Announced at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vega, Honda Performance Development (HPD) announced street-legal parts, starting with tuning kits for the hybrid-powered Honda CR-Z.
If you think this is about stickers and sunroofs, we'll just tell you right off the bat the they've created a supercharger for the 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that increases power to 188 hp and 232 Nm of torque, which will be available in March 2014.
The tricked out CR-Z has also been fitted with air-to-air intercooler, a sports exhaust, sports suspension, unique wheels and uprated sports brakes. Better wheels and tires, a subtle body kit and lots of stickers and window tint make this a hybrid you actually want to own.
American Honda executive vice president auto sales John Mendel said HPD and a steady growth in power for standard models shows Honda's commitment to fun.
