GT5 Transcripts/Honda CR-Z α '10

The world's first hybrid sports car, the CR-Z is a car that carries on the image of the CR-X, the world most famous sports car of the past. Its silhouette traces that of the CR-X with update details, proving that even after 20 years, the styling of the CR-X is still attractive. 
The minimalistic body size is more than enough to bring to mind sporty performance. The rear seats of this 2+2 is truly minimal at best, but even without folding the seats it has adequate luggage space. This is in line with the original CR-X. 
In terms of mechanism, though the base model is the Insight, the concept is definitely a sports car. What differs the most is the rigidity of the body, which was greatly improved in order to establish its handling. The suspension is shared with the Insight but the setting are completely different, and it is given a sharp, sporty feel. 
The power train is also based on the Insight. Changing the engine to a 1.5L i-VTEC, the power has been raised from 87 HP to 110 HP. Tee electrical motor is almost the same, with a 14 HP motor. The transmission is available in a 7 speed sequential CVT, or a newly developed 6 speed MT. This is a unique combination, allowing the driver to enjoy the newest hybrid in a manual transmission. Honda's hybrid system, the IMA is also shared with the Insight. The driver does not have to keep anything special in mind to receive the benefits of this Hybrid system, and it has a great effect in mid range acceleration.
