\n It is actually a Suzuki kei car underneath<\/p>\n

What’s the story<\/p>\n

The Nissan Skyline GT-R, especially the R32 generation produced from 1989 to 1994, is a legend in the world of motorsports.
\nKnown as “Godzilla” in Australia<\/a>, this car dominated touring-car racing.
\nNow, at the Tokyo Auto Salon, Rocket Bunny has unveiled an adorable mini version of this iconic model.
\nBut don’t be fooled by its looks; it is actually a Suzuki<\/a> kei car underneath.\n <\/p>\n

Rocket Bunny’s unique creation<\/p>\n

The new creation from bodywork-specialist Rocket Bunny is a Suzuki Twin, a small and basic commuter car. It is also the first kei car to come with hybrid power.
\n This mini version of the R32 Skyline GT-R has just 27hp from its three-cylinder, 660cc engine.
\n This is way less than what you’d find in a mid-weight motorcycle.\n <\/p>\n

A glimpse into Rocket Bunny’s creativity<\/p>\n

The mini R32 is not just a car, but a testament to the creativity of Rocket Bunny’s founder, Kei Miura.
\n The body kit for this unique vehicle was built in just two weeks.
\n There are also plans to make it commercially available and possibly convert it into rear-wheel drive in the future.\n <\/p>\n

A fun addition to Tokyo’s streets<\/p>\n

The mini R32 is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face, even if it doesn’t have the power of its bigger counterpart.
\n It looks like a toddler in a costume, ready to take on the streets of downtown Tokyo<\/a>.
\n While it may not be as powerful as an actual R32 Skyline GT-R, this tiny scrapper packs a lot of fun into its small frame.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is actually a Suzuki kei car underneath What’s the story The Nissan Skyline GT-R, especially the R32…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-402872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
