Honda CR-Z Concept Unveiled in Tokyo |
| Source: Honda | Published: October 11, 2007 |
The Honda CR-Z Concept will make its world premiere at the 40th Tokyo Motor
Show later this month.
The Honda CR-Z is a lightweight, two-seater sportscar equipped with Honda’s
petrol-electric hybrid IMA powertrain.
Following in the tire prints of the Honda Remix Concept (seen at LA Show last
year), and the Small Hybrid Sports Concept (debuted at Geneva in March), the
CR-Z Concept explores the potential of a compact, lightweight sportscar that’s
exciting to drive, but has minimal impact on the environment.
The CR-Z features the latest Honda hybrid IMA powertrain to deliver low
emissions and impressive economy.
The front of the car sits low, and is dominated by an imposing, large bumper
with gaping air intakes. Meanwhile, the smooth lines across the glass roof and
rear of the car minimize drag.
Tube shaped combination lamps at the rear improve rearward visibility, and other
design details include stylish, high-visibility wing mirrors, LED headlights,
fin-shaped sidelights and large 19-inch wheels to enhance the sporting
appearance.
Inside, the aim was to give the concept car a light, spacious and sophisticated
feel. The CR-Z’s hi-tech interior features a blue, neon-like finish across the
main dash and centre console. Mesh material on a simple framework is used
throughout, with sporty seats to help support the driver during cornering.
According to the Japanese design team, CR-Z stands for Compact Renaissance -
Zero.
