15 Jul 2009|5,727 views
Honda has confirmed production of their CR-Z sports car, which many regard as the spiritual successor to the CR-X of the 1980s and early 1990s.
The new car, which was shown in concept form in 2007, will be hybrid powered with the same Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system found in the Insight and Civic, which incorporates a 13bhp electric motor and a compact Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) - recapturing and storing kinetic energy from vehicle braking and deceleration and supplying additional power for acceleration when needed.
The CR-Z will be shown in production form at this October's Tokyo Motor Show, and is expected to feature a 140bhp petrol engine mated to the IMA electric system. Sales will start in Japan from February 2010.
Honda has also announced that the Fit/Jazz city car will go hybrid as well by the end of 2010, thereby enhancing its line-up of compact hybrid models and helping it become one of the 'greenest' automakers in the world.
