Daihatsu shows OFC-1 at Frankfurt Show - COPEN replacement ?

[Alveron2001]

Daihatsu showcased the new mini roadster model at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Sept.

 

Looks really nice... I'd take it over the Copen any day... The 3 piece liquid crystal roof that folds into the boot is especially cool.

 

Hope it make production fast.

 

Oh yeah.... It's still a Kei car.. meaning 660cc Turbo.

 

 

------------------------------------------------

A future replacement for the Copen, perhaps? Daihatsu has created a concept called OFC-1 hinting very strongly at its next-generation mini-roadster.

 

The three-piece glass roof, featuring a liquid-crystal sunroof, opens in less than 10 seconds and leaves enough boot space to accommodate a pair of overnight bags. It features 'a high-performance turbo engine', says Daihatsu, and a CVT gearbox with seven-speed sequential-shift mode and paddleshifts, yet excellent fuel economy is promised. Electronically controlled adaptive suspension and four-wheel disc brakes aid handling, safety and comfort, and the OFC-1 sits on 17" wheels with 165/50R sports tyres.
