#Mugen

Honda will be bringing a wide collection of vehicles to the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon.

Mugen may not inspire enthusiasts like it used to in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it’s still Honda’s turning arm; and a good one at that.

Honda’s Fit-based crossover, the Vezel, has just gone on sale in Japan and now the automaker is showcasing aftermarket potential at the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon.

Honda has released a preview of customized vehicles heading to this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, including a wild Mugen-tuned version of its new Fit-based crossover.

Now that the 2015 Fit has officially debuted Japan, it was only a matter of time before Honda introduced its Mugen line of accessories for the sub-compact.

Like the 2012 SEMA Show in America, the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon was packed with Toyota and Subaru’s latest sports car. But that’s not to say that there weren’t plenty of other attractions on the Makuhari Messe Convention Center show floor. 

Though America will never see the likes of the Honda N-One, automotive enthusiasts got a look at what the Japanese automaker’s newest addition to its kei car lineup can look like with some modifications.

Honda and Mugen are heading to next year’s Tokyo Auto Salon with a full arsenal of customized vehicles, including a new Mugen CR-V design study and an S2000 Modulo Climax concept.

Last month, Mugen teased us with its upcoming  Honda CR-Z RZ model that will be limited to just 300 vehicles. Now, the Japanese tuner has pulled the covers off its latest CR-Z offering, showing off a supercharged powerplant with 156-hp and 136 lb-ft of torque.

Mugen has teased its new Honda CR-Z RZ model, which will make its official debut later this month according to the Honda-tuner’s website.

With Honda having just announced details of its new CR-Z racing program in partnership with Mugen, video of the car’s first shakedown test has gone public.

Earlier this year, Honda announced it would enter a CR-Z race car to compete in Japan’s Super GT Series, and now the hybrid is set to make its race debut at the upcoming Round 4 Sugo GT on July 28-29, 2012.

It appears as though Honda won’t let Toyota hog the spotlight in the GT300 class of the Super GT racing series.

With the launch of the CR-Z, Honda wanted to emphasize that hybrids can in fact be sporty, now the automaker is continuing to promote the idea in its home market with the Honda Sports & Eco Program.

Even though it was originally reported that Mugen’s supercharged Honda CR-Z would never see production, it looks like Toyota‘s introduction of the GT 86 and Subaru‘s BRZ might have changed Honda’s mind just a little bit. Mugen Euro and Honda confirmed that their supercharged 197-hp CR-Z will see the light of day with an estimated base price of around $35,650 (£23,000) based on today’s conversion rates.
