20 units X $64000 = $1280000

^1.3 Mil?
They aren't making much profit at all.
Honda could do the same thing on our si as well, perhaps.

Watch them raising the production limit to 50. 20 is too little. Thats only 1.3Mill. Im sure a lot of people would want to buy one if they are true Honda fanatics.

you guys missed my point~
i was trying to state that Honda should just mass reproduce it as the next gen for the si, and lower the price down to $25000.
So in the end they will make the same amount of money, except the car wouldn't be as exclusive.

But that Mugen FN2... no thanks to its looks, no thanks to the primitive suspension. Regular FN2's power is on par with USDM SI, and 10% more torque than that isn't worth $64000... or w/e the conversion
Just IMHO

Wrong. The world will buy anything as long as it's marketed as exclusive and special....

It's easily the most expensive Civic yet, costs a wallet-withering £38,599 and in one sense is an absolute bargain.
Why? Because each of these tuned 240bhp Type Rs costs about £190,000 to build, netting creator Mugen a £150,000 loss for every example sold. Which makes it easier to understand why there will only be 20.
| Price/availability: £38,599/On sale spring 2010. Tested: Honda Civic Type R Mugen Power/torque: 240bhp/156lb ft Top speed: more than 140mph Acceleration: 0-62mph in 7.0sec approx Fuel economy (Urban): N/A http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...n=Motoring2410 | |

man the normal 'euro' spec civic are a dime a dozen here in the uk. they're so much better than the ones we have in north america. Why cant we get those there? bumper laws? the ones we have there looks like a pos compared to these

nevermind the $64,000 price tag, I'd like to know what they did that cost them $326,000 to build this car!!!!!
edit: looking further into this article, they spent $33,000 building the motor for...... a 40hp increase on a K20. wtf are these idiots doing?! and that's only 10% of what they spent!
