Mid-Engine Honda CR-V Making 800+hp: A Racecar Built With No Rulebook
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лют 2023
- Honda Racing HPD invited me out to shoot photos and video of their latest engineering marvel. This particular CR-V was built to test Honda's newest electric hybrid twin turbo V6 motor that is similar to the next generation of Indycar power plants.

Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/
This was an epic shoot man damn I love that thing I'm a big fan of honda and that is absolutely a peice of art congrats to them they have something very cool
Update video please
The internet demands a This vs That between The Beast and the Indytruck
The CRV will destroy the Indy Truck.
@@AA-yx2kf the indy truck already destroyed itself
@@Slowtreme True.
Internet user here, can confirm original comment.
Correct
This is the outcome of when you give true car enthusiasts the keys to the kingdom of big motor corps. So sick! 😮
NAILLED IT
Especially a big motor corp. like Honda that was essentially founded on motorsports.
it is sad we still never get hondas powerful engines apart from the jseries they would be better than most perfomance cars
The aero blades and canards on the side sill are very Super GT as well. It would be super cool if this turned up at Goodwood!
Mad respect to Honda(HPD) for backing two very insane builds recently, the IndyTruck was gnarly but this definitely takes the cake.
I'm way more impressed with this than the IndyTruck!
This is reminiscent of the pikes peak suzuki escudo.
“In this case we wanted to do something a little bit different” most humble words ever spoken
As some others have suggested, I really love the Super GT vibes the aero designers integrated into this CR-V. Definitely cool to see engineers being able to let loose a little on design and construction. 👍
that rolling launch is the new rumble idle. new music to my ears
who needs a starter when you can just pushstart your engine everytime? 😁
@@ftmr definitely.. Definitely.
Imagine a suv racing series with this thing its really unique.
It makes more sense than GT3 where the new sports car it is based on has less power and no hybrid than the race car version.
Crossover series, a new hot hatch age
I’m surprised that’s not already a thing seeing how many crossovers there are in the market, hell Lamborghini even makes one.
are you a genius?
Pikes Peak International Hill Climb wants a conversation with you.
Larry Chen is a real artist with real talent, he’s also a true car nerd and enthusiast. His pictures and words need to be cherished. The man is a legend. He is the real deal
Big, heavy cars turned into racecars are just the coolest things. Seriously, we need a race series for cars like this.
Maybe in Pikes Peak.
As soon as I saw this I thought of the Renaut Espace F1 van Team Renault built and Alain Prost drove. Ford also had their Supervans and BMW had the V12 X5 Lemans. So cool when companies through out the rule books on non-sports car ideas and go all out!
Not so cool when they downplay the inspiration of those that came before them. Lol
I love that they mentioned the Renauly Espace F1...straight out of the Gran Turismo classifieds 😂
The gurney flaps on the end plates. The half cut billionaire doors. Man this thing is wild. Love it, love it, love it
This is freaking amazing, and I love it. Another reason to love HPD/Honda.
Include HART with that as well because we were the ones who built the car along with Honda Auto development center and HPD
Mind fragile little mind has been broken.... luv ya Larry for finding and showcasing pure awesomeness so often!!!
Time attack/hillclimb (pikes peak as Larry talks about). Seems like the perfect car for it. Really cool to hear James and Larry talk about the inspiration behind this machine. It also looks so similar to a Renault Clio V6, but that's just my Gran Turismo 4 enthusiast take. Really cool experiment.
Do you know about the renault Espace F1 he is talking about in the video? if not, look it up you're gonna love that beast
If they do run it they would have to make the hybrid part more reliable if it isn’t already because the indy engine would start suffocating at high altitudes.
@@Evangelical. it has turbos bro I think it’ll be more than fine
Loving the new level of production going into the videos Larry & crew 👍
Glad you like them!
Love the callback to the Renault's Espace F1 lol. This Hybrid CR-V definitely has the same energy as that one lol
Inspired by Hoonigans or Hoonigans were inspired by this? Either way, this is awesome 😎😎 😎😎
Both commissioned by HPD sooo.
Honda spearheaded the Indy truck so yeah they definitely took all those ideas and put it into this.
Inspired by Pikes Peak. Suzuki did this with Escudo SUVs.
First time i see larry not really interested with the car, maybe he know everything before? huehuehue🤭
There is nothing Honda CRV about this beautiful piece of machinery.
This thing needs to meet Pikes peak and all those crazy hill climbs in europe
Edit: we need a JGTC style truck series from Japan now that I've seen this
This is exactly what I was planning to do with a Toyota Landcruiser, I kid you not! Wow.🤯 Great minds think for themselves.
This is why I love Honda and will continue to own a Honda keep up the good work 👍
12:44 when the VTEC kicks in
The public needs these
I already know my Puerto Rican’s are gonna love this
The ultimate CRV Type-R. Really cool looking vehicle and the sound is amazing. Great video guy's.☘️
I loved all of your content since your
early days at Hoonigan .
You always cover your
passion s and ours. I
love that about you.
A true gear head.
Thanks Larry.
CR-Vだけではなく、スズキのパイクスピークマシンの話も出てきて嬉しかったです。興味深い動画をありがとうございました。
I wish this was badged as an Acura so it would HAVE to be the pace car for Long Beach. Hope they get to blast it around the track
I can already see JP's head catching fire with this gasoline/electric engine concept for the Golf 3 that he is now preparing 😅
Just saw this thing in person at the 2023 St. Pete grand prix over the past weekend. Video just doesn't do this thing justice. So much more impressive in person! It's absolutely a stunning piece of automotive artwork!
This HAS to race the Hoonigan Indytruck! Both are just crazy engineering exercises that happens to have a Indycar drivetrain... 😎🤟
What about Nobuhiro Tajima's Pikes Peak Suzuki SUVs?
This is what I love what I live for !!! Seeing Honda and the ingenuity that can be applied to a chasis like this!
The last time Honda let their engineers take a car and go out and build whatever they want, they made a Rwd Honda City that was the main idea that turned into the beloved NSX. We love when engineers can build with no rules!
Thanks Larry for always documenting thee most insane car builds on this planet! 🌎 🙏
Man!! The beast is awesome! Good job to the team building it.
My hat is off to you!
This is by far the most coolest freak of nature I have had the pleasure of seeing!
I truly believe that Hybrid is the way of the future, Electric torque, Gas endurance!!!
Hence the reason I built my AW dual engine hybrid Smart fortwo!
We are the future!
JESUS MANG . that thing is so wild ,very cool
ErmaGerd, for that wicked Soccer mom hidden deep inside each one of us... q=D
you are KILLING it!
I like how the B pillar has the front door gasket on part of the clam shell.
We need to see this at Gridlife!
And Pikes Peak.
Larry brother, this thing is absolutely mind blowing 🤯
I’m totally blown away by the engineering of the beast.
It just encompasses everything that a true petrol head would want to put together given the facilities and the parts.
Thank you for showcasing this absolute monster of a project 🙏🏻
I can't even imagine the level of straight up engineering that went into this build....insane.
One of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam... ever !
Thats insane, I love it.
Just wow! thanks
What an epic machine! Great job HPD!
the most baddas CRV, it sounds glorious
now this is THE CR.V i'd like to drive to tke the kids to school!
Thank you larry
This is so cool looks amazing
So clean... Just WOW! 👊🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is art
It's ridiculous and I LOVE IT!
he is asking the right questions! i love this vid
SO nice production, perfect pics... and an excellent job... also this car is insane !!!! Thanks, guys for this experience even on the other side of the screen.
Larry: And so you did this in house as well?
James: We did, yeah. 😐
Story?
This thing is sick!
Very well done. This looks amazing.
Larry this is awesome...
It’s nice knowing that even on the hill, nothing beats throwing money into a Honda.
First time I've seen your channel or any of your content; subscribed..just a very down to earth not overly productionized interview and laid back vibe
This. is. SICK!!!!
I love the work you put in thank you for sharing. Wow what a cool crv.
That Indy sound! ❤
This car is really fnn cool ,great video Larry!!
The best crv sound
That car sounds great.
WOOOW!! I'm soo blown away with this car A.K.A. SUV. This is such an Inspiring Vehicle for GearHeads... I'm a Civic owner 09 Sedan which I was doing things to and then I just stopped doing it and became discouraged... Watching this Vehicle just renewed that passion.. Truly Amazing!!
Damn this is a badass car! Thanks for the video Larry!!
Beautiful❤ Artistic and Creative.
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
You should bring this next year to Simola Hillclimb in South Africa. It's an international event, and huge!! People will love this car!! Go check it out
Awesome vid Larry! good times
Omg amazing
Ok, so we have this and the Tacoma. Please tell me there is an Odessey out there somewhere too.
this is way toooooo sick
If this comes to Indy the 500’weekend I’ll explode seriously one of the coolest Hondas ever
Nice build thinking of Suzuki Escudo as well
So sick
those graphics are sick!
Fabulous
Chuckwalla!! Baddest CRV I’ver ever seen!
While Larry was excited to drop the Renault eSpace F1 similarities, I feel like the HPD rep downplayed it when clearly is was a major part of the inspiration. If you’ve never seen the Renault vid, go watch it.
I think I like this more than the indytruck. I love the livery and the wheels 👌 the body kit and aero looks amazing too
That's cool! That's all I got so cool.
Amazing 👏👏👏
This is so reminiscent of the Pikes Peak Suzuki from the original Gran Turismo.
excellent work. stand up to the project they went with the Ridgeline. ,👍👍💥💥💥
Need to put this in production
Its like the renault clio v6, super cool!
Crazyes cr-v in world
Love it🤩🤩
That's the wagon I want to drive to heaven when I die !!! 👏👍🤘👌✌️
The only CRV I’ve ever wanted to drive
The fact that Honda now has a non plug in hybrid civic now that gets 80+ mpg blows my mind.
Excellent and inovative , good looking design and power plant ( engine ) are hybrid . Future Vehicle wannabe 👍👌 thank's Larry Chen 👍👌
Holy moly! 😮
