"K-car is short for Kei Jidousha, which is Japanese for "light vehicle". By regulation they must be less than 4.4 metres long and 1.5 metres wide (smaller than a Mini), have an engine less than 660cc and be no more than 64 horsepower." (I could've sworn that it's 68hp instead) Anyway, only the vans are in the K-car category. The other vehicles are just sub sub compact cars. The link is below Japanoid Website
Wrong information. The K-car regulation is... length: less than 3.40 m width: less than 1.48 m height: less than 2.00 m http://www.keikenkyo.or.jp/05/05_02/05_02.html Ken@Japan
It is 64PS(pferdestrake:French) and 64 X 0.9863 = 63.1HP(horse power:English). We have a lot of interesting K-cars here in Japan. For example... Fancy open two seater called Daihatsu Copen. http://www.daihatsu.co.jp/showroom/lineup/...copen/index.htm Simple single seat truck called Dihatsu Midget. http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/DAIHATSU/MIDGETII/ Smart-K by Daimler Chrysler. http://www.smart-j.com/lineup/k/ Enjoy, Ken@Japan
