The <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span> is the <span style="font-weight: bold;">sporty evolution</span> of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda CR-Z</span>, prepared by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Japanese Mugen Motorsports</span>, officially associated with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda</span>. Honda has teamed up with Mugen again for a new hotrod special - but this one's a <span style="font-weight: bold;">hybrid</span>. The new <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars</span> CR-Z Mugen Concept is a slightly more ecologically sound proposition than the banzai 2009 Civic Type R Mugen, and brings the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> race car</span> treatment to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda's hybrid coupe</span>.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623711493073285234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb8h_johwiOtlUJ0P7GsO9m6lMwzp2wwRpaj5o8zL2CW9QIioMpwvM6tQ3zQlBBe6ul4SG3M-2yb3upE297wz1jUGS-Qb3KP8w4w9-80v1cGS6onZg4emFrbRcWAjPqaCOkpWdIqNNmNg/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-5.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>As the first available <span style="font-weight: bold;">sport hybrid</span>, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">CR-Z</span> demonstrates new opportunities for vehicle personalization among the import tuner community. Several significant vehicles are being unveiled at the show, including a 2011 CR-Z equipped with MUGEN* accessories, the Honda Performance Development, Inc. (HPD) <span style="font-weight: bold;">CR-Z Hybrid R Concept</span>, the HPD <span style="font-weight: bold;">CR-Z Racer</span> and several vehicles equipped with Honda Genuine Accessories.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623712170612815010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5NyJlgjqysxlt0BZ6ztVUlEzZiIBndpEkOkBP_ZkKKh-Hzy1J23uQTNtkV09I93IMdw7gOtMBuHE2m1yeLWe85Sfvz2yPbYND1DahqvhH6QTO_6_iHPnG3aCEuTbxiUk4Pb2IX4w6HI/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-9.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>Also unveiled today were two <span style="font-weight: bold;">concept</span> vehicles from HPD: the CR-Z Hybrid R Concept and the HPD CR-Z Racer. Though neither vehicle is intended for sale, HPD, Honda’s North American <span style="font-weight: bold;">racing</span> company, was determined to demonstrate the potential of the CR-Z for both street and racing performance. Both vehicles share many performance enhancements, with the CR-Z Hybrid R Concept highlighting <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda-design</span>ed street styling and the HPD CR-Z Racer opting for serious racing capability. To demonstrate that capability, HPD will campaign two HPD CR-Z Racers at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race in December. HPD enhancements to both cars include: a turbocharger and upgraded IMA™ <span style="font-weight: bold;">hybrid system</span>, resulting in an estimated combined 200 horsepower and 175 lb-ft. of torque; performance clutch; limited-slip differential; ‘circuit-tuned’ suspension; upgraded brakes and aerodynamic components.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623712166018247218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVx61evyBDXpcPvHGYfK3QC1PdIFcdgkuJd_DGsG_ueKYG1kbAubW8Z4ttYeWaIxWhz-unUzTRZ24aCLyklMAj6GfVpvwHXA3nQkBvNqb8RdpsGZVuHGsT-ldss_uuiyr9XITZh_Lt2Qo/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-6.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>Two vehicles were on display to demonstrate currently available Honda Genuine Accessories. For the CR-Z, Honda displayed a vehicle equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels; side, front lip and tailgate spoilers; a rear diffuser; an illuminated door-sill trim and an interior armrest. Additionally, a 2010 Accord Coupe equipped with dealer-installed Honda Factory Performance™ (HFP™) components melded a distinctive, custom appearance with an enhanced level of handling performance. All Honda Genuine Accessories offer the same 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty as the rest of the vehicle, when installed at the time of new vehicle purchase, and are engineered to be fully compatible with each <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda vehicle</span>.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623712167846686386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkN6dNTKZd8VwnllNds87n4voO4PsiHwbp3BP2ytKcYBQ80zsv5gNnRVAIEnBAoLH0ykCqBD2Ev3FyiEbrZO6H5T9SsnPGKGGDpHCLy5I-UwYuv4fvUG0rpyOP0MrFN0uszatwUa4HU9s/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-7.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>Mugen Euro has developed a highly-tuned version of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid</span> Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept that aims to deliver up to 200PS and 215Nm of torque by boosting the hybrid's petrol-electric powertrain. The goal of the project was to prove hybrid cars can be exciting to drive, by producing "Civic Type R-like" performance from the hybrid coupe while remaining sympathetic to the original Honda direction for the CR-Z. Torque 2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept provide 50 percent greater power and use electric as the fuel. Obviously this is a good concept for a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda hybrid sport</span>.

For that reason, we’ve kept the three driving modes, so the driver can select “eco” or “normal” to switch to economy and low emissions for daily driving, but press the Mugen button for the full-blown weekend-warrior settings”.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623711478319591650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWiej85hBd_GBxBhMFfgHu-L_FIJadYWyfXTaJdt4iqpvyhda3iRZD4N0W6kxfzDq742wwXphV_SXX4Byjf53LwpS5XUu4svye7HiRnf46mytlh0pbgfmMlbhNQsPYtL6yi49iHkhXR1g/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-3.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>In addition, Mugen’s engineers also widened the car’s front and rear tracks and fitted stiffer 5-step adjustable dampers and a limited slip differential to maximize traction. The Honda CR-Z Mugen stops courtesy of larger brake discs and 4-pot calipers. 2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept comes with sporty interior, there are Recaro sports seats, a different gear knob and a carbon rear view mirror cover, but your attention will be instantly drawn by the addition of three gauges that display water and oil temperature and pressure.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623711481293964130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzvoTvQshjuFFUpm-NDpmCwyhXe4Ew98HnvQZhdrqeuXPBiFDP-POnopwhLXnlBql7mAbfrB7oA1UKRoxVndrNgAHqToPE6bhhDPSAy_MLM5NuPiHgOltqtcIDyAc7uP4Ss_7BAikLCfA/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-2.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>Among factors that features the sportiveness stands out the lowered bumper, a large roof spoiler and the carbon-fiber bonnet which, according to Honda, is an important technical detail.
