The Mugen Civic Dominator
<p><a href="http://www.mugen-power.com/concept/dominator/"><img alt="Mugen Civic Dominator Nose Small" src="http://common.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3060000000057984.JPG?0.08198065032376539" align="right" border="1" height="156" hspace="4" vspace="4" width="250"/></a></p>
<p>I first saw this over on HighAltitudeImports.com. The car looks great, but with a name like Mugen it has to be $$$
</p>
<p>
Leading Honda tuner Mugen has always enjoyed a cosy relationship with its favorite manufacturer. Thus, it?s fitting that the firm has unveiled an oh-so-OEM flash-heavy<br />
<a href="http://www.mugen-power.com/concept/dominator/">microsite</a> for its latest concept, ?The Dominator. </p>
<p>Details on the Dom are slim, but the company?s skunkworks have cranked the dials up to ?11? on a 2006 Civic sedan, strapping on a ?Super Charger? (sic) to generate the obligatory vulgar display of power that?s become necessary for any showcar. Mugen routes a claimed 300 metric horsepower (that?s about 296 ponies to you, Yankee) from its artificially aspirated K20A powerplant through a six-speed manual transmission, but amazingly, the company makes no note of a limited-slip differential. Best double-check the life insurance policy, then.</p>
<p>In the styling department, Mugen?s gone Alfa, subtly grafting a pair of rear ?beertap? style door handles in the Civic?s C-pillars, giving the Dominator a more coupe-like profile. An admittedly handsome body kit with center-exit twin exhausts and undertray, 18? wheels with uprated kicks, and a gigantic wing (natch) properly sell the drama, particularly with the sharp-looking front/rear light fixtures (factory issue, not-for-U.S.-consumption bits). The approximately 5,000 coats of lipstick-red paint don?t hurt, either.</p>
<p>The Dominator is set to break cover at the 2006 Tokyo Auto Salon on January 13th.</p>
