[Sports-type mini vehicle that attracted attention with its full equipment]
--In 1970, the R-2SS was added as a sports type of the popular Subaru mini vehicle R-2.
――The engine was equipped with a Solex type 2-barrel carburetor, which was the first for a mini vehicle, and it became a big topic.
--In addition, the air-cooled 2-cycle 2-cylinder engine with a displacement of 356cc has been increased from 30 horsepower to 36 horsepower by changing the inside of the cylinder with special plating and the muffler. The suspension has also been strengthened.
――The Subaru R-2SS, which was suitable for the catch phrase [Hard Mini] at that time, caught the hearts of many young people as a sports-type mini vehicle.
