The Copen is an incarnation of Daihatsu’s compact-car technologies, as well as an incarnation of our dreams. And as this car proves, our dreams go on further.
The Copen ZZ is a concept car that has evolved out of our never-ending dreams. As the name implies — “Z” meaning “unknown” — the Copen ZZ is also a study model that further pursues the limitless joy that the Copen embodies.
While maintaining the Copen’s original teardrop shape, the Copen ZZ has an overall length that’s 110 mm longer and an overall width that’s 125 mm wider than the original Copen, and a solid and handsome styling that exudes a strong and determined presence.
The Copen ZZ is powered by a newly developed 1.5-litre DVVT engine that boosts the car’s high performance to the limit. In order to perfect the joy of driving that’s made possible by the Copen’s lightweight and highly rigid body, a special tuned suspension system is employed.
