I guess part of the lack of enthusiasm is the fact the difference between this and the JDM CTR is minimal in reality, but yet Mugen want another £8 or 9K for the mods!
I know the air box, suspension, and exhaust system from Mugen isn't cheap, but they aren't THAT expensive.
And that's before it's landed, which by Litchfield standards for the imported JDM CTR, would equate to a car costing the thick end of £30K!
Far too much never mind the exclusivity aspect.
Speaking of which, I knew 300 was mentioned, but thought I'd read that was initially, with the potential intention of becoming a yearly figure.
Factor in with Mugen being a part of Honda, they'd have been involved in the CTR from the off, so no real separate R&D expenditure to claw back with the price difference.
I'd love one, but I wouldn't pay for it myself!
I'd have also liked to have seen a unique colour as well.
