Car Index[]
"The front-engine, rear-wheel drive open-top that started a 2-seater Kei car trend in Japan."
The Cappuccino, the kei car released by Suzuki in November 1991, was a car that demonstrated these efficient mini automobiles could be stylish and sporty, joining the ranks of the now legendary Honda Beat and Mazda Autozam AZ-1.
The Cappuccino's front-engine/rear-wheel drive layout helped differentiate it from the mid-engine configuration of the previously mentioned Beat and AZ-1. But what really set this Suzuki apart from the others was the fact that while most of them shared major components with other kei cars to help keep costs down, the Cappuccino featured an all-original body designed exclusively for this application.
Its stylized body was defined by a round form with a long nose section, accompanied by an innovative panelized roof that could be easily removed in three sections. Starting as a hardtop, it transformed into a T-bar roof, a targa top or, with the rear window lowered, a full open-top car. Powering the Cappuccino was a turbocharged 657 cc DOHC 12-valve inline-3 that produced 63 BHP. Beginning with the 1995 model, the engine became an all-aluminum unit, and the car's weight distribution was improved to a nearly perfect 51-to-49 front/rear balance. Along with a reworked suspension at all four corners and four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated discs up front), the Suzuki Cappuccino was truly a dream sports car in the kei car segment, having sold 26,500 examples before it ceased production at the end of 1998.
Used Cars (GT7)[]
Despite belonging to Japan's 'kei car' class, the Suzuki Cappuccino is a real sports car. It's a lightweight vehicle with a small body and an FR layout. The engine is a straight-three turbo, boasting 657 cc of displacement, and the reliability you'd expect from a Suzuki. It's only got 63.1 BHP of power, but the fact that it only weighs 700 kg means it packs decent acceleration. The chassis was also specially developed, so the front-rear weight distribution is absolutely spot on. It handles like a dream, too, making this a very enjoyable car to drive!

When it comes to genuine kei sportscars... This Suzuki Cappuccino is truly a legend. It has a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, making it an 'FR' car. Lift up its bonnet and you'll find that its engine is mounted near the center of the car. That alone should convince you that it's a real sportscar! Released in 1991, the Cappuccino... Is often grouped with its competitors, the Mazda AZ-1 and Honda Beat. Combing their initials, the three may be referred to as the 'A-B-C' of kei sportscars.
