Tax-busting Japanese Kei-cars were never designed to set the world on fire, but Suzuki's Cappuccino roadster at least manages to inspire a degree of enthusiasm from those who have driven them
But what if the car had looked like this? It's a full-blown 427 AC Cobra replica shrunk to fit the Cappuccino running gear, with an all-new grp body courtesy of a company named Baby Cobra in Japan.
The company website is not available in English, but there's an interesting pictorial build blog to look at. From what we can glean elsewhere in webland, a Baby Cobra will cost between £27k-£40, depending on whether you want the standard 600cc engine, or a bored out 720cc version with turbocharger making a fruity 158hp. As somebody once said, there's no substitute for cubic inches...
