Only in Japan: Suzuki Cappuccino-based Cobra
Are you deeply concerned about the amount of non-renewable fossil fuels your 427 Cobra burns?
Do you find the standard Cobra to be way too roomy inside?
Well then, the Japanese have the answer for you: the new Baby Cobra.
This little hell-raiser uses the frugal 63-hp 660cc L3 engine from the Suzuki Cappuccino microcar, and can even accommodate a 158-hp turbocharged 720cc engine for those who believe "there's no substitute for cubic inches."
Oh, dare to dream... |

That's pretty cool. I like how it is a 40.27 Cobra.
There is a 3/4 size P-51 Mustang by Titan Aircraft that is also in the same vein.

What Happens When You Wash a Cobra in Hot Water
What Happens When You Wash a Cobra in Hot Water
"The car rides on a 81.1-in. wheelbase (the Mazda MX-5 is 91.7 in.) and tips the scales at a lean 1430 lb. (the MX-5 weighs 2447). The car sells in Japan for about $40,000."

"And yep, the Stage 1 Cobra has a 660-cc 80-bhp engine…do you think Carroll Shelby is having nightmares?"
LOL
Okay, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I find I have to contort myself a bit just to get into my full-scale 289FIA. I can't imagine squeezing into one of these things...

So I guess the side pipes and collectors are either fake or there is some sort of a converter?

I keep one of these in the trunk -just in case.
Now if you put a Suzuki hayabusa engine in there -that would be worth the price of admission .

How small is that guy that the car still looks big?
If I got in it, it would look like a power wheel for the kids...
