In-game description[]
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.

The Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) '95 as it appears in GT5 in the Kyoto Shoren-In photo location.
- This car (in Antes Red) is one of few cars that is parked at the Kyoto Shoren-In photo location in GT5 along with the Mazda Atenza Sport 25Z '07, Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (DC5) '04, and Suzuki SWIFT Sport '07.
- In international versions of GT2, the car is erroneously referred to as the Suzuki Capcino '95. This is a byproduct of Japanese romanization, as Cappuccino is written as カプチーノ and pronounced "capchi-no", as a result of Japanese devoicing.
- The available colors in GT2 are also noticeably darker than what it has in later appearances.
