maybe just me, but I keep seeing "Angry Birds" not decided if it's the Red one or the Black "Bomb" Bird :lol:
Do we think that's a possibility?
I've never seen anything this bad from Mugen. Absolutely vile, with no redeeming features. Wouldn't even buy the exhaust based on the way that looks.

I think the populace are missing the point with this. Evidently the car has been created with one thing in mind, track capabilities. This is surely the result of countless hours of wind tunnel tests to maximise airflow and downforce. It isn't meant to be pretty, it isn't a road car.
I personally like most of it, because I can see beyond the initial OMG reaction and see it for what it is.
Granted the wheels are hideous, but even then I surmise that they have been created to allow air to flow across them to aid in high speed stability and/or draw air in to assist in brake cooling.

Google translated from a Japanese press release:
At "Tokyo Auto Salon 2018" held at Makuhari Messe from 12th to 14th January, Honda is talking about announcing the 2018 motorsport regime etc, but will do motor sports activities with that Honda M - TEC exhibited the company 's brand "Infinite" booth. It was "MUGEN RC 20 GT CIVIC TYPE R Concept" which was produced on the main stage based on the new Civic Type R [FK 8].
Although it is based on the new Civic Type R, it is a model developed aiming at "Ultimate Type R" without considering public road driving, as it is attached with the concept of car name. In the exterior, front and rear bumpers, bonnets, rear spoilers, etc. are made of dry carbon, and the wheel is fitted with 20 inches in front and back. The brake caliper has also been replaced.
The tire size is 245 / 40ZR20 both before and after. Wheel is made of aluminum forging and setting is 20 × 8.5 J +53 in both front and rear. In addition to being exchanged to the exclusive monoblock type for the front calipers around the brakes, the rotor has slits in both front and rear. Of course the brake pads also become exclusive items.
Although the inside of the engine is basically not put in the hand, the carbon cleaner box is perfection that can be released even now. In addition to reducing fresh air to reduce the intake air temperature, we can not wait for marketing only for parts that greatly change the appearance inside the engine room.
The interior looks more conceptual than the exterior, meters etc are dummy. The steering is also a formula machine style design. The front seat is a full bucket type, using an already-marketed shell, and that the epidermis has been replaced with a new design. The bucket type is also built in the rear seat and the rear seat occupant is two people. In the center of the car body there is a roll cage penetrating to the luggage space.
It is hard to imagine that this "MUGEN RC 20 GT CIVIC TYPE R Concept" will be sold as it is, but from the word "infinity categorizes the feelings that the infinite civic type R will take", the enthusiasm for this car is transmitted. Looking forward to the development of infinite parts for Civic Type R.
