Daihatsu Imagines a Small Concept Car that can Transform into Many Different Models



With the 2011 edition of the Tokyo Motor Show just around the corner, the remaining participating automakers are throwing down their cars.

Toyota-owned Daihatsu has released initial details on a new small concept model named the D-X. What's interesting about the study is that, according to the Japanese maker, it can easily be transformed into four different type of vehicles simply by swapping out parts of its resin-based body.

These include a roadster, a shooting-break-like hatchback, a two-door crossover and a track-racer.

In standard roadster form, the Daihatsu D-X concepts measures 3,395mm long, 1,475mm wide and 1,275mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,230mm.
