This new Daihatsu Copen ZZ concept is the sports car embodiment of Daihatsu’s compact car engineering skills. For Initial D fans, think of the Suzuki Cappucino that you saw going against Takumi.
This new concept is longer and wider than the original Daihatsu Copen and it boasts a newly developed 1.5 litre DVVT engine.

Any info on the engine specs? Want to install one inside my P2 for experiment.
I thought it look like a Beetle!
that will b good if p2 come whit this car. this car come whit turbo type only.
8555: I think it looks more like the VW Beetle…
I would have to agree that Copen ZZ looks very much like the Beetle with hints of the TT. Check out the joint lines between the body and the bumpers, front and rear, just like the Beetle's. Also, the design of the boot and and hood are just like the Beetle's. And of course the mini rollover bars for the seats are copied off the TT.
The Same based car had 660cc engine and it was already been sold in Japan! This ZZ has 1.5l engine!! Wow, wish to see the engine room and space on this model. Should be very COMPACT lei!
** Drooling **
Paul: can you please confirm that for toyota, lexus and daihatsu: Are they categorizing their market as:
Lexus – luxury car
Toyota – 1 liter and above cars
Daihatsu – small to medium cars
Is this statement true?
Perodua Coupe?????
will it be???
P2 coupe.. i think we still need to wait for few more years..
this car won't see the light of the day as a perodua. i asked mbm resources if they would consider perodua making it. he said it's unlikely, as the volume is unlikely to be viable. i wonder if any CBU importers are getting this car into the country….
dam son, and u guys said the savvy sucked? this is one of the ugliest car i have ever seen.
I have seen the real one on the road, this car had a HARD top not soft type, it seems the photos look much better than Actual car. Funny lei? Anyway it is still look UGLY, Sorry not my taste too!! Hate the look!

This car was first on show in 1999, long time before 350Z was about. The name was concieved through that it can be a convertible and a open top hense the name copen
I can confirm this car has an electric hard top roof. That takes about 25seconds to go up or down.
dude this concept has different wheelarch styling to the normal Copen.. and about the name i was referring to the 'ZZ' part..
suck!
I love the YRV more.
