In-game description[]
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
The Subaru 360 made its debut on March 3, 1958, and came out on the scene as an ultra-compact car using an RR layout, weighing in at 385 kg. The Subaru 360 continued to evolve as years passed, and the affordable price tag was its ticket to tremendous popularity. However, rivals inevitably close the gap as time goes by. Though the subject was a compact car, a power war began. In response, Subaru's 360 added a sports version as its top model, a product of feeding back into market cars the knowledge gained in action at the Japan GP and at rallies. This was the Young SS model, appearing in November 1968. This Young SS used an SU model Solex twin for the carburettor, and increased the compression ratio to 7.5. This boosted the maximum output to 36ps/7000rpm, compared to the normal model at 25ps. The maximum torque was an impressive 3.5kgm/4500rpm. The numbers do look small, but convert it for numbers per litre and you have a unit producing 100ps. The suspension had a trailing arm on the front and a radius arm on the rear, with drum brakes both front and rear. The improvements are not only mechanical. The visual effect attained a sporty look, with perfect ambiance. But its life span was surprisingly short, it was only produced for 10 months.
