"Are you indecisive? When presented with a choice, do you collapse into a nervous heap on the floor? Seragi has just the thing to make your life even worse. The '62 Lyra is a compact sports coupe - named after the binary star system Beta Lyrae - which was available in FF, FR and RR layouts. This degree of option-availability quickly proved to be prohibitively expensive, extremely complex and very poorly thought out. Weren't the 60's just fantastic?"
Built between 1961-68, the Seragi Lyra was an attempt by Seragi to please everyone. This meant it was available, as previously stated, in front-engine - rear-wheel drive, front-engine - front-wheel drive, and rear-engine - rear-wheel drive. While it might seem like a smart idea to have so many options, it quickly became apparent to Seragi that designing and building all the different models became exceedingly expensive. This resulted in the rear-engine - rear-wheel drive model being cancelled in 1963, while the rest of the lineup trodded onward.
The front-engine - front-wheel drive Lyra became well-liked for it showing excellent handling and ease of use.
The front engine - rear-wheel drive Lyra became the most popular model, being sporty, fun and most importantly, cheap.
The rear-engine - rear-wheel drive model was expensive and overcomplicated, but is a lot of fun with its rear-heavy layout.
Then, in 1964...
Even if you're indecisive, there is no question when it comes to what all enthusiasts really want - more performance. The Lyra "Extra" features beefed up lowered suspension, increased output to a massive 120 horsepower, lightened components, big yellow foglights and a rockin' paint job. Don't worry - you can still have it in both FF and FR configurations.すごい!!!
In 1964, Seragi introduced the Lyra Extra, available with a front-engine layout and either front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. This version, with an increased horsepower output to 120, sits much lower, rides harder and is much more sharp overall. While the rear-wheel drive model is a blast, the front-wheel drive model is the real ace fighter, having incredible cornering abilities.
