1995 Daihatsu FX-21

The Daihatsu FX-21 is a concept car that was unveiled at the 1995 Tokyo Car Show. At the time, the company was now more than one-third owned by Toyota, which meant the designers had been sharing notes. The FX-21 was designed to be a mini-car for the 21st Century, with a 1-liter three-cylinder air-cooled engine in the rear. That's very reminiscent of the Volkswagen Beetle.


The styling is somewhat odd given the air scoops in front of the rear wheels. Yes, the engine is air-cooled, but they belong on a sportscar and not a supermini.
