FactThe four-seat Subaru 360 stole buyers so fast that Mazda rushed out the four-seat Carol just two years after the R360.
The R360 was Mazda's first passenger car, a 2+2 kei coupé made from May 1960. To keep it light and cheap it used an aluminium engine, aluminium and magnesium alloys in the chassis and acrylic rear and side windows, and weighed 380 kg. A rear-mounted air-cooled 356 cc V-twin of 16 PS drove the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual (KRBB) or a 2-speed "TORQ DRIVE" automatic (KRBC). It sold 23,417 in its first year and 65,737 in all; full production ran to 1966, with the automatic built to special order for disabled drivers until 1969.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
