After a long enginiering time (2010-2013), the new Yuso is ready for the sport convertible market.
There wont be a Yuso coupe anymore (because only 5% of the predecessor where coupes).
price: 35000$ (40750$ with all options included)
The Yuso convertible is also clearly a looker; however, there are quite a few issues holding it back. First and foremost, this is a large front-drive car powered by what is essentially a hot hatch engine, and as such, it might not feel like a premium product to drive at all, especially at or near wide-open throttle. Also, a sports interior is not comfortable enough for a premium convertible meant for cruising down Sunset Boulevard. I would have preferred it if it were rear-wheel drive and had at least an extra pair of cylinders. It’s still a beautiful car to behold, though, especially from the front.
Thanks for the suggestions, I wanted it to be a V6 too, but automation wouldn`t let me give it one, because it would have been to big. To the interior thing, you are right when I think about it now, I just gave it a sports interior because its predecessors werent even nearly as premium as it.

2017 Mashimitsu Y6 MaSport wagon!
It is one of the fastest wagons available … only for 85950$ [spoiler](It is cheap if you compare it to a Audi RS6)[/spoiler]
Be special … drive Mashimitsu
new standarts will be set
2017 Mashimitsu Y3 MaSport RS
It is the new top of the Y3 line, and gives it gives all of us a taste of the new Mashimitsu design, beeing the second car that has been designed under our new design team!
To the car itself … it is planed to fight against other hot hatches with the all new 1.8 I4 T engine!
Mashimitsu also announced, that the complete Y3 line will get the new look until january 2018!

It takes balls to offer something like the flagship of the Y6 line with a manual, but few of its real-life equivalents offer one, so kudos to you for making a self-shifter optional - if it is ever available at all. However, 5.6 degrees of body roll is quite frankly unacceptable, although it can be fixed with stiffer springs, dampers and anti-roll bars (but not too stiff, obviously). Also, a wagon should have five seats, not four. Other than that, it’s a decent choice for anyone looking for a fast wagon, with a handsome front-end treatment.
As for the Y3 RS, it’s very quick off the mark thanks to its AWD system, but the fuel consumption is higher than it would usually be for a hot hatch, primarily because feeding a low-displacement engine with large amounts of boost will cause a significant decrease in efficiency. And the red accents seem overdone when combined with the excess chrome. Nevertheless, it’s a promising start for the model line.
Thanks for mentioning it, I totally overlooked the body roll and it will be fixed in a facelift. By giving it a manual, we achived the relative low price. A sequential version will be available (for a little bit more money) soon after the release of the stock Y6. You are right with the seats, but we build it as a four seater, because the Y6 actually wasn`t planed to be a wagon at all, but we wanted to give the costumers what they want (at least in some parts of europe, where nearly 80% of the wagons will be sold), five seats might be a option for a facelift. Thanks, that was our wish!
Moving on to the Y3 MaSport RS, I agree that the fuel economy isn`t the best, because we focused (maybe to much) on the performance, I will try to do it better on future cars. We thought about the red accents and offer them as a optional, free feature.
Thanks for the feedback!

Is Mashimitsu working on a Hypercar?
Some people spotted a hypercar with a Mashimitsu badge driving around the area of Mashimitsus european headquaters in Germany! They took some photos and posted it on the internet. After asking Mashimitsu Motors, they only said that there might be something coming soon! Later we found a picture of a prototype called YRx.
Mashimitsu YRx
After some rumors about a hypercar from Mashimitsu, they released the stats and some pictures of the all new YRx
The new hypercar will be equiped with a 1011hp V12 engine, that will blow your mind away (in a positiv way!).
The cars price is 210.000$
This is nuts! It’s a pity it weighs so much; >2 tons is a lot of mass for a hypercar. Luckily it has no shortage of power, but I would have preferred it to use full carbon-fiber construction to save weight and improve performance even further. A car with this much performance should not have much steel in its structure, only composites and light alloys. And it might be too fast for its gearbox - a dual-clutch would have been more appropriate. Also, would it have been possible to mount the engine longitudinally? If so, would it have provided any benefits over the transverse configuration it currently uses?
What kinda disappoints is the acceleration dynamics. I mean yeah, the cornering isn’t going to be great, under 1g for 2 tons is understandable, but 3.2 seconds while AWD is surprising, I was expecting something about almost a second quicker. Also that braking distance O.O
The car does show promise though… perhaps a tuning kit is in order 
The body this car uses is known to have… issues. Namely if you look at the zoning, the body box is a) twice the size of the car b) as much below the ground as it is above. This is why a) it’s several hundred kilos heavier than you’d expect it to be b) it has ridiculous cornering despite being a bus, its center of gravity is ground level.
Would love for this to be fixed (by vmo) so we can get some proper figures.
So that’s the other reason why it weighs more than it should… but the use of a steel chassis only makes it worse. As I have previously stated, using all-carbon construction would mitigate this drawback, but not eliminate it entirely (and also increase the cost massively).
Edit: It weighs less now, and has improved performance and handling as a result - just as I expected.
I inproved the YRx, hope it matches the expectations now 
You can be one of the first ones to drive it, just come to the Mashimitsu stand at IAA 2017 Frankfurt, take part in our contest and be one of the first 5 people to drive the Mashimitsu Y5 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife!
more informations will be given to you at the Mashimitsu stand at IAA!

2008-2014 Mashimitsu Y2
The 4th gen Y2 was well known for its polarizing design that surprisingly sold well everywhere!
The Y2 Base
The entry level car was the Y2 Base, that was equiped with a 1.0l i3 petrol engine, that was co-produced with Kishiwo, as the whole Y2 is the 2nd generation that came out of the Mashimitsu Kishiwo cooperation with its twin Kishiwo Yuno! The little engine produced 72.5 hp which led to a not so surprising 0-100 kph time of 14.0 seconds and a topspeed of 176 kph. With a mileage of 6.2 litres it wasn’t the best aswell. But thats what the Y2 stood for. As the slogan said: “nobody is perfect, even we are not, but the new Y2 is close enough!”
the Bases interior was equiped with 5 seats, only the front ones having electric windows (back windows + 300$), no radio, no AC (500$), four cupholders, two tone (black + exterior colour) seat fabric and panels, 4 Airbags and even the base had a overall good crashtest rating (Good IIHS, 5 stars EuroNCAP)! Every Y2 had ABS, Power steering, Traction control and ESP without any extra costs.
The stats of the Y2 Base:
The Y2 Bright
The Mashimitsu Y2 Bright is the middle spec and was the best selling Y2 over the years. It was equipably with a 110 hp 1.6 i4 petrol or the 72.5 hp 1.0 i3 petrol engine, nearly all off them, where sold as the 110 hp version, because the price difference only was 500$. The 1.6 i4 needed 10.4 seconds to reach a 100 kph and the topspeed was 197 kph. The mileage wasn’t that good: 7.7 litres, but it sold like a king, beeing the best selling sub compact in europe from 2008 to 2010 and japans best seller of 2008 (it was the first Mashimitsu to beat Saminda for the best seller crown in japan ever!) The Hokkaido prefecture is full of this generation Y2.
The interior was equiped with 5 seats (what a surprise), optional heated front seats (500$), AC, a radio, 4 elecrtic windows, a optional sunroof (900$), removable backseats (850$). It also featured a 6 Airbag system.
Mashimitsu Y2 Bright stats:
The Y2 Lux
The Lux is as the name says, luxorious version of the Y2, beeing offered with the 110 hp NA or the 140 hp turbocharged version of the 1.6l i4 petrol engine. The 140 hp engine could go 212 kph and took 9.1 seconds to reach 100 kph. The mileage was given at 8.1 litres.
It was equiped with 5 leather seats, AC, heated front seats (backseats +500$) , a navigationsystem (produced by Kishiwo), electric windows, electric mirrors and elecrtic adjustable seats. It featured 6 Airbags and it even drove on alu wheels.
Mashimitsu Y2 Lux stats:
The Y2 Base started at 9990$, the Y2 Bright at 11990$ and the Y2 Lux at 14500$.
