For the Japanese market, the CRX will exist in two forms: an entry-level model with a 1.0-litre DOHC VTEC triple producing appoximately 74 kW (the engine derived from the block used in Honda's Insight hybrid coupé), and a hardcore 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine (also with VTEC) generating 110-115 kW. Not incredible, until you realise that the target weight for the four-cylinder coupé is said to cut under 800 kg. Put it this way - that's 200 kg less than the Mini and 175 kg lighter than an MR2.

in the first paragraph i can tell you it is all 100% [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] unless this car is a hybrid , why would they put the smallest engine made by honda in this thing.a smaart would be quicker

 

Smaller engines must be more marketble to the street ricers [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

 

Ok I think for a 2 seater it's too small. I like the fact that now and days we are getting more horsepower out of smaller engines. But I think why make more power in a smaller engine when you can make even more with a good size engine and save a couple of bucks on gas.
