History
Honda N360
The N360 was Honda's breakthrough automobile, applying motorcycle engineering principles to create an advanced, efficient kei car. Its front-mounted air-cooled engine and front-wheel drive layout maximized interior space while the high-revving twin-cylinder unit delivered peppy performance. The N360 became Japan's best-selling car, moving Honda from motorcycle specialist to major automobile manufacturer. Its success financed Honda's expansion into larger cars and international markets, making it one of the most historically significant Japanese vehicles.
