Daihatsu Cast Tokyo Auto Salon 2016
The
Daihatsu Cast is the latest kei car offered by the marque exclusively for the
Japanese market.
Now, just ahead of the Tokyo Auto Salon,
three aggressive concept versions have been revealed and they certainly give
the tiny five-door an entirely new level of flair.
The first model has been
dubbed the Cast Sport Race Specification. The
car has been painted white and installed with a bright red windscreen and red
wide windows. The red theme continues with the front grille and air intakes,
gloss wheels with polished chrome outer rims, wing mirrors and even dark red
A-, B- and C-pillars.
The front end is particularly crazy due
to the extended bumper and the three horizontal strips of LED daytime running
lights on each side. There are also dedicated fog lights and bolt on flared
wheel arches. A bespoke set of side skirts have also been fitted.
The second car is the 'Cast
Sport D-Sport Specification'. While not as crazy to look at as the Race
Specification with its less-flashy yellow and black paint, it is noteworthy
thanks to its tuned suspension setup, bucket seats and even a sports muffler.
The last is the 'Cast Active Off-Road
Specification', created to show off the versatility of the car. Most
significantly, the car's been installed with a set of large off-road tyres on
custom 15-inch wheels. A bolder front grille is also present as are larger
round fog lights and a skid plate at the bottom of the bumper. A roofbox
finishes off the package as does the dark green paint job.
