Autozam AZ-1

The Autozam AZ-1 is a mid-engined kei sports car made by Autozam (Mazda) in Japan from 1992 to 1994. Its weirdest quirk: It has gullwing doors, on a car that weighs about 1,590 lb (720 kg) and has a 657cc engine.

A mid-engined supercar shrunk to kei-car size, with gullwing doors and a Suzuki turbo three behind the seats. Mazda sold it through its Autozam brand.
