Mr. Seiichi Inagawa made a huge contribution to the growth of the new Kei format mini-cars, which had to meet a number of tough regulations and predetermined specifications with his fellow engineers, he succeeded in bringing the FF ‘Suzulight’ to life, as well as the Suzuki Fronte, powered by a three-cylinder two-stroke engine that drove the front wheels. He also entered motorcycle and car races with the wisdom of an engineer, and made a remarkable impression on our automotive industry. In recognition of these great achievements, the Japan Automotive Hall of Fame is honored to induct Mr. Seiichi Inagawa into the Hall of Fame.
