Honda N-One Gets the Mugen Racing Treatment: 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon
Though America will never see the likes of the Honda N-One, automotive enthusiasts got a look at what the Japanese automaker’s newest addition to its kei car lineup can look like with some modifications.
At the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon, Honda and Mugen showed off its N-One Racing Concept, sporting a widebody kit and race-inspired modifications like a side-exit exhaust system. A full roll cage has been fabricated inside the cabin along with race seats, four-point harnesses, and steering wheel.

The brakes on the Mugen N-One Racing Concept have been upgraded with four-piston calipers in the front and two-piston calipers in the rear. 16×7-inch wheels have been bolted onto each corner of the N-One and mated to slicks.
Some of the body modifications might seem over the top for a compact, but the tuning community out in Japan love modifying their kei cars.
