2011 Honda CR-Z by Mugen, Mugen has come around with a new version of the Honda CR-Z, promising to transform the vehicle into a “hot hatch hybrid.” His most recent package comes with a compressor that takes the ZRC murderer to a higher level of performance, and possibly better fuel economy too.

The
2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen will still come with its standard 1.5L four cylinder engine, but will get the boost in power from a new supercharger. Standard outputs for the CRZ come in at 113 HP and 107 lb-ft of torque for just the engine, while adding the standard hybrid package will get those outputs up to 122 HP and 128 lb-ft of torque. Mugen has taken their upgrade a step further by developing their own electronic package that, together with the supercharged engine, will deliver a total of 197 HP and 181 lb-ft of torque. Just like there’s no sex in the champagne room, there’s no slacking over at Mugen’s place either.

Mugen takes their package a step further by adding induction and exhaust upgrades that they hope will improve the hatch’s current stats of 38mpg and 117g/km CO2. They have also added front and rear five-stage adjustable dampers, bigger brakes, and lightweight 17in forged Mugen GP alloys. Aesthetically, the CRZ will get Mugen-spec front and rear bumpers, a large rear wing, and side skirts. The company has also promised a “large reduction in overall weight.” The
2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen will make its first grand appearance at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.
