1955
we are a small and developing company, and this is our first big stride to go forth into the automotive industry
but, we don't have the resources or time to fully design and develop a whole new car by ourselves for the moment.
for this purpose we are trying to get a partnership to help us produce our very first car.
with our to be partner providing the platform, and us fitting our engine and do the final tuning.
what we are looking for (not rules but guidelines of preferences)this is meant to be a car for the Japanese Domestic Market (we're not going multinational yet)
- a body with a lot of trim option going forward
- weight of 700kg or lower (with an engine roughly 110Kgs)
- total cost of around 3500
- production units less than 68
- Release year between 1955-1958
we are looking forward to the option we would have to pick
update: news, we finally have finished our prototype engine are very happy with the results
this is our engine that we will be producing and putting in the car.
