Proto type model(1960?)
K-0

Two K-0 were made.
Planners Tried to make more more cheaper than SUBARU360.
280cc front engine front drive ,3 seater.
But in fact,couldn't cut enough cost.
So this car wasn't selled.



Proto type model(1965)
65D

This car evolved into SUBARU R-2.
Looks like SUBARU360 and R-2.

Called "Daisha"

Daisha is Japanese.means base car.
