If you have ever driven a Honda CR-Z you will know that it is in fact a very good little car, light, nimble and agile through the twisty stuff, and frugal thanks to its hybrid system. But it sure does lack power. Well all you Honda aficionados can sort of stop dreaming of a Type-R version because there is something quite interesting hitting dealers at the end of the month in Japan. The Mugen RZ. The supercharged version of the CR-Z that Mugen teased us with at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon in January is finally becoming a reality and it follows on from the mighty Civic “double-R” of five years ago. With a rumored 180 PS form its supercharged engine it should finally turn the CR-Z into the car it should have been from the get go. We can’t wait to get behind the wheel of this little beast…
