New Honda CR-Z Hybrid Sports Coupe Concept: First Official Photos Revealed

Honda will be introduce their gasoline-electric hybrid CR-Z Concept (replacement of the legendary CR-X) at next month�s Tokyo Motor Show. Only a few changes will be made to the production model that is scheduled to be launched in Japan in February 2010 and the rest of the world.

At a first glance, the so-called �CR-Z Concept 2010� doesn�t seem to be that different from the unique CR-Z concept car that was displayed at the 2007 Tokyo show. But earlier look reveals that Honda�s designers thoroughly reworked the sport coupe�s front and rear ends as well as the profile.

Not surprisingly, the pre-production CR-Z�s interior has nothing in everyday with the 2007 concept sculpt, but lacking the sportier border, the dash�s styling does fetch to beware the Insight.

There�s no information on the CR-Z�s hybrid engine, but recent reports evoke that power will comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine outfitted with Honda�s Integrated Motor Assist technology. Connected to a six-speed manual transmission, the engine should allow the CR-Z to be entertaining and efficient.
