Word has recently gotten out that Honda may be prepping to launch 2 new hybrid powered sportscars sometime soon. Of course, it still stands at a rumor at this point.
Anyways, the above pictured vehicle is a CR-Z coupe which has some concrete evidence to supports its existence. AutoBlogGreen says it could possibly feature a 4 cylinder 2.5-liter engine with direct injection.
The second car’s details, however, are a bit sketchy; rumor has it the car may be a follow up to the now defunct S2000 codenamed the FF-S2000. This car is said to have a 6 cylinder 3.5-liter engine and a KERS system to aid the car’s hybrid powertrain. For those who don’t know, KERS stands for kinetic energy recovery system which you can read about here.
This would all be great news if it were confirmed, a step in the right direction to show people you can be environmentally friendly without sacrificing power. But unfortunately, like I said before, it’s still just a rumor at this point.
