- Pocket Bunny kit turns Suzuki Twin into a baby R32 GT-R replica.
- Built by Pandem Rocket Bunny with FRP front and rear bodywork.
- Only the roof, doors, and glass remain from the original car.
What if we told you the most eye-catching GT-R at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon wasn’t even a real Nissan? At first glance, it looks like an AI-generated render, but no, this is a real, physical car with sheet metal, fiberglass, and a very big sense of humor.

What you’re looking at is a Suzuki Twin transformed by the ever-inventive team at Pandem Rocket Bunny, in collaboration with Takahashi Jun and the Saitama-based J Beat Custom Shop. Originally unveiled as a concept in 2002, the Suzuki Twin was a round, rather unassuming kei car. Now, thanks to some clever reimagining, it’s been given a second life as the “Pocket Bunny.”
When Kei Meets Godzilla
The Pocket Bunny doesn’t shy away from its inspiration. It borrows heavily from the legendary R32 Skyline GT-R, but twists the proportions just enough to feel like a caricature come to life. Think GT-R meets Chibi anime. Aside from the doors, greenhouse, and roof, everything else has been redesigned or reshaped. The resemblance to the R32 is uncanny in places, surreal in others.
Pandem’s custom kit replaces the front and rear ends with reinterpreted GT-R cues. The bumpers, hood, fenders, tailgate, and rear wing are all bespoke, scaled to fit the narrower kei chassis. Even the headlights and taillights have been modified to convincingly mimic the originals.
While it retains the Twin’s compact footprint, the silhouette now screams vintage Nissan, just filtered through a funhouse mirror.
To make all these parts work, significant surgery was required. According to the builders, the conversion involves cutting into the original body and sealing the inner fenders. In practical terms, that means the transformation is permanent. Once you commit to the kit, there’s no going back to stock.

The FRP panels look best when combined with new alloy wheels, and a lowered suspension. The show car rides on an electromagnetic air suspension by Airmext Japan. It is also fitted with a roll cage, bucket seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, and an aftermarket infotainment display.
Itsy-Bitsy Power
Performance-wise, the car retains its original 658cc three-cylinder engine, which produced 27 horsepower in its prime. The Twin was available in both standard and hybrid configurations, each driving the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. However, this build may not stay that way for long.
Automotive photographer Larry Chen reports that the team behind the Pocket Bunny plans to install a rotary engine and convert it to rear-wheel drive, an ambitious upgrade that would bring a lot more bite to the bark.
Can You Buy It?
Well, yes and no. As for the body kit itself, it was priced at €3,622 (roughly $4,200), not including paint or installation. At the time of writing, it’s officially listed as sold out, though the company has promised that more will be made available soon. Given the buzz this project has generated, they may want to get moving on that.
