Tokyo '09: Suzusho Supasse-V with 270HP MazdaSpeed3 Turbo Engine
One of the less known - if at all - small Japanese carmakers, Suzusho, unveiled its latest creation at this year's Tokyo Motor Show, the lightweight Supasse-V. The strange-looking sports car with the scissor doors that reminds us of the Lotus Elise in philosophy is powered by a midship-mounted, specially tuned version of the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the MazdaSpeed3 producing around 270 horsepower. All that grunt is sent to the rear wheels through a Mazda-sourced six-speed manual gearbox. More photos after the jump.
