Suzuki Misano Concept | Uncrate

Suzuki builds motorcycles and cars, and the two forms of transportation have cross-pollinated each other throughout the company’s history. That makes the Misano concept something near and dear to Suzuki’s heart — a small, lightweight roadster that takes Italian design and mixes it with motorcycle DNA. The diminutive concept has all the hallmarks of a real, fanciful concept car: an open cockpit, motorcycle-style steering yoke, a passenger seat behind the driver, and a battery pack, presumably making the Misano an EV. The car is the result of a design thesis by 24 students at the Istituto Europeo di Design Torino, and while it won’t see production, it is nice to see a concept that is more than just a thinly-veiled production car.
