Rocket Bunny turns a Suzuki Twin into a Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 'Tooned' widebody

To be clear from the outset: this isn’t even a Nissan Skyline GT-R R32. It’s a Suzuki Twin, and it became the starting point for Rocket Bunny’s latest build.

Rocket Bunny body kits and widebody conversions

The Japanese company is best known for developing body kits-most of them widebody packages that push the car’s stance beyond the factory dimensions.

From Suzuki Twin kei-car to Rocket Bunny “Godzilla” homage

For this project, they began with a Japanese kei-car measuring just 2.735 metres in length-only a little longer than a Smart fortwo-with two seats and a “cult following” for the real wheeled “Godzilla”. The end result is this “toy”.

A “Tooned” Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 look in cartoon proportions

Visually, the Rocket Bunny GT-R looks as if it has driven straight out of a cartoon, both in its proportions and in the bodywork’s exaggerated lines. That fits perfectly, as it taps into one of the more recent trends within Japanese car culture.

The Suzuki Twin’s compact footprint makes it ideal for a Tooned model-essentially a “cartoon character” take on a real car. It’s not the first, and hopefully it won’t be the last. Other memorable examples include Liberty Walk’s Ferrari F40 (based on an Autozam AZ-1), as well as Daihatsu Copen and Honda S660 builds “disguised” as a Nissan GT-R R35 and a Honda NSX, respectively.

If the mechanicals haven’t been touched, the 660 cm³ engine produces 44 cv-worlds apart from the R32’s 280 cv. Drive is sent to the front wheels, although there are plans to convert it to rear-wheel drive.
