The 1984 Honda CR-X²: A Twin-Engine Marvel Joins the Ron Sturgeon Collection in Fort Worth
The legendary 1984 Honda CR-X², a twin-engine, four-wheel-drive innovation, is now displayed at the DFW Car & Toy Museum, showcasing a pivotal moment in automotive history.
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, achieving 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 can witness this legendary car up close at the DFW Car & Toy Museum, where it stands as a testament to the creativity and ambition that drive the automotive industry forward. The museum, located at 2550 McMillan Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76137, offers free admission and parking, inviting visitors to explore a wide range of automotive and toy collections in a 150,000 square foot facility.
The CR-X²'s inclusion in the Ron Sturgeon Collection not only highlights the vehicle's historical significance but also underscores the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing innovative automotive achievements. This one-of-a-kind car continues to inspire engineers, enthusiasts, and collectors, serving as a reminder of what's possible when vision and performance engineering collide.
