Default Mugen CRZ

This looks very interesting! Great stuff. Adjustable coilovers and monbolock calipers

I'm sure someone on here can shed more light too? (Unlimited Power)

Interested to see the price though, as the current top spec one is on the tasty side imo...

Looks very interesting.

Some subtle hints in relation to FI were dropped at the Mugen Factory visit so this does not come as a surprise. Cant wait to see the finished article.

I've known about this for quite some time, but was sworn to secrecy

There are other much more interesting (IMO) annoucements that I'm waiting for

Suddenly I'm no longer bored shitless by the CR-Z.

Any proper technical details available anywhere, or is it still too secret?

I really think it's a clever idea of Honda to get Mugen to develop all the difficult stuff for them.

If it costs less than £30k I'll be surprised. Mugen stuff is just too expensive. It's only a farking Honda for crying out loud. [ducks]

It sounds great but going on past Mugen models it'll be overpriced. And therefore just be for the Jap fanboys or people with too much money to burn.

Considering the competition it'll have to be priced less than £25k to compete. And considering how great the Clio 200 is, I'd say under £20k is needed.

Car should be good fun. The stock CRZ is good fun according to my bro who took one out, he has a mk1 insight which is an interesting car for an engineer. No compromises.

I reckon that torque figure and the electric motor helping would make it very punchy...
