Honda tuner Mugen Euro and the spread of the first official images of the Mugen Honda CR-Z, the first coupe built on the performance hybrid version of the standard 3-port Japan. There are no official figures but both brands have made it clear that the first road test conducted with a prototype car built on the CR-Z gave performance acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in line with the sister Honda Civic Type R.
The interventions implemented by the technicians have provided not only an increase of 15% of the total power, but also a reduction in frame weight, now about 50 kg lighter, so promising that the responsiveness of the car when driving fast. "The first values on consumption also have been encouraging - said Colin Whittamore Mugen Euro - We have kept the three driving modes for the standard of performance getting interesting." Mugen Honda CR-Z takes a 4-cylinder engine, 1.5-liter i-VTEC flanked by an electric, capable of delivering about 197 hp and 181 Nm of torque.
In other words compared to the hybrid version of the series is 50% more powerful. All this was achieved thanks to a supercharger made by technicians specially Mugen. "The basic idea - Whittamore explained - was to use the torque of the electric motor to boost Honda's traditional engine, aiming at the same time to a final package that would provide a pleasant driving experience.
