研ぎ澄まされた五感の延長
“Engineering is the art of sharpening the soul.”
THE PUREST EXPRESSION OF PERFORMANCE.

Longitudinal Chassis
Helical Geared LSD
6-spd Manual
Semi-Active Dampers
Our expertise will always be the longitudinally-mounted RWD architecture, prioritizing soulful driving
characteristics over industry-standard cost-cutting trends of FWD transverse layouts. Built on our advanced
high-strength steel chassis, it achieves very high chassis rigiditycompared to others in its segment,
whilst extra engineering attention was placed on a 55/45 weight distribution, far surpassing the nose-heavy
balance of our competitors. This longitudinal layout also afforded extra space in the front, enabling full
double wishbone suspensions at the front, and a multi-link setup at the rear. With semi-active
dampers and active swaybars, a sporty or comfortable ride can be easily achieved through different modes.
Our signature 6-speed manual transmission lives on in the midst of a sea of automatics and dual-clutches,
allowing you to be directly engaged with the engine and power delivery, with a full 7,500 RPM
rev range with a flat torque curve. Our helical-geared LSD also allows engaging corner entry and exits.

Compact Premium Hatchback
(The best compact premium hot hatchback in its segment, featuring a unique RWD longitudinal chassis platform and a 6 speed manual, whilst still maintaining amazing fuel economy of 6.5L/100km and an insane 4.3 seconds 0-100km/h sprint. It also looks fantastic, very sharp yet practical for daily activities.)
