I have the NY Times article right here. This car wouldn't pass any western safety or emission standards.

It features:
- a 35HP (max) engine
- no radio, power steering, power windows, or AC
- an instrumental panel that displays only speed, fuel, and an odometer
- one windshield wiper
- wheel bearings that are rated for 70 kph
- headlights that don't adjust to the car's load
- a 'continuous variable' transmission instead of a manual or automatic
- a trunk that can hold a briefcase
