The nature of sports cars resided in the driving spirit that pursues unrestrained handling and fancy footwork. Enjoying driving itself is the concept of AEROSA.
Sports car have unchanging spirit, "sport." The environment surrounding cars is kaleidoscopically changing, and people's needs for cars are also changing drastically. We believe the nature of sports cars will not change.
AEROSA is not a car for a racing driver to demonstrate his driving technique in a limited space a circuit but a car for an amateur driver to bring out the best of his and the car's ability so that he can enjoy controlling his car.
