Although the sight of those attractive cars may have been replaced by the fancy electric bikes at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show 2009, “Supasse V”, the little two-seater from Japanese manufacturer Suzusho is attracting a huge attention at the show. Toshio Suzuki, the company’s head honcho along with his two sons developed this lightweight unibody chassis and exclusive suspensions. The car features unique scissor doors.
The Supasse V is similar in size to the Lotus Exige. Its stylish bodywork was crafted by designer Kenji Mimura. The car weighs 850 kilos and comes with a 264 horsepower on tap. It has a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine under the hood, which is derived from a Mazdaspeed3 and teams up with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The engine is beautifully and carefully mounted on a rear sub-frame that is bolted to the main structure and offers easy access. The car looks too snazzy in its bright red color. For sure this tiny car will be the next big thing on the road and it will give tough competitions to the racing cars like the ones at Le Mans.
