Well, that was disappointing.

No specs, and I hate all the cosmetic changes.

I LOVE IT!!! It is even my favorite color. You can bet though the conversion will cost as much as the CR-Z its self.

not digging the triangle exhaust tip unless it was centered to the rear. Would like to see specs, and Bill of Materials for what you get.

Details from here - I think this is from the original concept, so may be a bit different in the prototype.

The first pictures of the CR-Z Mugen have been unveiled officially by Honda. The car is still in an intensive process of development. However, development of the CR-Z Mugen has been already on track. And it is promising magnificent performance figures. In developing the car, Honda has teamed up with Mugen. Mugen takes role as Honda’s tuning partner.

In fact, the car is a high performance version of Mugen’s hybrid coupe. In some tests, prototype of the CR-Z Mugen can accelerate from zero to 60 mph with timing close to the Civic Type R. And the fuel consumption figures are also great.

Under “eco” mode, the car has a combined fuel consumption figure of 50+mpg.

While under special “Mugen” mode, the fuel consumption figure is mid-30 mpg.

The results of the tests have given great encouragement to Mugen. But Mugen has not been satisfied with the figures. An increase by more than 14 percent over the “first stage” power is expected. 50 kg reduction of the chassis is also expected to complete the overall performance of the 2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen. Mugen Euro’s representative, Colin Whittamore, indicates that the sales-ready form of the car will really give satisfaction for the buyers.

Edit to add:

With 197bhp and 158lb ft of torque available from the supercharged iVTEC 1.5-litre and electric IMA (integrated motor assist) combo, the 0-60mph sprint is expected to take around 6.6sec.

Weight saving measures include carbonfibre bonnet and doors, lightweight Mugen GP wheels, Recaro racing seats in the front and deletion of rear passenger seats equating to a drop of around 50kg at the scales.

Uprated suspension includes stiffer springs and five-position adjustable dampers - based on MUGEN’s commercially available products - with braking courtesy of four-pot callipers grabbing 320mm grooved and vented discs up front.
