History
_-_Daihatsu_P-5.jpg)
The P-5 was an updated version of the P-3, but featured a bigger 1.3-litre
Tokyo Motor Show in October 1967 as the Daihatsu P-5X.[2]
Two P-5s were entered in the
1000 km of Suzuka in 1968, finishing third.[1] It was then run in the Japanese Grand Prix again, which was held at Fuji Speedway; the No.15 car won its class, and finished tenth overall.[4] Toyota bought Daihatsu in 1969, but the car was used one last time; it finished second in the 1000 km of Suzuka that year.[1]
