This rear-wheel-drive minivehicle was
designed to accommodate four adults and cruise at 100km/h on expressways,
which were becoming increasingly more common at the time. Since the launch
of the Suzulight SF in 1955, Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd. (now Suzuki Motor Corp.)
continued with the front-wheel-drive configuration until it adopted rear-wheel-drive
for the Fronte to simplify the structure and improve maneuverability.

In the field of four-wheeled
vehicles, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. initially manufactured sports cars and trucks. In February 1967,
Honda entered the minicar market with the N360, which far outperformed conventional
minicars by established automakers. With the engine placed in the front in
a transverse position, the front-wheel-drive car was within the legal limit of three meters in length. Nevertheless, it boasted the largest interior space
in its class, and produced a respectable maximum speed of 115km/h. |
