The Honda CR-Z (Compact Renaissance Zero) was unveiled
at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda CR-Z is a research
vehicle for an environmentally friendly, lightweight hybrid
sports car.
The CR-Z was designed to be, as Honda put it, "Futuristic
and Dynamic," combining performance in a compact
layout with futuristic styling.
The exterior design of the Honda CR-Z begins with a large
central grill flanked by chiseled LED headlights. Minuscule
door mirrors double as side indicators. Then, starting
off from the rear of the front arches, a style line rises
up, running high over the rear arches and joining into
the taillights. The taillights then blend into the lower
rear window panel. This double rear window layout is similar
to the design of the rear end of the 1980's CR-X, and
when the name is taken into consideration it's not hard
to deduce that the CR-Z is the spiritual successor to
the CR-X.
The interior of the Honda CR-Z concept is stylish and
airy. The goal of Honda's designers was to create an all-new
sporty interior that fused the feeling of spaciousness
with a layout that enhances driving. A mesh material laid
over a simple framework is used throughout the interior
to convey a light, sophisticated image without being oppressive.
On the 13th July 2009 Honda confirmed that the CR-Z would
enter production as a 2010 model equipped with a hybrid
drivetrain.
