Yes Mugen showed thier own Type-R in pictures a long time ago (the pearl white car with the more extreme wing) and those pictures appear here.
This car was officially unvieled and named on the 28th of June (Mugens own date on thier website) but I havent seen anyone talking about it here with those official shots, hence the reason for the post. The car is not even available until the start of September and does not yet appear on Mugen's own website as an official model, only as a teaser page. Changes over the white car include more power, a new twin exhaust and center LED brakelight and fully revised suspension & brakes.
And again, according to Mugen, there are only 300 cars
total Not 300 per year.....

...and probably already sold out
.
It seems that loads of other motoring boards have been talking about this car but nobody here seems to either know about it or want to acknowledge it? Strange, I would have thought this was of high interest seeing as Mugen are making the move into the UK market some time very soon. So parts and components developed on this car may well become available for the Euro shape Type-R. They already show a very tasty airbox & filter system on thier website for the
JDM shape so I would not be surprised if this was already being developed for the Euro engine bay.
Here is a youtube video of the standard Mugen testing at Tsukuba (1.06 lap... VERY quick)

Ps. BMW should be fine as "RR" is an abrieviation of "Rolls Royce", it is not a particular model name (the cars are called "Roll Royce Phantom" not "RR Phantom"), so their should be no infringment on copyright.
