of improving the performance of German brands, especially BMW models. Their latest work is the Manhart MH5 900 based on the BMW 5 Series.

The MH5 900 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with 928 hp (692 kW) and 915 lb-ft (1,240 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power has been achieved by the remapped ECU, compared to the standard BMW 5 which has 625 hp (466 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a strengthened and recalibrated 8-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on Concave One in Silk Matt Black 21″ wheels wrapped in 275/30ZR21 front and 295/30ZR21 rear high-performance tires.

The car is finished in blue with two golden stripes on the sides. It is equipped with in-house aerodynamic and stylish carbon fiber parts such as the front spoiler, the kidney-shaped radiator grille, a two-part front apron insert and a pair of canards on the front apron, carbon bonnet in CS style, two-piece side skirts and side inserts, two-part roof spoiler above the rear windscreen, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and exterior mirror caps.

Inside, the carbon fiber basket seats are upholstered in brown leather while the headlining was refined with soft Alcantara. There are matching floor mats and Alkantara roof, the interior is completed by MANHART Dataview display and sky roof.

Better handling and agility are ensured by coilover springs by KW Suspensions, while the optionally available MANHART coilover suspension Variant 4 from KW suspension guarantees even more driving dynamics. For safe braking and stopping, the powerful and stable carbon-ceramic brake system from the M5 has been retained.
