Mugen, Honda's tuning partner, has come up with several concepts of a faster CR-Z over the years. This is the production model that will soon go on sale in Japan exclusively.
The Honda CR-Z RZ boasts a modified version of the IMA hybrid powerplant. With the help of a supercharger, the 1.5L i-VTEC engine now generates 154 hp (and 136 lb-ft of torque). The electric motor supplies an extra 20 hp.
Performance figures have yet to be made official, but the concept sprinted from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, or 3 seconds faster than the standard CR-Z.
Only 300 units will be built and sold by Mugen starting November 26th. Prices will be announced closer to launch.
