The all-new 2020 Tanaka Akuma
Tanaka Akuma S shown in Metallic Black
The time has come for a new generation. Times have change and Tanaka has been left behind just by a little bit. But that is about to change, because the new 3rd generation Akuma is here.
Design

The front is a completely new design language. The designers at Tanaka wants to have an aggressive but a professional look. The front of the Akuma clearly shows that. The headlights are thin with a curved black line that follows the shape of the car connecting the two headlights. These, combined with the large side vents make this car a looker.
As for the sides, the side profile is quite clean. The lack of a visible vent on the sides contributes to the cleanliness. Here, you can notice the black strip on the bottom part. There is a vent hidden behind the black bar. There is a scoop on each sides of the car to take in air to cool the engine. The overall shape of the Akuma is smooth.
The rear of the car goes compliments the front of the car, smooth yet aggressive. This way, the Akuma looks professional. At the diffuser, there is a rear fog light which is mandatory in Europe. However, it also makes the Akuma look more sporty.
At the roof, there is a bubble top. It is there to differentiate this car from others. Not only that, but it gives extra space for tall people with helmets to be comfortable and not hitting this roof.
Technicals
Here is the bare chassis of the Akuma. As you can see, there is the carbon-fibre tub with aluminium tubes going around the car. This new chassis is now 20% stiffer than its predecessor. This is also the first Akuma to have all-round pushrod suspension to stretch its handling capabilities. The 4.7 litre twin-turbocharged V8 is connected to a 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle. The Akuma is of course, an AWD-only vehicle.
