Nope, these photos aren’t warped, the cute and compressed R32 bodykit you see is 100% real, and is sold by Pandem Rocket Bunny for P561,000. The vehicle underneath the kit is a Suzuki Twin, a kei car that already looks like a children’s toy.
The bodykit transforms the ultra-compact hatchback into a mini R32 Skyline GT-R. The kit comes with a hood, a front bumper and a front lip, headlights, headlight covers, widebody fenders, side skirts, a rear bumper, rear wing, and a trunk with the GT-R’s iconic circular taillights. Switch out the stock mirrors and wheels for an aftermarket set, and you’re good to go.
The Suzuki Twin is powered by a three-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It makes 43hp and 57Nm of torque. While that isn’t a lot by modern standards, the Twin only weighs around 570kg.

But power is beside the point, this setup really isn’t for racing, it’s for enjoyment. Driving a car that looks like a mini R32 would already have you smiling ear to ear. Even more so if you’re revving out each gear while staying within sensible speeds and out of trouble.
Aside from the ‘Pocket Bunny’ R32, Pandem Rocket Bunny also has an R34 kit for the Twin. Getting both won’t be so easy, though, because while the bodykits are available on Pandem Rocket Bunny’s website, the Twin was only sold in Japan, with a short production life of three years from 2003 to 2005.
The smallest vehicle available in the Philippines with a Pandem Rocket Bunny is the Mazda MX-5, and while that could still be a ‘cute’ car, it isn’t quite as adorable as a bubbly kei car dressed up as Godzilla. Which car-meet spot would you pull up to in a Pocket Bunny R32? Let us know in the comments.
