The Subaru 360 gets a lot of praise as being the first massively successful car in the Japanese market, as important as the VW Beetle was for Germany and the Model T was for the US. The 360 Young SS had the massive historical achievement of being the first Japanese car to make 100 horsepower per liter. That’s a power-to-displacement ratio at the time only seen on the Ferrari 250 GTO. Not only that, but the ladybug SS could also go triple the national speed limit at the time, topping out at 75 mph.
