Daihatsu FC凸DECK concept gives everyone the finger



Japanese kei cars may be defined by their small size, but we know and love them more for their wacky shapes and names. And the all-new Daihatsu FC凸DECK nails all three. Heading for a debut in a few weeks at the Tokyo Motor Show, this diminutive concept grabbed our attention not only with its quasi cab-over semi-truck styling but also its snicker-worthy name, which includes a symbol resembling a stylized hand flipping the bird.

The fuel-cell-powered FC凸DECK, which is probably intended to be called the FC Deck (at least based on the name of the 2011 FC Case), is about a foot longer but eight inches narrower than a Scion iQ. We expect to learn more about the FC凸DECK in a few weeks when it's introduced, but between the eight cars unveiled at the Indonesia International Motor Show back in September and the three cars on display in Tokyo, Daihatsu is proving that it isn't just FC'ing around.

Commercial/industrial use vehicle? 8" narrower than an iQ definitely makes it a one-seater, and the seating position combined with the extremely large greenhouse all point towards a vehicle that would be used in an environment requiring high visibilty. Airport use maybe?

Its Kei car narrow, unlike iQ which is pretty wide... so it has 2 seats.

The more I learn about that bizarre little cabover, the more I like it. Considering that it is a test bed for their liquid fuel cell and generator powered vehicle quasi-possibly-***-reality initiative 140 on the speedo(even km/hr) is quite ambitious. Let me have one with a 3 cyl turbodiesel and a 5th wheel for a custom trailer(c'mon you KNOW that thing is begging for a reproduction of the trailer from smokey & the bandit), and I'd happily drive the hell outta that thing.
