Found this pic on the web. Looks enormous compared to the cars in the picture in the lower right corner.

Ha, in 1958 when Nissan sent some scouts to the USA, they ran their little Datsun up and down the interstates in Southern California for testing. You see at that time Nissan had no test track, apparently there was none in the entire country of Japan. Nor any public road suitable for high speed testing. So they had to test it in the field so to speak.
Look how it has changed ...

Something to be said for doing the road tests on an actual road. Since they can see if they'll get killed trying to get on the freeway in a tiny underpowered car.
