Japanese tuning company, Mugen Motorsports, has waved its wand over a European specific model for the first time in the Honda Civic 5-door hatchback. Revealed at the Moscow Motor Show with cosmetic modifications only in the form of a body kit closely resembling the previously released Honda Civic Mugen RR from last year, this concept is a sign that Mugen is testing the waters of the old continent. Surely, with the Honda name gaining popularity across Europe, hoards of Honda tuners will be lined up to tap into the European market, and who better to test the waters first than the one with familiar ties to Honda Motor Company.

Moscow Motor Show? My how times have changed! I mean who would've thought the Russian economy would've bounce back so quickly 5, 10 years ago? Amazing...

Btw, Mugen power ftw!

Nahh, its probably naturally aspirated...while the sound of a Honda I-4 can't be as mean as an American V8, you should give it credit. Performance Honda 4s have a pretty mean growl to them as they climb the rev range. You're confused with the lower economical offerings.
