Honda launches the Sport Hybrid Coupe
A “clean” vehicle, that is to say: “respectful of the environment” – sleek styling and sporty handling –it’s the brand new Honda CR-Z which has just been presented at the North American International Automobile Show in Detroit. A unique concept that opens the way towards the future.
The advantages of hybrid motorization, the pleasure of driving in addition
The CR-Z, associated with hybrid gasoline/clean electricity motorization, with a manual six-speed transmission and body work styled as coupe 2+2*. A chassis conceived for the pleasure of driving, a highly reactive engine assisted by the Honda IMA technology, this is the first hybrid system in the world featuring six speed manual transmission!
Your desires are orders
Based on a " one movement shape " concept, the style of the CR-Z is athletic and conveys an impression of confidence. The well-known codes of Honda’s design have produced this streamlined coupe, while preserving an outside look of deeply sculpted and wedged shapes. We really like its new three-mode drive system that allows the driver to select between Sport, Econ (Economy) and Normal driving modes—acceleration and direction, auto stop duration, air conditioning and the level of support supplied by the IMA system: it’s up to you to choose if you want to focus on the pleasure of driving, saving on gas or just finding a balance between the two. Is this not truly the quintessence of luxury?
