Mugen Euro to move to new premises
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – MUGEN EURO CO LTD
GMT AM 8:00 11/July/2013
After successfully operating out of premises in Northampton for the past seven years, Mugen Euro will be moving in October 2013 to a new purpose-adapted engine research and development centre based nearby in Milton Keynes, UK.
In 2006 Mugen Euro was formed to help maintain the tradition of MUGEN engines operating in numerous categories of world motorsport. In addition, from 1992 to 1999 MUGEN supplied its own-prepared Grand Prix engines (scoring 4 famous victories). Now with this expansion into bespoke premises the company can progress even further in the supply and preparation of HONDA-based winning powertrains for a variety of racing and rallying categories, including CN sports racing cars, and to distribute quality Mugen-Power performance parts through its UK retailers.
Mugen Euro Vice President Hiro Toyoda announced the reason for the change of location:
“Expansion of our current HONDA WTCC factory/customer team engine support programme to extend to additional customer teams next year, together with further high-level motorsport projects to be accommodated in 2015 and onwards means that we need significantly larger and better-equipped premises. We are also taking advantage of the latest available technologies in installing the most up-to-date dynamometers and control equipment, as well as markedly improving the facilities for our staff and visitors”.
The first of several advanced-specification transient AC engine test cells engineered by our technical partner SIERRA CP Engineering will be in operation from November 2013.

Indeed; the return to F1 is rather connected to the re-launch of the NSX (small V6s and some form of KERS!) and the Civic Type-R with its turbo engine.
With a new Beat for Japan, Honda is starting to come back.
