FactBYD's first-ever car in its own name, the F3, ran Mitsubishi engines under the hood before BYD built its own from 2011.
The BYD F3, BYD's first vehicle of its own design (launched September 2005), was facelifted in March 2014 with a new grille, headlights, tail lights, bumpers, wheels and mirrors, produced alongside the newer second-generation model until 2021; early cars (2005-2010) had used Mitsubishi 4G-series engines. From 2011 the F3's signature unit was the 1.5-litre BYD473QE four making 107 horsepower, with a turbocharged 1.5-litre BYD476ZQA making 151 horsepower also offered, on a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic. Front engine, front-wheel drive; wheelbase 2,600 mm (102.4 in), width 1,705 mm (67.1 in, 2005-2015), curb weight 1,210 kg (2,668 lb).

Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.

The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
