If you thought the Mugen RR sedan was to die for, wait til you get a load of the hatchback.

One can only assume that it’s the same upgrades, just in 3 door hotness form. One thing that is really interesting is that the original EK9 Civic Type R came with 15″ wheels. The new one is on 18’s… goes to show how much bigger the new cars are getting. Then again, with 237 hp, it does have 57 horsepower and 50 torque more than the original.

The larger wheels are also there to accommodate the larger Brembo brakes. But, just look at how tiny those 18’s look! Almost seems like some 20″ Volks would sit perfect on there.

Obviously the common styling theme here is the Triangle shape. From the vents, to the exhaust shrouds, and door handles. Even the shape of the car itself is MUCH more angular than traditional Honda styling.

I’m not diggin’ the vents on the hood, and something about the back looks funny =/ But I definitely like it more than the sedan.
