This car, this piece of work truly deserves in own thread. I'd buy this in a heartbeat over any V8 for that matter. :bowdown:

There is a snorkel box that goes over the top to direct air into the ITBs.

wow didn't know Mugen makes engines - so this is really Mugen-made engine or just Mugen-tuned ?

Not a fan of the current style but this looks sick

Mugen is Honda's motorsports arm on a higher level compared to AMG/M/STi/Nismo/RalliArt etc. All Honda F1, F3, GT500, GT300 engines and chassis development are strictly Mugen. Talk about high level exposure and technical expertise, Mugen is not easily matched.

Mugen needs to make more of a presence in Acura cars over here...

I guess I can keep dreaming

 

[Noel]

That's an enthusiasts dream worldwide. :thumbsup:
