Filed under: Hybrid, Honda, Japan, Racing
Honda has announced that it's working with M-TEC and Team Mugen on a CR-Z GT that will campaign in the GT300 category of Japan's Super GT championship. The racing hybrid uses a 2.8-liter, twin turbo V6 paired with a specially developed hybrid system, and it will enter its first race at this month's SUGO GT round on July 28-29.
The CR-Z GT will race in the same class as the Subaru BRZ GT300 and Toyota Prius GT300. That latter car also uses a specially designed hybrid system with a larger battery from the Prius Alpha and a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6.
The Honda CR-Z GT was recently tested at Twin Ring Motegi, scroll down to watch the video and check out the official press release.Continue reading Honda and Mugen develop widebody twin-turbo V6 CR-Z for racing [w/video]
