Mugen starts business in Europe

Pistonheads released a news about the new Honda Civic Type R which is a 240 HP Mugen tuned version and will be released this fall in Great Britain. While it was a fairly good news there is still the price which leaves a bad taste on the Civic with 35k pounds. Thats fairly much.

 

The real groundbreaking news is that Mugen acquired a former Cosworth facility in Northamptonshire so Mugen will soon be present in Europe. That's not interesting? You are totally wrong my friend, because this is more than an important news. A Mugen facility inside Europe would allow completely new price ranges on the products. If you buy Mugen parts today you have to import them from Japan. Import laws of the European Union add import taxes and customs fees on imported goods which makes the products up to 40% more expensive than in Japan or the USA. Now if Mugen would have a facility inside Europe this fees wouldn't exist. There would just be the vat which you would have to calculate when buying products.

Think of Spoon and how their products became affordable, since you didn't have to import them from Japan or USA.

 

What do we think? Thank you Mugen. It was time for that.
