Honda CR-V Hybrid Racer debuts – a beast in sheep’s clothing with an 800 hp IndyCar hybrid powertrain
After some teasing, the Honda CR-V Hybrid Racer has made its full debut as a technological showcase for the NTT IndyCar Series, which will make the switch to hybrid power units in 2024.
Also referred to as The HPD Beast, this “CR-V” clearly represents Honda’s created idiom of “a beast in sheep’s clothing.” On the outside, you’ll notice the sixth-generation model’s bodywork from the beltline up, including the windshield and greenhouse taken from the hybrid variant of the SUV. Accompanying these components are 20-inch two-piece alloy wheels from 2Elle Engineering, which are paired with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 ultra-high performance summer tyres with profiles of 285/35 at the front and 305/35 at the rear.
“The graphics were inspired by the hybrid powertrain, radiating from Honda Hybrid Blue to Honda Racing Red to symbolize the duality of the drivetrain,” Honda R&D’s senior exterior designer Lili Melikian explained.
