Those who know what the Cappuccino is knows it is a special JDM car. It may as well be a street legal go-kart. It handles exactly like one. Don't let the horsepower numbers fool you. The car weighs roughly 1500lbs and at around 70hp this thing is quick! The turbo kicks in at 3,500rpm and with a redline of 8,500rpm (11,000 with an upgraded ecu) you'll have plenty of range to play with it. Not to mention the gas sipping nature of the F6A engine. I average around 50mpg. Odometer currently reads at 77707 kilometers or 48284 miles. Those worried about whether or not you'll fit, I'll tell you I am 6 foot 4 inches. I fit and drive this car without any issue. I even have a few inches of headroom to spare!

There is however a small crack in the dash, one of the passenger fender vents is slightly damaged, and the plastic cover for the side-marker light on the same side is missing. The car will come with an aftermarket front bumper, rear lip spoiler, and rear bumper lip. All of which were never installed or painted. an Oil filter, the OEM passenger seat and rails, OEM sun visors, and OEM Pioneer Carrozzeria radio will also be included.

You wouldn't think a fat guy would love small cars, but that thing looks like a hoot.

As a normal sized 6'-1" guy with size 13s, I love small cars!

Do I have to be in a position to actually buy the car to take you up on that offer?

Mine is currently in Richmond, Va if anyone local wants to do a size check and make sure they fit before flying and driving this one.  

 

They are cool cars.  Mine parked next to an 80s accord and audi tt for size comparison:

That intercooler is the cutest thing I've ever seen, ever.

I'm 5'-9" and 275, low waisted. Flynlow and I fit comfortably in his at the same time, and it even hauled my fat butt along with some briskness.
