The car had a mid mounted 1.6 litre engine from the GT-R version of the Bellett powering the rear wheels. Inside the car was a two seat sports affair, and being Japanese is was right hand drive. In 1970 Isuzu presented a second MX1600 concept car, the imaginatively named MX1600-II. It was only subtlety different from the 1969 model, mainly in the front end styling.
