Video: Fifth Gear thrashes Honda CR-Z Mugen
Filed under: Aftermarket, Etc., Videos, Hatchback, Honda
When the crew at Mugen finally got around to turning out their take on the Honda CR-Z, we all got pretty excited. With 200 horsepower from the same 1.5-liter IMA engine and motor combination, 100 pounds less weight and a buffet of aftermarket go-fast, stick-hard and brake-harder goodies, the car looked to be what the CR-Z was supposed to offer from the get-go.

Hit the jump to check out a video of Fifth Gear's impressions for yourself.Continue reading Fifth Gear thrashes Honda CR-Z Mugen
