Automotive milestones

rules are simple, name a year, car then the feature of it like speed records, safety advancements, and more!
I'll start:
1933- first car with FWD: Citroen Traction Avant
1997- first car with a backup camera: Isuzu VeHicross

 

1978: Saab 99 is first mass produced turbocharged car

 

*screams in 2002 turbo, corvair turbo, olds rocket*

 

2002 was limited run, corvair turbo was a limited run, olds rocket is an engine.
What's your point?

 

1931 - DKW F1 is the first FWD car (take note @TheMultiTuber™ )
1950 - Lancia Aurelia is the first V6-powered car
1991 - Toyota Soarer is the first car with backup camera (take note @TheMultiTuber™ )
1995 - Mitsubishi Diamante is the first level 1 autonomous car
2001 - Renault Laguna ll is the first car to get a 5-star EuroNCAP rating

 

1960-first "kei" car: Mazda R360
1899-first electric car: baker electric
1997-first mass produced hybrid vehicle: Toyota Prius
1936-first diesel powered car: Mercedes-Benz 260 D

 

I’m being generous with “mass production,” but 10,000 units is still a lot.

 

according to wikipedia about half a million 99t's were sold

 

Wikipedia tells me 588K of 99s were manufactured, I seriously doubt Turbos make up that much. And what's the point? Mass production is always mass production, no matter the exact number.

 

• 1971 Zastava 101 - first modern compact hatchback
• 1977 Lada Niva - first unibody offroader
• 1981 Mercedes-Benz S-Class W126 - first car with airbags
• 1984 Jeep Cherokee XJ - first modern SUV

 

Autobianchi Primula/Simca 1100 (depending on criteria), 1974 C-Body GM cars, Jeep Wagoneer:

 

Corvair Monza Turboair was a mass produced model, but not may were bought because of Nader.

 

A 1965 book damaged the sales of a 1962 car?

 

It never sold well in the first place, but all Corvair sales fucking tanked after the Mustang came out and Nader's book came out a year later.
Also the F-85 Olds engine was mass production, but again, not many were sold. And the turbos blew up if you didn't replace the "Turbo-Rocket" fluid.

 

I thought the engine would knock itself to death if you didn’t.... It was methanol if I’m remembering correctly.

 

Well, that too.
