Not likely to be making any tollway races anytime soon. Not only does it have a mere 45HP, but the 360 isn’t exactly made of the strongest materials and a gentle breeze could probably knock it over. Built by the students of the Saitama Institute of Automotive Technology, it is the latest in a line of project cars shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon over the years. The SAIT, or Saijidai in Japanese, is a Senmon Gakkou, which is like a cross between a vocational college and a technical high school. The students graduate with something along the lines of an associates degree in automative technology, and clearly, they’ve got some chops ...
