Kei Central

homeforsummer · Oct 21, 2018

The livery and removal of the GT-R badge itself (plus no overfenders) actually works quite well on the Copen, compared to the nasty orange one in the vid above.

Not being able to read Japanese, I thought this was going to be a regular on-board lapping video of a Subaru 360 Young SS. And then...

Edit:

Some great pictures to show that even kei cars are only relatively small...

Must have been the same guy who forgot to tighten the wheel on Tim Slade's Supercar, last weekend.

This Opti looks really well done.

I don't know but this is from the Tokyo Auto Show 2017

So probably at least one year old.

That's a bit disconcerting. :scared:

My initial split-second thought upon seeing the front.

Remember, this is an MR. Still cool.

I love Japan.

That Suzuki Twin with the red filler cap and Watanabes looks cool. I can't even get mad at that "Chivic Type R" Alto either.

I totally want that Duck's Garden GT2.

Love when a car maker have different factory wheel options.

The Honda N-Box Slash is certainly a left-of center kei car, but I dig it.

The Mugen options are interesting, to say the least.

I 100% dig it. I want to play with that car configurator.

So, one of these and an S660. A Copen and Canbus. Needs these.

Finally found a full brochure for this:

And as a bonus, here.

Crazy. Yesterday, I was watching an Option YouTube video about Amemiya-San and his Chantez creations.

Isn't the blue car a Suzuki Cervo, not a Chantez?

Yup that's a Cervo, however a Chantez that looks pretty similar was also made by RE-Amemiya.

Populuxe · Nov 12, 2018

I can't read the whole article about the RE-Cervo, but the vertical text on the right side says it has the verve and power of a mini-Pantera.

Oh man, I really want a Midget (the Trimobile type on the right, rather than the handlebar-driven one on the left). There are some great driving videos of them on Youtube:
