Smallest Cars DRAG RACE

Kei vehicle drag race let's goooooo!

We've got our hands on 5 Japanese Kei and trucks, and these micro devices will go head-to-head over the quarter-mile to see which is quickest!

Lining up we have a Copen, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Alto Works, Suzuki Coffee and a !

For those not in the know, Kei vehicles (known by numerous as Japanese city and trucks or Japanese microcars) are the tiniest road-legal vehicles with limited dimensions and engine capacity. As a result, all five automobiles included a 660cc 3-cylinder turbo engine, and they all produce 64hp!

The torque & weight figures do differ slightly, though. For instance, the Copen has the most torque, at 108Nm, while the only has 75Nm!

You know what time it is … LET'S RACE!

    Correction: kei cars are not legally limited in horsepower, only in displacement. The 64hp is merely a sort of gentlemen’s agreement that none of the manufacturers really stuck to anyway

      @Sir Bini That 64hp is actually regulated. But a tune can change things off course, especially with the turbo cars.

      @Purwanti Allan what’s a mini Cooper one?
      Is this a mini hatch one? Or is there a different version I’ve missed?
      The one can’t be a Cooper. Otherwise next in line would be a mini Cooper Cooper followed by and Mini Cooper Cooper S

      Hey Mat, when yianni recieved his new urus, I want you to drag race that with new X6M on dyno and wrong way. I don’t think X6M is 625 hp. Poor yianni lost the drag race with his urus against X6M so you should bring bmw on dyno to reveal the truth.

      0:44 Matt states 660cc turbocharged 65l4hp engines and then procedes to show us a 1998cc k20 naturally aspirated engine in a DC5 with 220hp. What??? 2000cc or 660cc? Turbocharger or natutally aspirated? 64hp or 220hp?

      In Japan they still do but less of the sporty stuff. You can technically still get a newer Copen as well as Honda S660 if you’re not fancying older cars. There’s also the Alto still around.

      Reason why these cars aren’t the stuff everywhere? Other countries have enough space for bigger cars to run free, so kei sized cars aren’t that useful.

  13. Necron00b Avatar

    Honestly, car companies should make more cars like this, low weight, tiny engines but make them look like older super/rally cars…perfect starter cars, money savers..and a bit of a laugh to drive. haha

    1. Les nuits sans Kim Wilde Avatar
      Les nuits sans Kim Wilde

      In some way I agree but those little cars were actually quite expensive and as a everyday car a modern mx5 is probably a much better car. The honda S660 weights about 830 kg which is not that light considering how small the car and engine are. A 2020 Suzuki Swift 1.0 BoosterJet 111 is just a few dozen kilos heavier (865).
      I really wanted toyota to build the S-FR which was a smaller, more affordable mx-5 like coupe (still bigger than a kei car) but it looks like it will never happen.

    2. Big duphus AJ Avatar
      Big duphus AJ

      You can easily tune these to decent power too. I’ve seen the Alto thing beat an older 1.8t TT and all it had was a chip and I think the turbo cartridge had been changed to one from like a 1.9 jtd from a Vectra sri or a mondo tdi I’m sure. It was just some ‘scrap yard special’ parts on it and it was beating 200bhp stuff no problem too.

    3. Les nuits sans Kim Wilde Avatar
      Les nuits sans Kim Wilde

      @Big duphus AJ You can always boost an turbo engine but it’s at the expense of everyday use (turbo lag, mileage, reliability).
      Around 100hp seems to be the sensible number for these tiny engines. It’s enough for that kind of cars actually. At one time there were talks about an european version of the S660 with a 1000cc engine but it never arrived.

    4. Big duphus AJ Avatar
      Big duphus AJ

      @Les nuits sans Kim Wilde i dunno mate this thing never had any lag it audiably boosted right away, I think the cartridge it was fitted with might have needed clipped down I’m not sure but either way the little engine had no issues spooling it whatsoever and this was more like 150bhp at least. It was smashing all the 200-250bhp stuff it whooped an e46 330 and I mean whooped it.
      Sorry mate I reposted this as I’d written e36 rather than e46

    5. Big duphus AJ Avatar
      Big duphus AJ

      @Les nuits sans Kim Wilde I’m pretty sure it was a clipped down cartridge from a vectra 1.9 cdti Sri or a mondao TDi red badge, I actually had both of them back in the day so cannot remember which one he said now. I vaguely remember him say it was a cartridge from the honeywell turbo whichever one that was and the cartridge itself got removed and sent away then rehoused in the full snail on the hotside as it was originally a cartridge into the manifold housing.

    The Copen suddenly being able to hit 100mph was absolutely hilarious; of course it would be on the braking test πŸ˜‚

      @Alan According to the AZ-1 owner, the cappuccino was stuck on 6 psi of boost. I don’t think it would’ve won anyway, since it’s way more draggy than the AZ-1, but it should have been a lot closer.

      @Alan exactly I own a stock cappy as well, it’ll spin tires off the line from 4k rpm and hit the limiter easy cruising in 5th. The cappy driver also said he was having clutch issues

      @Jamie Peterson yep it’s my car. I returned it to stock for the shoot and stupidly didn’t test it. Was making 0.35 bar not 0.8 so basically did the whole thing NA. It was a simple fix but didn’t get a chance until after the shoot. I only have myself to blame

    5. Graeme Warnes Avatar
      Graeme Warnes

      @Andy Panda I mean any publicity is good publicity. I’m just so annoyed at myself for not once testing it beforehand. I spent a weekend returning it to stock and the next taking it up for the shoot on a trailer. I should have tested it but just didn’t expect the boost controller to be the issue. I actually hoped it had just broken as at least I would have been able to justify it but no it was my screw up.
