Mugen Just Made the Super-One Look Meaner Without Adding Power
by AutoExpert | 18 April, 2026
The Super-One already stands on its own, and Mugen just gives it a bit more bite. No big overhaul, just a few changes that make it feel tighter and a little more serious.
At the front, it’s obvious straight away. There’s a black chin spoiler sitting lower, and the hood now has vents, which gives it a tougher look. Then along the sides, the wider fender extensions stand out, with extra vents over the arches. It does not try to hide anything; it makes it clear what it is.
Add carbon mirror caps, deeper side skirts, and 16-inch forged five-spoke wheels, and it looks wider and a bit lower. At the back, a larger roof spoiler and sharper bumper details just make it look more aggressive, nothing too complicated.
Inside, the standard seats are out, replaced by Recaro semi-buckets that hold you in place a bit better. Around them, there are small Mugen touches. Floor mats, scuff plates, door trim, and even the steering wheel get branded - just enough to remind you this isn’t stock. Then there are the little extras, like hydrophobic mirrors and window visors, the kind of things you don’t think about until they’re there.
Underneath, things get a bit more interesting. Mugen adds Performance Dampers developed with Yamaha. The goal is simple. Better control, less vibration, and a smoother but tighter feel on the road. It builds on a chassis that’s already more aggressive than the standard N-One e:, with a lower stance and wider tracks.
As for power, that stays the same. A single electric motor with 94 hp in Boost Mode. Not huge numbers, but that’s not really the point here. Instead, Honda adds an Active Sound Control system, feeding in simulated gearshifts and engine sounds through the speakers.
Pricing isn’t out yet, since the parts are still being finalized. The launch in Japan is set for late May 2026.
After that, it’s expected to head to the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Asia. And the more you look at it, the more it feels like it would fit perfectly in a one-make racing series.
