As we have already seen this year’s Tokyo Motor Show is all about domestic automakers. So far it has been mainly about green concepts, but there are exceptions and one of these is a kit-car builder Suzusho.

Next week this little Japanese automaker will introduce a Lotus Exige fighter called Supasse V. Similarly to Lotus the car is all about low weight - just 850 kg.

With such weight you don’t need big and powerful engines. Power comes from a tuned 2.3-liter turbo engine from the Mazda3 MPS that produces 270 horsepower.

Not bad at all. Rumor is that Supasse V will go on sale next summer with prices starting from $50,000.
