The Hino Contessa 900 Sprint is a compact car that was produced in Japan by Hino Motors from 1961 to 1964. The car was designed by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti and was marketed as a luxury car.
The Hino Contessa 900 Sprint was powered by a 0.9L four-cylinder engine that delivered 60 horsepower. The car was available in both sedan and coupe versions and had a top speed of 100 mph.
The exterior of the 1962 Hino Contessa 900 Sprint was characterized by elegant lines and a sporty appearance with a long hood, short deck, and swept-back roofline. It featured quad headlights, chrome accents, and a distinctive grille.
The interior of the car was spacious and comfortable, with a high-quality finish and a range of features such as power windows, adjustable front seats, and a heating system. The dashboard was fitted with a speedometer, tachometer, and other gauges.
The 1962 Hino Contessa 900 Sprint was well-received by consumers for its performance, excellent handling, and reliability. It was also affordable compared to its European counterparts. However, Hino stopped producing the Contessa 900 Sprint in 1964 due to low sales and a shift in focus towards commercial vehicles.
