the Honda Civic from Crank: High Voltage

A little slow on the news front, so I thought I'd include something I stumbled across on another blog....
Crank: High Voltage, the sequel to 2006’s equally action packed Crank, was released on DVD yesterday and we came up with some interesting ways to be inspired by the high adrenaline film. If horse racing and adrenaline junky stunts weren’t enough for you we’ve got you another Crank inspired blog. Not only do the movies have an awesome array of gadgets (including an AbioCor Artificial heart!) but since they’re always on the move they’ve got some pretty cool vehicles too. And so this week our auto spot is the Honda Civic used by Johnny Vang and his gang in the movie.

During the film Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) is desperately searching for Vang and his cohorts as they have something very valuable to him – his heart! As Chev races around searching for the gang and trying to keep his artificial heart charged up, they use their Japanese coupe to escape him. Their Civic is a sixth generation 1996 coupe, in ‘New Vogue Silver Metallic’ with blue decals, and a rear spoiler. To be the perfect getaway car for a gang it needs to be big enough to fit in the members, but compact enough to move quickly. With their coupe being 175 inches long, 67 inches wide and only 54 inches high it’s just that. It features front double wishbone suspension, inspired by Hondas racing research. With its 1.6 litre engine its fast, but not quite fast enough to escape the charged up Chev Chelios.

The Honda Civic is the perfect car for anyone who wants something speedy but practical, and since they’re currently producing their eighth generation of Civic it’s obvious it’s a popular model. Grab yourself a cool car in the form of the Civic now, but remember it’s not properly equipped for transporting organs.
