And it’ll be all-electric, too.

Start with the i-MiEV’s rear subframe and powertrain. Take the front subframe too, it’ll do for this.

Put a low, long slab of battery. 30 kWh will probably do, more if you can get away with it.

Put a low-slung coupe body on it, and give it gullwing doors. Stay within kei car dimensions, though.

You’re welcome.

(Yes, I know, three people would buy it, and they wouldn’t sell it in the US, so I wouldn’t be one of those three. But I can dream, can’t I?)

I’m pretty sure a 30kw battery would take up a ton of space in KEI dimensions as a low slung slab. - Kei owner.

I’m thinking at 1/1.5 the width, and 1/2 the length of a Model S battery, you’d be at 33 kWh, and that should fit in a skateboard platform I’m thinking.
