Honda CR-V Hybrid Racer to feature 800 horsepower!

Apparently there’s going to be a 800 horsepower hybrid Honda CR-V race car unveiled soon, according to this teaser video released by Honda. It’s the work of the North American team.

It’s not really based on a CR-V – the exterior bodywork is just designed to look like one. It appears to be built from a tube frame chassis, common for these bespoke race cars.

Honda is not new to performance hybrid systems. It installed one in the production second generation NSX, powered by a 3.5 litre twin turbo V6 mated to three motors – two at the front and one at the rear.

      why do you think car makers make F1 cars? F1 cars also cannot sell. Why waste money “syiok sendiri” according to you? Please learn more about how marketing works ok. Bodo jangan tunjuk sangat.

    We are all living the dream!
    When I was little, I played with RC cars.
    Now grown up, I can play with full-sized RC cars again!

    And what’s so special about a purpose-built race car with 800hp?

        Porsche 907 Can-Am had 1500hp in 1970. So it does mean that 50 years later Honda has a bit more than half of that?
