Exciting news for car enthusiasts: the Suzuki Cappuccino may be making a comeback after 26 years. This revival will be a collaborative effort between Suzuki, Toyota, and Daihatsu. The new platform developed for the Suzuki Cappuccino could also be utilized by Toyota and Daihatsu to launch their own versions of a small, rear-wheel-drive sports car.
Suzuki Cappuccino Reborn: All Details!
The Suzuki Cappuccino may be reborn after a 26-year hiatus, with the potential revival being developed in collaboration with Toyota and Daihatsu. This news is exciting for fans of small, light, and fun sports cars.
Reports from Japan suggest that the new Cappuccino will be quite different from the original. While the original was equipped with a 657 cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine driving the rear wheels, the new model may feature a significantly larger 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, also driving the rear wheels.
This upcoming model is expected to be a rally-focused machine, competing in the Rally 4 class alongside the Renault Clio and Ford Fiesta. The 1.3-liter engine will reportedly be derived from the 1.6-liter turbo engine used in the GR Yaris and GR Corolla, but downsized to around 150 BHP . The reason for using this engine is that Toyota cannot justify the cost of developing it solely for a new Starlet. Additionally, this three-cylinder engine might also be used in a new entry-level sports car from Toyota and a new version of the popular Daihatsu Copen.
The new Cappuccino is rumored to measure approximately 4,000 mm in length, 1,700 mm in width, and 1,230 mm in height, with a 2,480 mm wheelbase. As an open-top two-seater, it promises to be lightweight, with an estimated weight of around 1,100 kg. Enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Suzuki intends to offer it with a choice between a six-speed manual transmission and an eight-speed automatic.
