1995 Subaru Sambar EFI Dias Supercharged Glass Roof 4WD PW PS AC 5MT: the background

Enthusiasts nicknamed the rear-engined Sambar the "agricultural Porsche", and the joke does real work: rear engine, rear drive, four cylinders, independent suspension all round. Putting the engine under the bed was a deliberate load-carrying decision: on a kei truck the difference between empty and laden is enormous, and the engine acts as ballast over the driven axle when the bed is empty. Subaru gave the Sambar four-wheel independent suspension from the very first 1961 model, at a time when Japanese passenger cars mostly did without it — struts at the front, semi-trailing arms at the rear.

Mechanical specification of this Sambar EFI Dias Supercharged Glass Roof 4WD PW PS AC 5MT

Power comes from the EN07Y, a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder unit. Subaru mounted the EN07 transversely under the floor at the very back, reached through a hatch in the bed and a cover in the rear bumper rather than from inside the cab. Behind the Grey/Silver bodywork sits a manual gearbox.
