This model was known as the Mitsubishi 500 Super DeLuxe. The succeeding Colt 600 used a great deal of the 500 Super DeLuxe's underpinnings, including the engine and layout. The Mitsubishi 500 was never a Kei car : Kei regulations at the time of introduction mandated an engine no larger than 360 cc, which remained the limit until it was raised ...
The Mitsubishi 3G8 engine is a range of three-cylinder powerplant from Mitsubishi Motors, introduced in the fifth generation of their Mitsubishi Minica kei car.In common with other contemporary engines in the class, it could be specified with many advanced technologies despite its diminutive size, including multi-valve cylinder heads and double overhead camshafts.
The torque tube consists of a large diameter stationary housing between the transmission and rear end that fully encloses a rotating tubular steel or small-diameter solid drive shaft (known colloquially in the U.S. as a "rope drive" [1]) that transmits the power of the engine to a regular or limited-slip differential.

Mitsubishi's smallest powerplants, most commonly found in their earliest models in the 1960s: 1955-1962 — ME7/15/18 — This was Mitsubishi's first air-cooled OHV engine over one liter's displacement. In 1955, the 1276 cc ME7 was developed for the 1.5-tonne (3,310 lb) Mitsubishi TM7.
A drive shaft system weighs more than a chain system, usually 0.5–1 kg (1–2 lb) heavier. Many of the advantages claimed by drive shaft's proponents can be achieved on a chain-driven bicycle, such as covering the chain and sprockets. Use of lightweight derailleur gears with a high number of ratios is impossible, although hub gears can be used.
The 4A9 is Mitsubishi's first four-cylinder engine family to adopt a high-pressure die-cast aluminum block. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] All engines developed within this family have aluminum cylinder block and head, four valves per cylinder , double overhead camshaft layouts, and MIVEC continuous variable valve timing (intake only).
RR layout. In automotive design, an RR, or rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout places both the engine and drive wheels at the rear of the vehicle. In contrast to the RMR layout, the center of mass of the engine is between the rear axle and the rear bumper.
The Mitsubishi 3A9 engine is a range of all-alloy three cylinder engines from Mitsubishi Motors that were jointly developed with 4A9 engine family. They were introduced in the 2003 version of their Mitsubishi Colt supermini , and built by DaimlerChrysler -owned MDC Power in Germany (previously a joint venture).
