QFC17 - Kei car (Results out!))

1998 Mara Zora 0.6 9V Turbo AMM

Shortly after the release of the 2nd generation of Mara’s city car - the Zora / Zorya - in the mid 1990s Mara discovered that the car dimensions would also (almost) fit the kei car regulations.

In response, they hastily de-bored and de-stroked their Triyka I3 engine to a bit over half capacity in order to comply with the engine regulations as well.

To help sales, Mara’s performance division AMM took care of developing a (sort-of) sporty version, painted in their signature yellow. Among other things, they put a functional turbo on the engine, and non-functional vents below the front license plate.
