Interesting Japanese sports car, Supasse V

Just a few days before the opening of the Tokyo Motor Show, some Japanese manufacturers unknown to us are presenting interesting alternatives, and this sports car is one of the most attractive examples.

The Supasse V was built by Suzusho Ltd, and its striking look originated in the mind of veteran Japanese F1 designer Kenji Mimura, who gave the sports car its own character with smooth, well-defined lines running along its entire body.

Another noteworthy point about this Japanese coupe is its weight, as it weighs only 850 kilos thanks to its structure being based on aluminium and fibreglass components.

As you can imagine, the mentioned weight allows it to reach competition-level speeds in a short time. Furthermore, considering it is equipped with a 2.6L turbo engine (taken from the MazdaSpeed3) coupled to a six-speed automatic gearbox, the performance should meet expectations.

The car will go on sale in the second half of next year in Japan, and Suzusho says it expects to sell 100 units over a period of four years at a price of 80,000 dollars.
