Honda CR-Z to Get Type R Version

What if halo cars for hybrid ranges were racing versions with that don’t simply focus on fuel consumption above all else. Well, before Honda dreamed of it as a hybrid, they primarily wanted it to perform the function of a fun and exciting coupe that also offered decent milage, so it should not surprise you that much that they want to spice things up even more.

According to Temple of Vtec, the Japanese manufacturer is readying a performance version of the CR-Z, and it’s already being developed. At last year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Honda even brought over the CR-Z Hybrid R concept, which produced 200 hp thanks to a turbocharger that had been slapped onto the 1.5-liter.

However, a supercharged version like the one that debuted this year at SEMA is the more likely powertrain.
