R360 Coupe, first Mazda 2-door passenger car.




The R360 Coupe had four seats and was powered by a 356cc air-cooled 16-horsepower engine. Thanks to comprehensive weight savings, it achieved fuel economy of 32km/liter. The model range included a version with an automatic transmission. At just 300,000 yen, the R360 Coupe brought the dream of owning a car within the reach of salaried workers, and in December 1960 alone, 4,090 units were bought by eager customers.
