This thing looks sick.

Honda has announced that it's working with M-TEC and Team Mugen on a CR-Z GT that will campaign in the GT300 category of Japan's Super GT championship. The racing hybrid uses a 2.8-liter, twin turbo V6 paired with a specially developed hybrid system, and it will enter its first race at this month's SUGO GT round on July 28-29.

The CR-Z GT will race in the same class as the Subaru BRZ GT300 and Toyota Prius GT300. That latter car also uses a specially designed hybrid system with a larger battery from the Prius Alpha and a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6.

The Honda CR-Z GT was recenly tested at Twin Ring Motegi, scroll down to watch the video and check out the official press release.

Sugo (super) GT is one of those races i wish I saw more of in the states. i love the idea of taking street cars and just modding them to hell and back for the track. F1 is great fun to watch, but you don't get that sense of inter-company competition...its more big ego and big personalities.
 
thanks for posting - quite interesting to see they're going to be running against the brz
 
looks pretty sweet....
