The “CR-V Hybrid Racer” starts with a custom tube chassis featuring an Acura NSX GT-3 Evo22 front suspension and Dallara IR-18 IndyCar rear suspension. Braking is handled by Brembo 380 mm front brakes from Acura NSX GT-3 Evo22 and custom Brembo 335 mm rear brakes. The 2Elle Engineering wheels (20×10.5, 20×11) hold Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires (285\/35-20, 305\/35-20). <\/p>\n

Honda designed and built a custom CR-V body inspired by GT racing and Group B rally cars. It features a sixth-generation CR-V Hybrid body above the beltline. Below that are custom carbon fiber panels. They built the rear clamshell body to show off the amazing powertrain. <\/p>\n

In back of the car is a twin-turbo 2.2 L HI23TT V6 and XTRAC six-speed transaxle. The motor features two BorgWarner EFR7163 turbochargers, Dallara IR-18 IndyCar radiator, McLaren Applied Technologies Tag 400i ECU and runs on Shell 100% renewable race fuel. The hybrid system uses a Empel MGU electric motor and Skeleton super-capacitor energy storage system. <\/p>\n
