They so should have kept these AZEV wheels.

fantastic, being an engineer it fascinates me to see the design process, thanks for sharing :-)

Brilliant!

It's a pity they CHANGED from the Concept, which apart from the REAR LIGHTS, Looks SOooooooo much better IMHO....

Different Mirrors, Front and Rear Bumpers, and My favourite bits.......NO 1/4 GLASS WINDOW.......SHAVED DOOR HANDLES, Though it appears they could be at the BOTTOM of the HOOP, where the Garnish meets the Door...???

VERY NICE REGARDLESS.

The bumpers are so much nicer on the concept IMO. Very appropriate to have posted this subject now in  light of the Cappuccino's 20th birthday this month.

Happy Birthday to the Suzuki Cappuccino !

agree x 1 million

also, the glass at the top of the hoop appears to go in deeper before it hits the top of the hoop. i think the front of the concept is much sharper! as are the rear lights

the handles on the garnish look schmick!

shaaaaaame they changed it, but i guess a concept never finishes the way it started!

550cc engine is from Alto works, engine/gearbox mounts from Jimny, gearbox from Carry.

Cultus GTi brake calipers for front and rear.

adjustable Koni dampers.

piston/intake/exhaust are custom made.

working ducts behind the front wheels

They should have kept that amazing clam front end and the working ducts!

Now THAT'S more like it..........Brilliant

A carbon/kevlar/fibreglass Cappuccino.  I so want one!!!

http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/395378/blog/24101265/

Just noticed the CLEAR Side Indicator....UNDER The Guard Vent....Car looks very cool.

The driver in that photo looks even cooler ahahahah

Japanese tom cruise!

Wow.

Looks amazing, imagine if someone got a hold of the prototype to drive around in this day and age

http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/395378/blog/24122970/

Been away camping for a bit and just noticed this thgread.

As said above, Brilliant Japtaxi.
Where did you find all of this stuff?

the view from the front looks quite different but i cant put my finger on it..Bigger headlights???? anyone better at "spot the difference"?

HeadLights, Mirrors, Indicators smaller and Wipers.....and of course as previously mentioned, Front Bumper

just lurking though minkara blog site, google translate helps. :)

It looks so on point for a vehicle from over 20 years ago!!

Nope, dont like THOSE Rear Lights...Thank God they changed the design. Looks like they changed the High level Brake light and Reverse Light also.

Now, is just my fading eyesight, or is the REAR WINDOW Covering the Hoop Section.....because of the SEAMLESS REFLECTION where it meets the Drivers side...???

.....and NO SUNVISORS ;D

I took off my sunvisors (they didnt really do much) so it looks normal to me,

not a fan of the rear lights though,

protoype front half + current rear half = win!

Anyone notice the door glass and a-pillar???? Should have kept that one, one piece mirrors and forward tilting front end....that would made the car even better than it already is.

What's the guy in the brown jumper holding with his right hand?

Looks like his wang to me LOL

Probably the work experience guy who designed the centre console lid that opens the wrong way.

Wang hand lol

Ah, the famous Wang Hand Lei, Executve Console Hinge Engineer  ;D

Or they decided to just copy the mx5 design!

...and I think the same guy must've passed on his idea to Porsche.....

digging up the past once again :)
