Honda Civic Type R Mugen 2.2: A Tribute to the Retired K20.
The Mugen-tuned UK-edition Honda Civic Type R concept was revealed in 2010 to near-universal acclaim, prompting a 20-strong limited edition production run of the hand-built, motorsport-derived machines for UK enthusiasts.

Now technicians at Northampton-based Mugen Euro have worked their magic again, producing the 2011 Honda Civic Type R Mugen 2.2—a unique version with even more power. The cylinder bore and stroke have been increased to create an overall capacity of 2,156cc, denoting the Mugen 2.2 designation. The increased engine capacity brings power up from 240 to 260PS, and peak torque is now 240Nm at 6,000rpm.

The Mugen 2.2 represents the ultimate expression of the Honda Civic Type R philosophy and its creation is a fitting tribute to the highly successful Honda K20 2.0-litre engine, which has ceased production in Japan.
