Wikipedia: The Mitsubishi 500 was the first passenger car produced after the Second World War by Shin Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries, Ltd, one of the companies which would become Mitsubishi Motors. Available in 1960 at a cost of ¥390,000, it was powered by a rear mounted, air-cooled 493 cc two-cylinder engine with a single downdraught carburettor producing 20 horsepower (15 kW) at 5000 rpm, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. Buoyed by its sales success, it was given an enlarged 594 cc engine in 1961 for improved acceleration and durability.
