Takahashi Ju and Pandem Rocket Bunny took a Suzuki Twin and wrapped it in a full widebody kit that reads like a shrunken, turbo-hungry R32 GT-R. The setup includes a genuine aero package with functional ducting, not the usual mall-crawler bolt-ons. This is what happens when builders respect scale and proportion instead of just bolting parts on.

This neglected 97cc two-stroke single spent decades in Ohio storage before finding new hands in 2025. Numbers matching, dual-range four-speed, and that metallic dark red finish that screams mid-70s Japanese pragmatism. The TC-100 is where Suzuki proved you didn't need displacement to make something worth owning.

Wheel design separates the thoughtful builds from the poseurs. Team-BHP dove into factory alloys across platforms—Golf GTI's Spielvogel designs, IS300's BBS-adjacent work, Camry's overlooked restraint—and the discussion reveals how OEM engineers understood proportion in ways modern trend-chasing rarely does. Clean examples are getting harder to source.

Toyota's playing the badge-engineering game in India with the Urban Cruiser EV, a cosmetically tweaked version of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara hitting dealers next month. It's a midsize electric SUV that'll compete directly against Mahindra's offerings in a market where platform-sharing is the only way to move volume. Same bones, different grille—the OEM playbook nobody asked for.
