The CR-Z is set to receive an all-new turbocharged 1.6-litre powerplant that is currently undergoing development at Honda’s Tochigi R&D center.
The new engine, which is also planned for the Jazz, Civic and Accord, forms an integral part of a downsizing program instigated at Honda. With forced induction and Honda’s patented VTEC-i fully variable camshaft timing system, it is aimed at providing the performance of a typical 2.0-litre engine from a capacity of just 1.6 litres.
Sources in Japan say the new engine is likely to come in two guises: a standard 160bhp model and a highly tuned 200bhp version aimed at matching the now defunct 2.0-litre VTEC engine in the Civic Type R. This more potent spec is likely to form the basis of a CR-Z Type R, tentatively due out late next year.
Would not mind these styling too.

I wont say that it looks good, but its alot better than when it started. Will only be interested if they ditch the heavy and pointless hybrid system.
Currently #4 in Ecotec Forced Induction horsepower ratings. 505.8 WHP 414WTQ!!!
Currently 3rd quickest Ecotec on the .org - 10.949 @ 131.50 MPH!!!
I was excited for it while reading..... but then I saw pictures. That red car is hideous minus the wheels. Both cars would look 100x better without the wings.
Even with the big wing, I like it.

I like the silver one, not the red one, that wing on the red one just looks too ricer

Wings can be removed, I must say it does remind me of the old CRX and I could see potential. I wouldn't drive it but not a bad design for that type of car. I don't mind seeing the hybrid setup, it's just a matter of time until this will be a forced option to mod anyways.
These things just bug me but I see them having potential.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

The grey one is the 2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen....

Heads up, CR-Z fans: Honda has announced that the company will be releasing a mere 300 Mugen accessory kits for the Japanese sport hybrid. The ultra-rare bodywork includes bits like a completely revised front fascia with an altered grille design, a massive rear spoiler and flashy 17-inch rollers. Under the hood things stay nearly completely stock, though Honda has swapped the blasé plastic oil filler cap with a billet aluminum piece. Astounding, we know.
But all of that pales in comparison to the interior work. Along with a new shift knob, Honda has installed "sport mats." We aren't entirely sure what makes a floor mat sporty, but we'll take their word for it.
The body kits will be available in all five CR-Z colors. So far, there's no word on how much the kits will cost, but we can't imagine they'll go cheap. Hit the jump for the full press blast.

The rear is god aweful! I think the black panel between the tails is tinted but transparent.
Thanks MD for clarifying the grey one was a Mugen design CR-Z for SEMA, I thought I put that in already, looks like I didn't. But like I stated:
"Would not mind these styling too" hoping that the Turbo would look like that.

put the wheels off the red one on the mugen and it'd be a lot better.

"A matter of time" has passed in November when Bisi made 545bhp with the CRZ, while still remaining a hybrid.

I'm talking about for the average tuner.
