Honda CRZ RR by Mugen – Track Ready Hybrid

Honda is working on increasing the popularity of it's CRZ sport hybrid, and what better way than to get Mugen involved? Last 4th of July weekend, Honda surprised everyone at the Goodwood Festival of Speed by unveiling a CRZ concept, the Mugen CRZ RR.

By first looked, the Mugen RR CRZ has a special Mugen body kit, which consists of everything from the front bumper to the rear bumper and side skirts with 18 inch wheels. The car is going to feature a Mugen supercharger that is claimed to bring the CRZ up to 197 horsepower and 181 ft lbs of torque. Good enough for sprints of 6.6 seconds to 60mph.

So far all we've seen is concepts and no real look under the hood. We hope Honda and Mugen can give us a timeline and let us know if this car is going to be available at all, what kind of performance specs we can see out of it, and how much this is going to cost over the standard Honda CRZ. Right now, the aftermarket has taken to the CRZ without the help of Mugen. Companies such as AEM have released a Honda CRZ Cold Air Intake, and Eibach has release Honda CRZ lowering springs. We are excited to see what the aftermarket will bring once there is a supercharged option available that has the backing of Honda.

Exciting times to come for the Honda CRZ!
