Prior to the Tokyo
Auto Salon kicking off in the second week of January, Daihatsu has unveiled a
plethora of special show cars which are sure to send the Kei-car loving crowds
into a frenzy.
Kicking off the range
of Daihatsu models on show will be a trio that includes two tiny Mira
hatchbacks and a minivan. The first, dubbed the Daihatsu Mira Totto Activ Ver,
is painted in a light shade of blue and has been designed with a mix of rugged
appeal and inner-city practicality.
Premiering
alongside this vehicle is the Mira Tocot Elegant Ver which has a much more
simple white paint scheme and sporty wheels. The Daihatsu Hatsune Miku Limited
Package will be displayed alongside the two Mira models and is painted in a mix
of light blue and white.
Alongside this
trio, there is the Thor Premium van, Boom Elegant, and two different Hijet
trucks, one of which has been customized as the perfect vehicle for storing and
displaying fruits and vegetables.
During the Tokyo Auto
Salon, Daihatsu will also present the Copen Coupe to the world for the first
time. Released online a few days ago, this vehicle uses a carbon fiber
reinforced plastic roof and will be limited to just 200 examples.
As eye-catching and
cute as all these vehicles are, it is a restored Daihatsu P5 racing car from
1968 that’s sure to turn the most heads. The car has a paint scheme combining
yellow, red, and white, and secured 3rd position in the 1968 Japan Grand Prix.
