I know it's only a Concept ... but it loooks like how the CR-Z should have from the release date !!
Makes buying a hybrid more 'exciting'

SEMA 2010: 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid R is a step in the right direction

Kimotherapy · 3rd November 2010, 11:49

So I spat out my tea when I saw the pics of the 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid 'R' Concept at SEMA 2010.

It's definitely a looker, that's for sure.

Full pics can be seen here : SEMA 2010: 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid R Concept -- Autoblog

Here's a sneaky pic:

I'd be amazed if it retains that level of styling when it goes into production. Still a hybrid...

Kimotherapy · 3rd November 2010, 11:58

A turbocharged hybrid that gives you 200bhp and 175lb/ft......

"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™ hybrid system, 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."

Sounds promising... will wait and see what hits our streets though, and how far away it is.

It is a lot smaller than the Type R though so not sure I could live with it as a daily car, and I can't afford to run a 'fun' car.

Dave.M89 · 3rd November 2010, 12:18

Looks nice. Shame the price will probably be 30k

coste1l · 3rd November 2010, 12:32

nice! not 30k nice but nice all the same

pjf1985 · 3rd November 2010, 13:07

OH....MY....GOD! That is awesome, I'm sold

NeoFlare · 3rd November 2010, 14:18

wont be in production apparently

Barry873 · 3rd November 2010, 15:48

Oh my gawd!!, ''if'' it comes out..it's mine :'D

Typerkid · 3rd November 2010, 19:07

I would love it if this makes production

Honda-Convert · 3rd November 2010, 19:17

Good to see Honda hasnt completely lost the plot then! 200bhp and oodles of torque on tap. Stunning looks to boot! Something very much like this please Honda!

Osarkon · 3rd November 2010, 19:24

I suspect if it makes it into production the styling will be toned down, but that is one good looking car.

utecki · 3rd November 2010, 20:57

yep! seen it the other day: http://www.autoweek.com/article/20101102/SEMA/101109961

unless I can't buy the R version at the dealers, it's just an advert just as the entire SEMA is. But it would be very nice to finally see another really sporty model from Honda on the road and not just "sporty".

anyway I think that this is also what we can expect in the new CTR - turboed gasoline+IMA.

Dimplyred · 3rd November 2010, 21:06

Two threads merged.

It does look very nice indeed.

lippy · 3rd November 2010, 21:55

I Like It !! A lot!! Wonder if it will have made it to production in two years or so - a 'real' sporty hybrid. Just what I want... but not at £30k!!

Josh1987 · 3rd November 2010, 22:00

If it costs less that 22k im sold

also has to be CW altho Red looks amazing

Image a car that is 200bhp when you want it and a hybrid when driving to work

Kimotherapy · 3rd November 2010, 23:46

Well, alot of folks have previously said that the R with a turbo is the way forward, and it looks like it possibly may happen with the CRZ-R. Interesting thought though, will it be enough to compete in the super hot hatch market if it ever makes it into production?

tinkz · 3rd November 2010, 23:48

Not as practical, interior size copared to the CIV

coste1l · 3rd November 2010, 23:59

unless the price puts it in super hot hatch territory surely its too small and would be more in clio and fiesta territory?
