Honda is fast-tracking the production of the CR-Z Turbo according to Japanese sources. It will likely be available in two versions, a 160hp and a 200hp version. Sources say that buyer feedback have been so strong and sales have been slightly off that Honda is fast-tracking the turbo development. Rumors say to look for the turbo version to debut in December. The 1.6 Turbo reportedly will provide the similar performance of Honda's 2.0L engines but because of forced induction and Honda's i-VTEC technology, will provide better than expected fuel economy.
