The internet is full of AI-generated dream cars, but the chubby little R32 Skyline GT-R filling feeds this week is not a render. It is a fully drivable kei car, shrunk to cartoon scale yet packed with real bodywork, real hardware, and a very real sense of humor. Built in Japan and unveiled at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon, it turns a humble city runabout into what fans are already calling “Baby Godzilla.”
Instead of relying on pixels, Japanese tuners have taken cutting tools to sheet metal to create a pocket-sized homage to the Nissan Skyline legend. The result looks like a 1:1 Hot Wheels experiment that escaped the metaverse, but every flare, vent, and wing is bolted to a production chassis that can be bought, modified, and driven on actual roads.
From Suzuki Twin to “Baby Godzilla”
At the heart of the project is a Suzuki Twin, a tiny two-seat Suzuki kei car that started life as an extra small commuter, even offered with hybrid power. Japanese body-kit specialist Rocket Bunny saw that stubby footprint as the perfect canvas for a caricatured R32 Skyline GT-R, turning the Twin into something that looks adorable and aggressive at the same time. The nickname “Baby Godzilla” fits, because the car borrows the boxy stance and signature graphics of the original Nissan Skyline while standing barely chest high to an adult.
The conversion is not a simple reskin. Schematics for the project show that Not Just a Concept, the build requires considerable cutting and fabrication to reshape the Suzuki Twin into a squat widebody. The new creation from bodywork specialist Rocket Bunny packs a full aero package, deep front bumper, and exaggerated rear wing that cram big-car drama into a tiny frame. Even as it is, this tiny scrapper is described as being packed with attitude, the kind of thing that makes onlookers watch out for their ankles as it rolls by.
Pocket Bunny kit and the “Choro-Q” aesthetic
The body transformation comes from a dedicated widebody package called Pocket Bunny, created by Pandem Rocket Bunny and Takahashi Jun specifically for the Suzuki Twin. The Pocket Bunny kit turns the stock kei car into a baby R32 GT-R replica, with every panel either redesigned or reshaped to mimic the Skyline’s lines in miniature. According to Thanos Pappas, the front fascia, hood, fenders, and rear end all carry cues from the original R32, yet they sit over the Twin’s ultra short wheelbase, which exaggerates the proportions even further.
That cartoonish stance has led fans to dub the car a “Choro-Q” R32, a nod to the squat Japanese pull-back toys. Social clips show enthusiasts saying they Absolutely love this baby Choro-Q R32 GT-R built by @junhardcoretokyo and @trakyoto, calling it the lowest horsepower GT-R they have ever seen. Coverage of the Tokyo Auto Salon highlights the R32 Skyline GT-R “Choro-Q” by Hardcore Tokyo as one of four kei cars turned into mini JDM legends, confirming that the parts are available for purchase rather than being a one-off showpiece.
Tokyo Auto Salon star and social media phenomenon
The debut of the Pocket Bunny Skyline at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon instantly turned it into a crowd magnet. Rocket Bunny turned heads at the show by going small instead of chasing ever wilder horsepower numbers, presenting what some captions call the Rocket Bunny “Skyline GT-R” built from a Nissan of nothing more than a kei car shell. One post jokes that, if you can even call it Nissan of course, the result still channels the spirit of Godzilla through cultural references and advancements in body-kit design, underlining how much of car culture now lives in aesthetics as much as performance.
On social media, the reaction has been immediate and intense. One viral reel notes that Everyone is going gaga over this mini R32 from @junhardcoretokyo and @trakyoto, calling it “so cute!! Kawaii!” and warning that anyone who does not get the joke is missing the point. Another clip introduces it with the line Godzilla‘s Baby, framing the Pocket Bunny R32 as one of Rocket Bunny’s most creative kits to date. A separate post from the show floor describes the Rocket Bunny “Skyline GT” as a build that spreads through cultural references, while a caption elsewhere simply calls the miniature Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R as Miniature Nissan Skyline that is as Adorable as It Is Awesome.
Real kit, real money, real future
Despite its meme-ready looks, the Pocket Bunny project is not a digital fantasy or a one-off art car. Reporting confirms that the tiny R32 GT-R is real and that enthusiasts will be able to buy the kit. The creators behind this build are Pandem Rocket Bunny, who describe the Pocket Bunny as a way to turn the Suzuki Twin into a mini-Godzilla that still works as a city car. A detailed breakdown notes that the Japanese tuner Rocket Bunny has built an R32 Skyline-inspired widebody kit for the short-lived Suzuki Twin and that it will be available to order soon, putting this once-internet-only shape within reach of dedicated fans.
The project also reflects how quickly a niche build can jump from show stand to global talking point. One feature on Baby Godzilla notes that the Japanese team behind it reportedly completed the transformation in as little as two weeks, while another analysis by Thanos Pappas emphasizes that the build is rooted in a very big sense of humor as much as craftsmanship. For a generation used to scrolling past AI renderings of impossible machines, the Pocket Bunny R32 stands out precisely because it exists in metal, rubber, and glass, ready to terrorize parking lots and photo feeds alike.
Even the way it is framed online underlines that blend of reality and play. One caption teasing the car at Tokyo Auto Salon jokes that, can even call it Nissan of course, the Rocket Bunny Skyline still captures the essence of the R32. Another reel introduces the Pocket Bunny R32 with a swipe prompt that reads Rocket Bunny Debuts Pocket Bunny R32 Swipe, inviting viewers to flip through angles like a digital configurator even though the car is parked on a real show floor. For anyone still doubting, the flood of clips where Kawaii comments stack up and enthusiasts shout out the build proves that this tiny Skyline is not AI trickery. It is a fully realized, road-going punchline that happens to be one of the most inventive tributes to the R32 GT-R yet.
As the buzz grows, coverage has started to frame the project as part of a broader trend of shrinking JDM icons. One roundup of kei-based customs highlights the R32 Skyline GT-R “Choro-Q” Adorable build By Hardcore Tokyo on the Suzuki Twin as proof that small platforms can carry big nostalgia. Another feature on the Suzuki Twin stresses how much fun has been packed into its small frame, while a separate analysis of the Doing the conversion underlines the serious fabrication work behind the joke. In an era where AI can conjure any fantasy Skyline on screen, the Pocket Bunny R32 GT-R stands out precisely because it is 100 percent real, and that reality might be the most surreal thing about it.
