The Mitsubishi Minica GSS spun up 38hp from less than 360cc - making it more powerful per cubic inch than nearly anything else produced for the the road at the the time. Even the Ferrari Daytona.

Despite their tiny size, the Minicas used a traditional FR layout, with the tiny inline twin up front. With 38hp they really would fly!

Love that they gave a quarter mile time instead of the time to reach 60.

I would guess because Kei cars had a national speed limit of 50mph it didn’t make much sense to list a 0-60 time. According to what I can find 0-60 took 17 seconds.

For what it is, that’s not terrible.

It brings it about in line with the “big” Japanese compacts of the era - in its own class it would have been blistering.

When Honda released the N360 in 1967 with a whopping 32hp, they started a kei car power war. Subaru responded first with a 25hp and 36hp option on the 360, Mitsubishi came out with a 34 and 38hp option, and Daihatsu conquered all with a 40hp option. Which makes the Daihatsu Fellow Max SS the most powerful car per cubic inch of any road going production vehicle of its era. Which is both amazing, and very silly.
