Honda’s CR-Z Racer at Le Mans
The 24 Hours of Le Mans race is starting up soon, and Honda has entered its CR-Z Hybrid into the competition.
This CR-Z Racer will not compete during the endurance race. Instead, it will be a part of a display called “Le Mans vers le Futur” (Le Mans towards the future). Honda’s CR-Z Racer will run a few demonstration laps before this historic race begins.
According to the press release: “The CR-Z Racer is a creation of Honda Performance Development, a division of Honda USA. It is a FWD hybrid vehicle powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol/gasoline unit coupled to an electric motor fitted between the engine and the 6-speed manual gearbox. The electric motor is fed juice from a 7 kWh/173 volt lithium-ion battery. Total output is 197 bhp and 175 lb-ft of torque.”
