MUGEN EURO in high-performance Honda Type CR-Z

Honda may call its 2011 CR-Z a "sport hybrid," but ever since our first time behind the wheel, we've felt more than a little disappointed. It's an enjoyable enough steer, but remains in dire need of some more oomph, and even with the automaker's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system on board, the resulting fuel economy isn't as great as one might expect for a car of its size and utility. Mugen even says that these changes could result in improved fuel economy, though no official statistics have been divulged as of this writing.
