Honda CR-Z Goes Up On Two Wheels [Video]

If you think it’s not possible to have fun in a hybrid, then you need to take a good look at this Gymkhana-prepped Honda CR-Z out in Japan. It looks like this CR-Z was out competing at a Gymkhana event when its really stiff suspension was put to the ultimate test.

From what we can observe from the decals on the CR-Z, it’s obviously running on Dunlop Direzza rubber wrapping a set of lightweight Ray’s wheels and has plenty of support from some of Japan’s finest manufacturers including 5Zigen, Blitz, Cusco and Kansai service. Whatever modifications it has done to it, we’re willing to bet it was a pretty fun ride to pilot around the course.

Check out the video after the break.

Its crazy when it drops you see all 4 kinda do a quick bounce and just how stiff the suspension is on that bounce is gnarly!

It is if it is riding on its rubber bump stops. Definitely would not work for a daily driver unless you want your teeth shook out of your skull.
