Motul Mugen Civic

It's a car familiar to Gran Turismo fans. But what actually is it?



Well, it's a Motul Mugen Civic Si racer, built by Mugen in 1987. The 1600cc DOHC was tuned to produce 225bhp, including forged pistons, race cams, 80% increased injector flow, baffled sump, double-width radiator, straight-through exhaust, as well as 6-point cage, LSD and AP Racing brakes.

The original now lives at the Twin Ring Motegi Museum:

Pretty cool, huh?
