Japanese automakers and their tuning divisions have descended upon the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tokyo-auto-salon/">2014 Tokyo Auto Salon</a>. And for <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a>, it's all about <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mugen/">Mugen</a>.<br />
<br />
Honda's Japanese Domestic Market tuning division brought a series of modified concepts and racing cars to the salon this year, including the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/07/05/honda-and-mugen-develop-widebody-twin-turbo-v6-cr-z-for-racin/">CR-Z hybrid touring car</a> it fields in the Super GT series, the SF13 single-seater from the Super Formula series as well as customized versions of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/fit/">Fit</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/odyssey/">Odyssey</a> and N-WGN. But the prize for the most outrageous of them all surely goes to the modified <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/honda+vezel/">Vezel</a> you see above.<br />
<br />
Modeled on Honda's new Fit-based crossover, the Mugen Vezel Concept goes further than <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/16/honda-vezel-mugen-leaked/">the versions we've seen</a> until now. It features a bonkers body kit, dual exhaust, brake upgrade, sport suspension, intricate 20-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded interior. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're feeling still interested, you can check it out in the gallery above, along with the announcement <a href="/2014/01/12/mugen-honda-vezel-2014-tokyo-auto-salon/#continued">below</a> and the specs on <a href="http://www.mugen-power.com/english/autosalon2014/vezel/index.html">Mugen's website</a>.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/14/honda-vezel-mugen-tokyo-auto-salon/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Bonkers Honda Vezel headlines Mugen's lineup at Tokyo Auto Salon</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/14/honda-vezel-mugen-tokyo-auto-salon/">Bonkers Honda Vezel headlines Mugen's lineup at Tokyo Auto Salon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:19:00 EST.
