FactThe Shahin rides on a platform Iran claims as its first-ever, fully home-designed vehicle architecture — even though it reportedly started life as a reworked Toyota Yaris platform.
The Saipa Shahin (codename SP100), unveiled in 2018 as the Roham before its 2020 rename and December 2020 mass-production start, is a compact C-segment sedan built on the SAIPA SP1 platform — Iran's first domestically developed platform, an upgraded Toyota B-platform derivative — and related to the Saipa Aria crossover. Its turbocharged 1.5-litre M15TC four makes 110 hp (112 PS) and 131 lb-ft; a naturally-aspirated ME16 four was also offered. Front engine, front-wheel drive, 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic; wheelbase 2,650 mm (104.3 in), length 4,460 mm (175.6 in), width 1,768 mm (69.6 in), height 1,501 mm (59.1 in), curb weight 1,260-1,330 kg (2,778-2,932 lb).

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 G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
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.
