More than a set of wheels.
Honda presented the N360 in 1966 and began Japanese sales on 6 March 1967. The team designed outward from a usable four-seat cabin, pushed the wheels toward the corners and used front-wheel drive to keep the mechanical package short. Its high-revving air-cooled twin and 313,000-yen price helped expand Japan's kei passenger-car market.
Look a little closer.
Honda designed the tiny cabin first, then packed its motorcycle-inspired engine and front-wheel drive around the people.

Design from the cabin outward
Honda treated room for people as the fixed requirement and shrank the machinery around it. Front-wheel drive, a short engine bay and wheels near the corners turned a tiny legal footprint into a usable four-seat car.

The 354 cc twin produced peak power at 8,500 rpm, far higher than most ordinary family-car engines. Air cooling and eager revs reflected Honda's motorcycle knowledge, while the body and front-drive layout showed the company learning how to package a mass-market car.
