Mazda R360

The R360 was the first passenger car that Mazda built, a very light and inexpensive kei coupe that went on sale in May 1960. It was a two door 2+2 with a rear mounted air cooled 356 cc V twin engine and rear wheel drive, made light with an aluminium engine, aluminium and magnesium alloy in the chassis and acrylic for the curved rear window and sliding side glass. It sold 23,417 cars in its first year and 65,737 in total, and its pickup relatives were the B360 and the B600 for export. This site gives every generation and every model year its own page, in one generation: the single generation (1960 to 1969).
