The production version Mugen CR-Z will use a supercharger and a remapped
ECU to increase power for the 1.5L four cylinder engine to 197 HP and
158 lb-ft of torque, up from the standard 122 HP and 128 lb-ft of
torque. Next to the extra power, customers will also have the
opportunity to choose between a wide range of Mugen accessories,
including stiffer springs and dampers, larger wheels, bigger brakes, and
replacement carbon bonnet and doors.
Maybe it’s a coincidence that Honda has confirmed the production version
Mugen CR-Z at the same time Toyota and Subaru debuted the GT 86 and
BRZ, respectively, or maybe they are developing this model solely for
viable competition. Let us know what you think in the comments section
