2012 Daihatsu D-R

P.T. Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM), a subsidiary of DAIHATSU MOTOR CO., LTD. (Daihatsu) in Indonesia, plans to exhibit four concept cars, including the UFC, which will be shown for the first time anywhere in the world, and AYLA, which is set to reach the market, along with a range of new technologies at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show to be held from Thursday September 20 to Sunday September 30, 2012 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

For this year's Indonesia International Motor Show, Daihatsu has adopted the slogan "Daihatsu is Best Friend of Life," and will demonstrate Daihatsu's corporate group attitude of offering vehicles suitable for Indonesian life using fuel-efficient, eco-friendly, and affordable technologies for compact cars.

D-R and D-X express surprise and amusement stemming from completely different styles on the same chassis. D-R is stylish and elegant, while D-X is tough and aggressive. A resin-based body whose parts are interchangeable allows owners to enjoy two different styles. The car has a two-cylinder engine with direct-injection turbo. With this engine, Daihatsu has pursued conventional technology and struck a balance between the joy of driving and fuel efficiency. The vehicle offers a driving experience with that sense of oneness between driver and vehicle that only a compact car can provide, as well as a new form for a sports car.

Компания Daihatsu показала концепты компактвэна и двух родстеров, новинки были представлены в ходе моторшоу в Джакарте.

Два представленных компанией компактных родстера получили название D-X и D-R. Дизайн модели D-X выполнен в агрессивном ключе с акцентом на спортивность, а второй родстер имеет визуально увеличенную колею за счет развитых колесных арок, которые покрыты пластиком.

Оба автомобиля созданы на одной платформе и оснащены двухцилиндровым турбомотором объемом 660 кубических сантиметров. Некоторые кузовные панели двух родстеров выполнены на основе каучука и являются взаимозаменяемыми.
