NOBLNG Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Saw this in traffic today and wondered what it is? It makes my MX5 look big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctruss53 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Mittagskind beat me to it. Suzuki Cappuccino. I think Aoshima might make a kit of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I sat in one of these at the NY Auto Show a couple of years back - and, yeah, they're tiny: 3 cylinder, 660cc (I think?) engine - I bet it's super fun to drive! Reminded me a LOT of a shrunk-down version of my 2nd generation Miata, particuarly in looks. I'd drive the heck outta one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 What is the octagonal thingy w/ a handle on the right side of each photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Oh, and Honda's version of the same idea - if you had a hardtop it's almost like a baby NSX! Mid engined too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the crank handle for a tarp on a trailer in the lane between me and the Suzuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that Honda before. That looks like a lot of fun on four wheels. I want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the mid-engine Honda Beat this one has a traditional front engine (660 CC turbo)/rear drive setup and a very cool removable HT; the targa section is 3 removable pieces (allows opening partially or completely) and the rear glass section folds down into the cavity for the full convertible treatment without a soft top to do it. With everything in place it's not a lot different from your PRHT Miata in security, but it does require getting out of the car to remove/replace the targa's sections. I've sat in this, the Beat, and the AZ-1. This and the Beat are marginally comfortable, cockpit width is tight, the AZ-1 would be impossible for me to drive with shoes on as my size 8.5 wide shoes each cover two pedals at once.

And if you're willing to spend a few bucks Modeler's in Japan made a multi-media resin kit of it a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
