The Suzuki Jimny, known for its off-road prowess and adorable design, is getting a charming makeover! Japanese tuner DAMD has unveiled a new body kit called the "Little 5," taking inspiration from none other than the iconic Renault 5 Turbo. This exciting creation adds a touch of French flair and rally spirit to the beloved off-roader.
A Playful Homage to the Renault 5 Turbo:
The "Little 5" kit instantly evokes the Renault 5 Turbo with its distinct rectangular headlights and matching grille. Amber fog lights further enhance the resemblance, leaving no doubt about the inspiration behind this unique transformation.
But DAMD adds a touch of humor with the "Non Turbo" label playfully displayed on the sides, a cheeky reminder of the Jimny's true powerplant. To complete the playful transformation, a sporty spoiler sits atop the rear door, adding a hint of aerodynamic flair.
More Than Just Looks:
While the visual transformation is undeniable, the "Little 5" is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. It represents a passionate homage to a legendary rally car, blending its playful spirit with the Jimny's rugged personality. It's a unique combination that celebrates the history of motorsport while injecting a dose of fun and personality into the off-roader.
Beyond the Tokyo Auto Salon:
Whether the "Little 5" kit will see production beyond the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon remains to be seen. However, one thing's clear: DAMD has delivered a visually striking and historically significant tribute to the Renault 5 Turbo. They have sparked conversations about the possibilities of car customization and cultural influences, leaving car enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this exciting story.
