Honda CR-Z

[rvm]

I think is the new "CRX".

I'm sure japanese tuners will install a K20A engine to this chassis hehehe.

What do you guys think?

The CR-Z is powered by a 1.5 L (92 cu in) i-VTEC inline-4 engine with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid-electric system. A six-speed manual transmission is standard equipment and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available. The system delivers a combined peak output of 122 bhp (91 kW) at 6000 rpm and 128 lb·ft (174 N·m) at 1000 to 1500 rpm (123 lb·ft (167 N·m) on CVT-equipped models).

Those dials are straight out of Star Trek! I wonder how heavy it is.

there will be a type-r version of this car but rumours are it will NOT have a k20 in it .

mugen have already started work on their own version of it :

 

[EK9dan]

not a bad looking car. I can imagine the type R version will be very interesting.

What would be the point in a k20 version lol
it's a hybrid that's fun to drive, it's 0-60 is like 7-8 seconds I think and 50 odd mpg.

 

[Tmus]

it doesn't do 50mpg if you drive it like a sports car, infact you have to be stupidly slow and light to do 50mpg.

IMO Hybrids are a big con LOL

Some piccy in mugen battle dress.

 

[zeff]

i guess the question is, would you still tweek it around if you have one?

 

[sc888]

don't think so if i had one of the mugen edtions

 

[JDM 101]

or the Spoon edition

I hate the will though.

I like this crz. what I would do is leave it bone stock for daily use, and track my coupe!
i just may pick one up in white.

 

[typeR.jdm]

i like spoon

0-60 in 7.8 would be acceptable, but I spoke to Honda about the GT model a few weeks ago, couple of carbon bits, but it's 9.9 to 60 and they were still trying to tell me it was 'sporty'.

Of course dropping a K20 in would be the 'sensible' choice, as soon as I saw this at the motor show a few years back I thought S2K engine + running gear... would be awesome then.

 

[tama666]

...is this a sign of things to come, hybrid power?

 

[nikolas-type rs]

iv seen a white one in flesh & i must say it looked quite stylish to me.
I would buy one if i had the spare cash

I'm sure japanese tuners will install a K20A engine to this chassis hehehe.

Not if the American tuners beat them to it. Hasport already has one and they are working on it.

Lol But I can't help wondering wether the CR-Z chassis is worth it or wether this is done just because they can.

they have developed a supercharger for the cr-z and after tune it is at abt 220bhp thats a shitton for a hybrid and bisimoto has a crz that is at 533hp vid below
