Honda CR-Z Mugen RR production hopes dashed
If it's too early to start drinking, crack open a cold one anyway. You're gonna need a beer to cry into. Top Gear reports that Honda has no plans to produce the CR-Z Mugen RR Hybrid Concept. Zero. None. While we saw this coming a mile off, some deeply-oppressed optimistic shard of our psyche clung to the hope that Honda would awaken from its performance coma. Alas, no. The world will be denied the CR-Z it deserves.
We probably don't need to remind you that the CR-Z Mugen RR Hybrid Concept makes heavy use of carbon fibre. The doors, hood and front fenders are all formed from the lightweight material, as is a complete underbody tray. With 197 horsepower on tap, the concept clicks off a 0-60 dash in 6.6 seconds, and if you're restrained enough to run it in Eco mode, it can return somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.7 L/100 km.

this has been scraped since mid summer, Honda took the 5 away from them at they built. Top gear was going to test it out, but by the time they made it they were gone already. gas powered crz is in the works still tho..
