Pretty exciting!!!

they reckon it might be the fastest jazz in the world but we all know our boy rotel puts out a bit more power then the 184kw Honda claims for this new Jazz G2

also anyone know what the "G2" means? is it just 2nd generation? because lots of ppl dunno a GD from a GE so Honda just call it the G2??

still looks mean!!

I think those Jazzes won't run in the WRC but rather in the ARC (Australian) as far as latest news go.

G2 is the category/group they are entering in.

Now when is Honda going to get back to making proper sports cars for the road ?

^ +1

They have the new NSX concept though... and that is the problem... it is still a concept.

sorry thats what i meant. i keep thinking wrc even tho i just mean rally in general :P
habbit i suppose.

Honda isnt making those expensive cars anymore, all of their sports cars lately have been designed to target ppl who want the thrill of a supercar but without the price.
so they will most likely be sticking to bringing out more fwd sport hatches like the civic type R

[GU357]

Apparently its a Mugen tuned K20.

interesting, did they convert it to 4WD layout?

It sounds like a go cart in that video at top lol

[GU357]

mhmm sounds amazingly tuned.

not sure abt the awd layout but i hope they did. otherwise it might not be competative enough for some of the other cars in that class.

ARC G2 is 2 wheel drive only, front or rear. If the entry car is originally 4wd/awd, i must be converted to either front or rear wheel drive only. Ü
