In 1960, a small four-seater micro car rolled out of the state-of-the-art factory with innovative computer-aided production management. Mazda’s very first passenger car was soon known as "Mazda’s Coupe" thanks to its smart style. Loaded with the cutting-edge technology at that time, including luxury 4-cycle engine and extensive use of light alloy to reduce body weight, the Mazda R360 Coupe came with an amazing price tag of just 300,000 yen. This car definitely contributed to helping many Japanese consumers’ dream to have their own car come true. From three wheels to four wheels, moving away from trucks to passenger vehicles, the R360 Coupe is the symbol of Mazda’s early development as a car company.

Whenever I drive from Hiroshima to Okayama to visit my grandparents, the R360 Coupe had always been my partner on the road.
For a long time, my dream was to buy and drive the Porter Van. Meeting with other fans and owners to celebrate the 50th anniversary is a wonderful memory that I will never forget.
Since I discovered the CX-8, I began to deeply appreciate Mazda’s manufacturing philosophy.
