Daihatsu D-X Concept

The Daihatsu D-X is a study of a lightweight compact sportscar featuring a two-cylinder engine, an essential interior and a resin body.

Presented at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the Daihatsu D-X Concept takes some inspiration from the brand’s Copen model.

The D-X (“d-cross”) is equipped with a small 2-cylinder turbocharged engine with direct injection.

The resin-based body allows to have different varians of the car – envisioned in the official renderings.

These include the “base” roadster, a racing-oriented barchetta, a closed coupé and an original shooting-brake like version.

The exterior is characterized by the plastic bumpers, sills and wheel-arches that surround the entire vehicle, conveying a rugged image and providing a visual contrast with the colored panels of the hood, doors and trunk lid.

The interior, which has not been unveiled, is claimed to be quite essential, which underlines the focus on driving fun and allows the use of the cur under any condition.
