1984 Honda CR-X²: A Twin-Engine Marvel Joins the Ron Sturgeon Collection in Fort Worth

The 1984 Honda CR-X², a groundbreaking twin-engine experiment, has found a new home in Fort Worth as part of the Ron Sturgeon Collection. This unique vehicle, a collaboration between Car and Driver, American Honda, Racing Beat, and Mugen, represents a bold leap in automotive design and performance engineering. Originally a stock CRX, it was transformed into a twin-engine, four-wheel-drive marvel, featuring dual 1.8L inline-fours from the Honda Accord, among other upgrades.

During its heyday, the CR-X² captured the imagination of the automotive world with its impressive performance metrics, including a 0–60 mph time of 6.2 seconds and a quarter-mile pass in 14.5 seconds. Its appearance on the May 1985 cover of Car and Driver under the headline 'Synchronicity' and subsequent features on the magazine's site and Jay Leno's Garage in December 2024, have cemented its status as a historic artifact of innovation.

Now, enthusiasts and the curious alike can witness this engineering marvel up close at the DFW Car & Toy Museum. The museum, located at 2550 McMillan Parkway, Fort Worth, TX, offers free admission and parking, making it accessible to all who wish to explore the rich history of automotive innovation. The CR-X²'s inclusion in the collection not only celebrates the car's legacy but also serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of creativity and ambition in the automotive industry.

The DFW Car & Toy Museum, with its 150,000 square feet of space, provides a fitting backdrop for the CR-X², among other classic and exotic cars. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, the museum invites visitors to delve into a world where automotive dreams become reality. The CR-X²'s story is a reminder of how visionary collaborations can push the boundaries of what's possible, inspiring future generations of engineers, designers, and enthusiasts.
