the Mustang I was a mid-engined speedster, employing the front-wheel drive setup and moving it behind the driver. The engine was the strange 1.5-liter V4, which powered several European Ford models and the Saab Sonnet. It produced between 55 and 65 horsepower, but for the Mustang I, it was tuned to 90 horsepower, which was enough considering the car was only 1500 pounds.

The car was setup as a speedster, with a minimal windshield, hideaway headlights, and the spare tire mounted in the pointed nose. Styling inspiration came from the P-51 Mustang fighter plane from WWII.

Almost as bad as how they looked in the mid 90's.

One of the only a very very few vehicles ever to use the V4 engine. Well....motor bikes use them, but for cars, the list is quite short.
I also like it. :)
/edit
The profile of that thing reminds me of the Mach 5 from speedracer lol

I'm not gonna lie I didn't even realize that.

I thought a lot of the Japanese 4 cylinders were V4s but I guess they're inline 4's..

I can't into cars I guess.

There have only really been a handfull of v4's produced.

My personal favorite is the Saab Sonnet V4. Sounds nice.
