The words "Hybrid" and "Performance" don't sound good together to me.

“It’s true: we are working on a more powerful CR-Z,” he said. “Our problem with the car as it stands is that it looks very good, but it doesn’t have the performance some customers expect.” Here is the bit that kills the whole story.... The problem for the CR-Z’s performance will be Honda’s efficiency targets. “It will not be acceptable for the new car to be less fuel efficient than the current one,” Kawanabe said. “The CR-Z must deliver low CO2 emissions, as well as be fun to drive.”

Perhaps. However, Honda has traditionally been reluctant to use direct injection.

Re: Honda R&D confirms working on high-performance CR-Z
More power, and more mpg, without sticker is difficult, but not impossible : that is why it is interesting.;)

I don't like overcomplicated drivetrain setups. It doesn't make good power, nor does it get that great of gas mileage. So its a failure in my book.

It was a old beat to heck NA miata. The crz with a ton of mods and about a 400lb weight reduction was faster than the miata on the straits but every time it got into the turns with its higher weight and crappy suspension design, the miata just drove away from it....and don't forget to tell everyone what happened to the other factory crz in the race...it skidded off the road and rolled over in a ditch. They did get it on the road again after a bunch hours it was in way back in class. I just thought it was funny that honda was allowed to do all kinds of changes to the crz( such as changing the way the hybred system worked) and it still got beat by a 15+ year old miata. |

Honda Racing F1 Team was a Formula One (F1) team run by Japanese car manufacturer Honda, from 1964 to 1968 and from 2006 to 2008. Honda's involvement in F1 began with the 1964 season; their withdrawal in 1968 was precipitated by the death of Honda driver Jo Schlesser during the 1968 French Grand Prix.[1] They returned in 1983 as an engine supplier, a role that ended in 1992. They returned again in 2000, providing engines for British American Racing (BAR), and by the end of 2005 BAR had been bought out and Honda Racing was re-established. It was announced on December 5, 2008 that Honda would be exiting Formula One with immediate effect due to the current economic crisis and were looking to sell the team.[2] On February 27, 2009 it was announced that the team had been secured with a management buy-out led by team principal Ross Brawn,[3] and raced successfully as Brawn GP in 2009 before being bought by Mercedes and renamed Mercedes GP for the 2010 season. |
