描述
Power, acceleration and top speed are not exactly areas where this car excels in. The "Vertex Deriva" will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8.5 seconds, quite decent but not exceptional. It will reach a top speed of 195 km/h, which, again, is quite adequate but not outstanding. The noteworthy characteristic of this car is that it weighs a mere 980 kilograms. Combine that with the acceptable 132 horsepower that its normally aspirated, straight-four, 1.6 litre engine develops and you have the perfect package to have fun with. This lightweight car has just enough power and torque, 149 Newton metres, to provide a reasonable driver with the best opportunity to enjoy a well controlled slide or drift. And, it is for this well known factor that the "1986 Hashimoto Vertex Deriva" has gained a legendary status, not only in Japan but worldwide.
