Mugen CR-Z

Honda’s world famous tuner and tuning arm Mugen has unveiled their brand new Honda CR-Z Mugen RZ. It was based on the Honda CR-Z hybrid model. It claimed that the tuned up version gets an upgraded suspension system, brake system, wheels, exterior parts designed considering aerodynamics and a centrifugal supercharger.

MUGEN will install the parts on their own on the CR-Z (6-speed manual) provided by Honda and start to sell 300 complete cars.

So what is exactly going on here? Basically, Mugen tuned up the 1.5 liter i-VTEC engine to the point where it can produce 154-hp and a maximum torque of 136 lb-ft. The 20-hp electric-motor allows for a combined output of 174-hp and a 0 to 62 mph time of 6.1 seconds.
