GT5 Transcripts/Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) RM '95

This is an original tuned model created by "Gran Turismo", based on the Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) (1995).

The following is the description of the base model.

The Cappuccino, the K sports car released from Suzuki in November 1991 is a car that initiated the huge popularity in 2 seater K cars in its day along with cars like the Honda Beat and Mazda Autozam AZ-1.

The major characteristic of the Cappuccino was that it was a 2-seater FR convertible, with a unique different from the convertible midship beat, and the midship gull-winged AZ-1. What was amazing was that though K-cars often shared parts, this had an all-original body designed specifically for the car. This is of course to make it an FR with excellent handling characteristics, but it goes to show how serious they were in development of the Cappuccino.

Its design is characteristic of an FR car with a long nose section, and it takes on a rounded form. Another innovation was the structure of the roof, that allowed it to be removed in 3 pieces. Starting as a hard top, it can be converted to a T-bar roof, targa top, and with the rear window lowered it becomes a fully open top car, enabling the owner to enjoy 4 variations in style.

The power unit is a 657cc, DOHC 12-valve inline 3 cylinder turbo. Its specs are the same as the 63 Hp engine of the Alto Works, which has the highest specs for a K-car in Japan. From 1995, the engine was made all aluminum, making the front to rear weight distribution closer to ideal at 51:49.

The suspension used newly designed double wishbones in the front and rear, with four wheel disk brakes employing ventilated discs in the front. The gearbox was initially only offered in a 5MT, but an electronically controlled 3AT was added later. The AT model was also given power steering as well. At the end of 1998, it ceased production at 26,500 cars. The Cappuccino was truly a dream K sportscar, born from the economic bubble in Japan.
