The rumors that we hear from blogs and other internet sources such as forums can be pretty ridiculous. They get our hopes up, they stir up fear in our hearts, and rarely do stereotypical internet rumors make their way to reality. Take for example the rumors about Facebook making its users pay to use the site-- insane, no?
Anyway, if you like the tabloid-esque rumors of the world-wide web and you're a car fan, then you'll certainly enjoy this new one.
It is rumored that Honda will be producing a CR-Z Type-R with a total of 200 horsepower being produced from a 1.5 liter 150 horsepower gasoline engine and an upgraded 50 horsepower electric motor. According to TopSpeed.com's article (http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/honda-cr-z-type-r-coming-in-2011-ar85219.html) the car will be capable of 0-60 in an amazingly fast six seconds!!! Impressive for a little hybrid, no?
The car is being produced by Mugen Euro, so whether or not the hybrid beast will reach the states is a mystery to me. Atleast the car will be unveiled soon at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2011 reaching production in 2012, expectedly. (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/17/rumormill-honda-cr-z-type-r-in-the-works/)
Let's see what Honda's got up their sleeves.
