The performance version of the Mira e:S kei car is fitted with a turbocharged 660cc engine and a five-speed manual gearbox
Daihatsu will showcase the Mira e:S Turbo concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2025. The concept might evolve into a GR-branded version of the kei car for production. Daihatsu 's stand in Tokyo will also include two racecars and four modified kei vans. Daihatsu has announced its lineup for the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon , including a performance-focused version of the Mira e:S with a turbocharged engine and Gazoo Racing emblems.
This may not sound much, but is an improvement over the 48 hp from the naturally-aspirated mill of the standard Mira e:S. Another important change is the placement of a five-speed manual gearbox, instead of the CVT which is the only option in the Mira e:S. Judging from the GR badging, the Mira e:S Turbo will likely feature a sportier chassis setup with input from Toyota's Gazoo Racing department.
