Honda to dish up CR-V hybrid with 800hp
By CARSIFU | 20 February 2023LOS ANGELES: A Honda CR-V with 800hp? It's unimaginable — until now.
The creative minds of the engineers at Honda Performance Development (HPD) and Auto Development Center (ADC), and designers from North America Auto Design Division of American Honda have built the ultimate high-performance beast – the Honda CR-V Hybrid Racer project vehicle – a track monster with some 800 electrified horsepower.
The car is a radical departure from the road car, sporting a extremely lightened widebody through the generous use of carbon fibre. The front doors open butterfly-style, while the rear doors don't open but is fused with the rear half-section to lift up as a one-piece structure as shown in one of the pictures below.
The CR-V Hybrid Racer will be revealed on Feb 28.
HPD is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and leads all of Honda and Acura's high-performance racing programs in North America.
It specialises in the design and development of powertrains, chassis, electronics, performance parts, technical support, and race support.
It has a long history of creating, manufacturing, and supporting Honda Racing and Acura Motorsports customers since 1993.
