MUGEN RZ - Japan-only, limited-to-300 units Supercharged CR-Z

2013 Honda MUGEN RZ

Remember the Mugen Honda CR-Z concept last year? Yes I know, it really was the supercharged version of the CR-Z sport hybrid we really dream of having one but with the arrival of the 2013 Honda CR-Z, that concept became a reality because MUGEN, Honda's sports subsidiary, launched the MUGEN RZ, which really is the supercharged version of the 2013 Honda CR-Z.

What to expect on this spiced-up version of the sport hybrid? For starters, the MUGEN RZ is fully armed with a modified suspension for added grip, hence the height was lowered and rigged with 17-inch lightweight rims. Also, thanks to its superchager, it now produces from the normal 91kW (122hp) to around 130kW (174hp).

Sadly though, it's limited to 300 units and available only in Japan. That's it. Prices start at about 4,494,000 Yen.
