Anyone who’s driven the Honda CR-Z hybrid knows that it needs a lot more power to earn its “sport hybrid” title. While we wait for Honda to release the next CR-Z, which will hopefully have more grunt under the hood. Honda Performance Development, Honda’s racing arm will now be offering a new range of HPD Street Performance products for Honda’s lineup, starting with the Honda CR-Z.
The 187-hp 2014 HPD Supercharged CR-Z features a variety of track-proven, street-reliable performance upgrades. HPD-developed powertrain modifications include a centrifugal supercharger, HPD air-to-air intercooler, high-flow fuel injectors, an ECU calibrated to meet CART AT-PZEV regulations with 91 octane fuel, HPD air filter system and HPD sport exhaust. Chassis improvements include HPD sport dampers, coil springs with reduced ride height, 300mm diameter disc brakes and HPD 18-inch wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The CR-Z is completed by a graphics package including front lip and tail spoilers, rear diffuser and HPD badge.
