can someone translate this shit to american pls

>>15937050
it's small, light, and has low hp

>>15937050
>Sub 2200 car that is smaller than a Miata
>You can stop being retarded now

>>15937008
2160.5 lbs

>>15937076
Extremely light. At this size and weight, this car is going to be a go kart, and 128hp for a (rumored) 1.5l engine is pretty cool

>>15937008
The rear on that trim is sorta ugly
it's priced around 10k usd in japan, if the race trim has anything more than a body kit and at 15k then I would buy it

>>15937087
I've read around 12k so far, in Australia I think this will end up being around 17k, and for the amount of fun you will get out of this car I think that's a bargain

>>15937008
How readily will this take the engine from something like a litre bike?

>>15937098
Hopefully it will take Hyabusa engines easier than a fucking LS
Pushrods in this car would be sacrilege REEEEEEE

>>15937098
Why would you do that for what, like 30 more horsepower?

>>15937098
>less displacement
>less torquey bike motor where all the power is up top
>around the same horsepower

Why the fuck would you downgrade???
Stupid fucking millenials.

Anyone know if this will hit the US market?

>>15937008
Is it coming to the US? If not don't care all i know that is for japan only so far

>>15937122
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>15937086
>and 128hp for a (rumored) 1.5l engine is pretty cool
But Mazda already does that for the 1.5L Miata

>>15937145
I know, but I mean combined with this car itself. Going to be an absolutely awesome little go kart

>>15937095

Where did you read about the aussie price m8?

I'll see what I can find but I'm not sure. I'm sure this won't be a RHD only affair, it's aiming to compete directly with the Miata so to me that makes me think it will hit US shores, where the mx5 is fairly popular

In the article the price in Japan is said to be $12500, checked the exchange rate and it ends up being around 16.5k, but taking into account our shitty dollar, I'm assuming something like 17k

it's like taking the rear seats out of a corolla but RWD

might as well buy an AE86 and swap that to break 130hp

because it's a cheap shitbox aka "tuner car" for why not projects

Good one OP

>>15938378
Why are you pretending it wouldn't be fun to get a 50% power bump while also reducing mass?

Simplest option would just be to run 10 pounds of boost and hope it doesn't blow up. If it does, then the swap happens.

Seriously shouldn't be an issue to get 170-200 wheel horsepower out of that engine with boost.

>>15937008

>>15938446
>so fucking right
>128bhp
>probably means 100 or less to the wheels

>>15938436
Yeah man, should be no problem to just double the power on a 13:1 CR engine on a car that isn't even going to exist anyway, just need a turbo and a simple tune

Anyone have an actual source saying this is going into production? The Tokyo motor show was last year and there's been no real updates since. This concept is dead, unfortunately. I was really hoping to pick one up.

imagine ls swapping this fucking thing

that would be SUICIDE

"A fun, compact sports car that is smaller and lighter than a Miata, that Americans will never get to drive."

if they'd sell it for under 20k, it would be a viable option for a commuter car for me.

The Cappucino was a keicar. keicars are allowed maximum 3400mm length, 1480mm width and 660cc engine.

If you want a two-seat sports one, great, google Honda S660, and no it ain't ever leaving Japan.

tl;dr Nice base ND Miata Skyactiv 1.5 with a bodykit and two smaller faker rear seats than the FR-S86BRZ has. Moran.

if it eventually comes out, i assume you could stick a turbo or a supercharger on it and make like 200hp.
