In the realm of things we were expecting to see, a Honda CR-V Hybrid with 800 horsepower wasn’t on the bingo card this year.
. When asked why the CR-V Hybrid, Honda responded that it wanted to use its best-selling hybrid vehicle as the starting point for this wild project.

of St. Petersburg, Fla., over the March 3-5 weekend. In total, Honda is planning on bringing it to eight different IndyCar races in 2023. From there on out, Honda says it will be treating the vehicle as a rolling lab to learn more about high-performance hybrid technology. The more Honda learns from this experiment of a vehicle, the more of a success it will be. We just hope to see it turning laps or tackling a hill climb for a real reason one day.
