Honda UK Confirms Production of Supercharged CR-Z iCF by MUGEN with 173HP and 0-62mph in 6.1

Honda-cr-z-icf-01
As we rightfully suspected when Honda revealed the Mugen CR-Z RR Study at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011 earlier in the summer, the Japanese carmaker confirmed a production version of its hotted-up hybrid sport hatch that will go on sale in Britain next spring.

And for those of you wondering, unfortunately, Honda has no plans to offer the car in other markets – at least for the time being.

The production model is named CR-Z iCF and it has been developed in partnership with Mugen's European arm. At the heart of the car lies a modified version of the CR-Z's 1.5-liter hybrid powertrain that gains a supercharger, a new induction system and a reprogrammed ECU.

As a result of these upgrades, the CR-Z iCF has almost 50 per cent more power than the standard car at 175PS (equal to 173HP and 177bhp) and can sprint from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in just 6.1 seconds or 3 seconds quicker than the regular 124PS CR-Z.

In addition to the power boost, Mugen will also retune the chassis and modify the appearance of the CR-Z inside and out.

Martin Moll, Head of Honda UK's marketing division commented: "MUGEN Euro magic has created a super responsive yet eco-conscious model building on our sporting credentials and giving us the ability to compete in the "hot hatch" marketplace as we move into 2012."

Honda said that it is still working on the pricing but it expects the CR-Z iCF to start from around £24,000 (approx. US$37,300 or €27,990). More details are to be released closer to the launch date.

Paragon Honda - (5) Star Review on YahooLocal

  • I had a great experience with the team at Paragon Honda. I even got to meet Brian, the Owner? he seemed important, but was super friendly and had just run the marathon. I love my new C-RV and even though I have somewhat sketchy credit due to these last few years, the team didn't treat me like some other dealerships did and the finance manager spent a long time working with me to find the right bank! Thanks team Paragon! -Kat

  • Bought Honda civic recently. Went from New Jersey to buy this car. Car is clean as shown and described. Priced lowest of all dealers of this kind. Good inventory and you would not disappoint going to this place. Sultan (sales rep) was really caring for customer issues and very helpful. Joe Carusone is very understanding and friendly to deal with the customer issues. Thanks Sultan and Joe to make my purchase a memorable one. I will recommend going to this place. -venkat999
  • We just purchased a used Honda CR-V and had an excellent experience. Juan, Rafael and David were all very friendly, knowledgeable and professional and worked hard to get us a vehicle that we liked and to get us a good trade-in value. Plus the pricing and inventory is superb. We would recommend this dealership to friends. -Happycustomer*123
