To be honest, this years TAS was the worst I ever saw, not because of the organization (it was almost perfect), but the heavy atmosphere due mainly to recent financial results announced in the car industry.
I admit two major names succeeded in surprising us at the last minute. One of them was Mugen and their LORD so gorgeous Honda NSX RR concept... If (unfortunately) it's purely a show-car without an engine, the NSX RR concept is Mugen’s way of celebrating the NSX's upcoming birthday by giving her an incredible bodykit.
Next to the NSX RR we discovered another in the flesh the Honda Accord Mugen 24sc, its super charged 2.4L DOHC i-VTEC engine, and 6 speed manual gear box... Already quite attractive, the Accord Mugen S24sc with its improved engine and tuned aerodynamics could be a serious challenger to certain Germanic productions with its way more affordable price.
Finally, like last year, we had the pleasure of meeting the Civic RR's big brother, the RR Advanced with its powered-up engine and full carbon body.
Yes, Mugen was again this year quite the booth to visit, and Lord we just love the NSX RR.
Good job guys!
