Beautiful example of MOPAR might, but when I see the letters 'CMP', this is where my mind goes:

Datsun Baby was an “automobile for children” in a Kodomonokuni park, inaugurated in 1965 in Yokohama city. Nissan designed Datsun Baby based on “Cony Guppy” of Aichi Machine Industry, manufactured 100 units mostly by hand work, and donated them to provide children with knowledge about automobiles and promote road safety.
Despite a children's car, it was a real automobile with highly technological structures such as a gasoline engine at midship, torque converter AT with 2 pedals and 4-wheel independent suspension. It was also equipped with the speed limiter that cut off the engine at 30km/h.

I had to know what that orange one was....
1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero
BERTONE
"Rearview" mirrors, tiny little things hidden in the side scallops at the front edge of the side window glass, could be supplemented, when the prototype made rare road excursions, with an "interior" rearview mirror that mounted on a pedestal atop the car, at the back edge of the windshield/door. What it needed was cameras.
The Stratos project did not start out as a Lancia commission—Bertone simply borrowed the Fulvia drivetrain because A) it fit the project's packaging needs and, B) it was a sales tool, a calling card to say, "Look what we can do with your hardware." It worked; Bertone got the contract to design the landmark competition rally Stratos, one of the wedgier shapes ever to come off an assembly line. But it was nowhere near as extreme as the HF Zero.
