Sakamoto's Suzuki Cappuccino

Sakamoto's Suzuki Cappuccino (EA11R) is a car purchased by the members of the Northern Saitama Alliance for use by the rally driver Sakamoto.

History
After their battles with Project D, the car club that Nobuhiko Akiyama and Kyoko Iwase were a part of joins with another team to become the Northern Saitama Alliance. Nobuhiko uses the knowledge that he gained during his race with Takumi Fujiwara to figure out a plan to beat him. He hires Sakamoto, a professional rally driver, and purchases him a Suzuki Cappuccino, a Kei Car lighter than Takumi's Eight-Six.

On the night of the battle there is a heavy downpour, with the rain evening the playing field between the two cars. Sakamoto starts the race in the lead, aiming to win the battle as quick as possible. Takumi manages to keep up with Sakamoto, although barely, with him nearly admitting defeat early in the race. Takumi starts to emulate one of Kyoichi Sudo's techniques, allowing him to shorten the gap between the two cars. Takumi tries to overtake Sakamoto twice, nearly crashing his car on the second attempt, allowing Sakamoto to regain his briefly lost lead. Takumi attempts to pass again in the final straightaway, however Sakamoto blocks him. To circumvent this, Takumi performs a Blind Attack, preventing Sakamoto from blocking him effectively as the size of his car leaves him unable to block a majority of the road. Takumi passes and wins the battle.

Specs
The car is a Suzuki Cappuccino, chassis code EA11R. It is painted Cordova Red.
