1998 Shimutshibu Moonchaser by Marcus_gt500

For the evolution of the previous car, the Focer name was dropped, as it stayed with the sedan, and the sports coupe received a full reworking, now sporting a 1.7l B4 engine, but still being FWD.

Shimutshibu Apex by Marcus_gt500

In 1994, Shimutshibu (The same manufacturer that we worked for on the Enula Mocca project) desired to have a revival at the light, FR, 2 seater sports car market. After a year of hard work, the Apex was released. A kei car, respecting all the regulations, and still delivering old school driving emotion through a turbo 660cc engine, coupled with a manual gearbox, a rare sight on the kei marked, and RWD. Great suspension dynamics, and a open top as standart, with a long hoof coupe optional.

Shimutshibu Apex Klassik by Marcus_gt500

There was also a Klassik version, that had the same powertrain, but with looks straight from the 60's. This version was loved by woman and older people, who would like to have a classic car, without the trouble of maintaining a classic car. It's still a very sought after used car, and frequently seen on track days.

This is a Apex sports coupe witch was prepared for track days, receiving a V8 made from 2 superbike engines. A wild beast on the track!

Here’s a more sane Apex Klassik tuned again for track days, with a inline 4 swap

Shimutshibu 34 by Marcus_gt500

The Shimutshibu 35 is one of the brands' first kei car. With lightweight construction and a dead simple and reliable I3 powertrain, it was the ride of choice for a good chunk of Japan's population for it's 6 years of production, and a template for the kei cars produced in the years to come.
