Sakura Automobiles

1971 Sakura Empress (E110) P (J)

Introduced in 1971, the E110 Empress was the replacement for the E10 Empress. It featured the ShO8 inline 4, yet again, but had the addition of Mechanical Injection, as an experiment into new fuel delivery technology. It was an average seller, with the lack of performance not outweighing the luxuries and comfort. It sold for $10,724 (Modern Equivalent)



1975 Sakura Empress (E110) GTT (J)

The 1975 E110 Empress marked an early refresh for the model. It added the GTT Trim, and a brand new engine, the ShS12. The GTT (Grand Touring Turbo) features the MT-E110 version of the ShS12, a Mechanically Injected Turbo Charged engine, being the first Turbo car to come out of Sakura. It, like the E10 GTS before hand, was also purely a Coupe model, and featured an Optional two-tone paint. It sold for $14,995 (Modern Equivalent)
