The Honda S660 And Civic Type R Have Been Given The Mugen Treatment

Here are the Mugen-ified cars Honda will be displaying at next month's Tokyo Auto Salon, with performance parts, lairy bodykits and spoilers fitted to the Japanese manufacturer's sportier cars... and some not so sporty ones as well!

As if the Honda S660 wasn’t already one of the coolest cars on sale today, Mugen has gone and modified some of the cuteness out of the funky kei car to somehow make it even more desirable. Sure, it looks more like a poodle with an attitude problem than a starving Rottweiler, but this diminutive ‘sports’ car is transformed by its various vents, lip kit and prominent rear spoiler.

The original car has just 63bhp, however this model has “performance parts that maximise driving excitement.” Mugen doesn’t elaborate on exactly what this means, but judging by the parts catalogue on its website you can expect to find sports suspension, a sports exhaust kit, and uprated brakes.

When it comes to the Civic Type R, Mugen is even more vague with its revelations; all we have to go on are pictures. It does say that it has used its motorsport wind tunnels to develop effective aerodynamics for the new hot hatch, with the front splitter, winglets and rear spoiler currently the most obvious upgrades.

Mugen is still developing performance parts for the new FK2 Civic Type R, so this concept will likely be displayed with purely aesthetic modifications. Watch this space, though; in stock form the engine uses a single, mono-scroll turbo, with ‘VTEC’ kicking in at low revs to eliminate turbo lag. Expect Mugen’s boffins to play around with this setup and different types of turbo to eke even more power from the 2.0-litre unit.

It’s not just enthusiast cars getting a makeover, either. What you see here is the Mugen Step WGN Spada, a modified version of Honda’s intriguing eight-seater MPV. The completely redesigned front bumper gives it an unashamedly aftermarket look, while the rear spoiler is integrated into the odd ‘Waku Waku Gate’ rear door. It might just be me, but this makes my inner ricer jump for joy.

I’d buy that s660 and swapped it with F20B engine on it and produced 200whp. Lmao 😂

Why not a K20? then you’d have a transverse gearbox that bolts right up and a better flowing head.

Agreed, I wish that Honda brings the step WGN spada instead of the odyssey j, which is basically the Japanese version of the odyssey sold alongside the US model, and this is one of the things that I like about Honda Middle East that they bring international models, the last international model we has was the civic type r but sadly it flopped

The type R somehow looks less obnoxious than with the original spoiler. Now it looks more serious

Is it bad that I’m beginning to fall in love with the Step WGN?

You must me one of those “Bugatti Veyron is the best car ever” people. You can have tons of fun with a small sportscar. That S660 screams fun on the twisties.
