Honda Civic 5D MUGEN Concept

Honda Civic 5D Mugen

Mugen showcased this concept model called the Honda Civic 5D MUGEN at the 2008 Moscow International Automobile Salon. It’s based on the 5-door Civic hatchback sold in European markets. You can see the family resemblance to the Honda Civic Mugen RR concept shown back in 2007 thanks to the usage of triangular shapes in the various design details of the kit. The Civic Mugen RR went into a 300 unit limited production so we may see the Civic 5D MUGEN entering production as well.

Look after the jump for a few more shots.

    Why got 2 rear spoiler. The UK civic already has limited rear view. Put another ah beng spoiler to generate downforce or to fly.

    This got to be worst designed car to come from Honda.

    Recently Honda is trying too hard in the design department and cars are coming out looking funny. May suit ah bengs

    City ….. awkful design……
    EP3 Civic ….MPV design & horrible interior
    FD2 Civic ….MPV design & horrible interior
    CP Accord …No shame……. copying BMW and Merc
    CM Accord ….this is when they started to go wrong……
    Oddesey … In black colour looks like coffin car Hearse…
    Edix …. what hell you call this?.

    very nice, but the 3-dr version is the best!!

    and btw Altezzar, Odyssey in black paint (and bling bling wheels) is extremely COOL, can make any Estima and Alphard shame anytime anywhere…..

    and how about CRV? Jazz? Ridgeline? u forget to mention? or those cars are just too well-designed?

    back then this was my dream car when it first released, then knowing its impossible to get it here in msia, 2 years ago i pray hard that the next city will look something like this, and yes! some resemblances and yet looks even better for sedan from the spied pics (hopefully). now damn happy cos finally all the waiting and patience paid off.

    Torsion beam rear suspension should not always hamper car’s handling, given the right design. The French did this best – in the past , with the likes of Peugeot 306 GTi-6 & Renault Clio RS.

    Wonder if this Civic Mugen version could topple the current hot hatch king – Renault Megane RS.

    gosh… this european version civic really looks terrible… with the rear spoiler, it juz makes the car look like a supermarket trolley… i guess Honda juz did it for lulzzz… anyway, JDM version of civic has the best design currently…

    Is that the FD2 Civic Type-R wing i spot on the back? Don’t tell me Mugen is cutting cost on this Civic variant.

    2 door version should be better for this hot hatch.

    sharp edges with bullet shaped chassis.

    looks pretty striking.
