The “true passion for driving” that attracts every car enthusiast is packed into this small Cappuccino. The Suzuki EA11R Cappuccino, born in 1991, was not just a Kei car. With an aggressive front-midship layout and the fundamentals of driving—FR (rear-wheel drive)—it was a masterpiece that realized the ideal sports car in a mini-car size. Long nose and short deck: this is the authentic two-seater style. This very vehicle has been turned into a model car: “The Model Car Series No. 40.”

The charm of this model lies in the fact that it doesn't just mimic the shape. The actual car was equipped with a 3-cylinder DOHC turbo engine called the F6A, a high-performance unit developed for the Alto Works. It had an intercooler and exhibited power uncharacteristic of a Kei car. That presence is fully reproduced even in the model car, making you imagine the engine under the bonnet. It reminds viewers of the excitement of that moment when the car starts running.

An interesting point of this model is that you can choose between genuine aluminum wheels or aftermarket ones, according to your preference. Furthermore, aero parts and a roll bar are included, allowing you to complete your own ideal machine. Even the tuning culture of the actual car is encapsulated in this small scale. In addition, aluminum license plates for pursuing realism and masking seals for the window frames are included. The specifications are designed to fully cater to the modellers' dedication.

Focusing on the wheels, 14-inch Potenza tires are used. This is a deliberate detail to express the grip and presence just like the real car. Potenza is a highly rated tire brand in the racing scene. Reproducing its texture even in miniature further enhances the visual realism. It's impossible not to feel the developers' passion in this level of careful craftsmanship.

This model car evokes nostalgia in those who know the Suzuki Cappuccino and fresh surprise in those who don't. It is more than just an “ornament”; it's a vehicle that resonates with the heart. Along with its precise molding, it conveys the history and culture of cars, and the joy of free customization. The moment you hold it, you will surely feel the atmosphere of that era.
