Honda has officially unveiled the one-of-a-kind CR-V Hybrid Racer. As the David Salters, president and technical director for Honda Performance Development (HPD), said, “This project vehicle is an INDYCAR ‘beast’ in Honda CR-V ‘sheep’s clothing’.”.
Basically, the HPD only used some body panels of the current CR-V, but under the skin is a racing machine.
The car comes with a V6 2.2 liter engine, a special supercapacitor and an MGU unit. In total, the hybrid system delivers 800 horsepower.
The engine resources are sent to the ground via a six-speed Xtras transmission.
According to Honda, this CR-V Hybrid Racer will serve as a rolling lab and will be showcased during some selected IndyCar events in 2023.
