The C1000R is the second model under the ‘‘CthousandR’’ family, Saminda said it will be exclusively available in Japanese Domestic Market only.
It’s called C1000R, but it’s not what it looks like
The C2000R is one of the fastest hot hatch in the world and yes it has lots of technology, with just a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine it produces 368bhp and 400nm of torque thanks to it hybrid system, and you might think the C1000R would also have some fancy technology on it right?
Sadly, the rumours of it having a 1.1-liter inline-3 turbocharged engine with hybrid system is false, Saminda said that the C1000R is under Kei car category and it will be strictly under it regulations, so powering the C1000R is just a 660cc 3-cylinder turbocharged engine produces 63bhp, it will be offered in 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT.
Fred not, the C1000R will handles like what a CthousandR should be
‘‘Eventhough the C1000R is a kei car, it has CthousandR blood on it and it will handle like how a CthousandR should be’’ said Tako Nashita, project leader of the C1000R.
Coming soon in Q1 2020
Pricing have not been announced but it will be the most expensive kei car to offer.
