Searching for a teeny-tiny featherweight roadster that isn’t a Mazda MX-5? Here’s an alternative, and no, your eyes do not deceive you: Beneath the wide arches and negatively cambered wheels lies the adorable heart of a Copen GR Sport. No, really, it’s in there.
The work of Liberty Walk, naturally, this Scrappy Doo overhaul includes a set of thick-spoked 16-inch alloys, a meatier quad-exhaust, and a sleek new rear wing, all done to transform this adorable weekend toy into the ultimate Friday-night Shibuya Crossing head-turner.
The turbo three-pot puts out 63hp and 92Nm of torque as standard, but since this Copen gains an HKS air intake and blow-off valve, we think there’s a wee bit more urgency in its little lungs. Bigger brakes and an aftermarket suspension are also thrown in to keep the angry pupper steady.

You get some red coloring inside to contrast the smoked gray exterior, a better audio system, and a turbo gauge. Because who doesn’t want a turbo gauge in their jumped-up Copen?
Pricing hasn’t been disclosed, but given that Liberty Walk’s ‘stock car’ inventory is listed by price, and that this car is positioned between another Copen (at £24,000 or around P1.74 million) and a Skyline (at £16k or approximately P1.16 million), an offer within that region should suffice.
This or an MX-5?
