Overview
The Autozam AZ-1 (known by the framecode PG6SA) is a sports car which was manufactured by Mazda from October 1992 to October 1994 and sold under its Autozam brand. Suzuki provided the engine as well as the inspiration for the design. It is a two-seater kei car with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and gullwing doors. Power came from the same Suzuki-sourced 657 cc turbocharged engine used by the Suzuki Alto that produced 64 PS at 6,500 and 85 Nm at 4,000 . The top speed was electronically governed to be 140 km/h.

Check before you buy
- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Inspect for corrosion at sills, floor, subframes and suspension mounts, and replace perishable rubber (hoses, bushes, boots) at import.
