Isuzu 4200R

It is notable that while being a mid engine car, it was designed to accommodate two adults and two children and to be practical enough to use for long drives.

The 4200R had active suspension developed in conjunction with Lotus which balanced both control stability and ride quality.

Isuzu also prototyped a 3.5L V12 DOHC engine, and performed test drives with it mounted in a Lotus F1.

However, in 1993, Isuzu ceased the development and manufacture of all small passenger cars, and has focused only on commercial vehicles since 2002.
