The Suzuki Cappuccino is a small 2-door hard top convertible produced by Suzuki Motor Corporation. The vehicle was designed to meet Kei car specifications for lower tax and insurance in Japan. The Cappuccino is powered by a 657cc engine (just under the 660cc maximum displacement allowed for a Kei car). Its dimensions also conformed to Kei car regulations on length and width, being 3,295mm long and 1,395mm wide.
It was originally equipped with the F6A engine: later models were fitted with a K6A engine which was lighter and had chain-driven, rather than belt-driven, camshafts. Both are DOHC 12-valve, inline 3-cylinder engines that were turbocharged and intercooled. Power output was a claimed 63hp (47 kW) for Kei car purposes but it actually made much more.[citation needed]
The Cappuccino featured 4-wheel disc brakes, double wishbone suspension and rear wheel drive. Production began in 1991 and ceased in 1997. The Cappuccino's closest competitor of the time was the Honda Beat and the Daihatsu Leeza Spyder.

In Initial D Fourth Stage, the Northern Saitama Alliance raced a red Cappuccino (with Sakamoto as its driver) in a desperate attempt to defeat Project D's Takumi Fujiwara and his Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86. The Cappuccino had a massive advantage going downhill, but it's lightweight backfired due to the rain.
