Is the engine mounted in front of the driver?
I'm quite sure it is mid-engined, but I don't have exact specs.

The car has the look of the 1968 Daihatsu P-5 about it.  It's not a P-5-inspired 'replica' by Mitsuoka is it?

It is a classic sports coupe project and it is not by Mitsuoka or Daihatsu. No relation to P-5 as well.

Thanks for the question!
It is not. It is intended as a concept model.

So the car is from Japan - I assume both companies are from Japan. One of the companies which participated in this project also made/makes a little microcar. Let's focus on the second company.

Is it engine producer?

Both of them are from Japan. The first one is design & engineering company (quite known one) and the second one is almost unknown design company.

I am just trying to find a relatively well-known Japanese R&D company, which used to make (maybe produces even today) a microcar

I do not know the base. Most probably it is not based on anything or it is not specified.
