Can someone shed some light on the “Civic Ballade AMG”?
According to the internet it exists but information about it is very scarce.
I know Mercedes was doing some crap with Honda in Africa in the 90’s and a quick google search seems to show that this car sort of exists but there seems to be absolutely no information about it
Does anyone know anything about this?

What it supposedly looked like
At first I thought this was a joke, after a few mins of googling I’m interested in this as well, anyone got more info?
I seem to have found one that was for sale at one point but it doesn’t provide much info about it
It also says that was a factory colour which would also be quite unusual for a civic
It is also one of the only instances of a 6th gen civic sporting an AMG title that I could come across, most of them were the earlier 5th gens
MBSA (Mercedes Benz South Africa) made this Civic.
It has the B18B4 engine with 138HP and 171Nm torque (non-VTEC) or the D16A engine with 118HP and 144Nm torque (VTEC).
AMG was just a rice mod (not an insult, just the definition).
It had the AMG badges, 15” AMG Remotec or 16” Aluine Remotec, Eibach 40mm lowered suspensions and a slightly bigger spoiler.

Yeah this was one of the only instances I could find of it existing. It supposedly had a more performance orientated exhaust too.
