STORY

The Minica, Mitsubishi's kei car, first appeared in October 1962. Its best-known version is the Dangan ZZ of 1989, built on the sixth generation: a 550 cc three-cylinder turbo with five valves per cylinder, which Japanese writers call the first five-valve engine in a mass-produced car. It made 64 PS, the same figure as its rivals and the voluntary ceiling for kei cars that began with the Alto Works. In 1990 the kei class moved to 660 cc, and the 550 cc Dangan ZZ was in production for about a year and a half.
