Daihatsu Mira TR-XX

The Daihatsu Mira TR-XX represents the peak of kei car performance from the early 1990s bubble era. Featuring a sophisticated DOHC turbocharged inline-3 with intercooler, viscous-coupled 4WD system, and aggressive aero package, it was built to compete with the Alto Works. The ultra-rare Avanzato R variant with its limited production run has become a holy grail among kei car collectors. Its combination of cutting-edge technology in a tiny package exemplifies Japan's engineering prowess during the economic boom.
