Japanese maker Carter has unveiled the GOAT180, a three-seat minicar that can be driven on a regular AT-only car license. It runs a 180.4cc engine with CVT and falls under Japan's minicar category, exempting it from vehicle inspections and garage certification. Pricing is set at ¥990,000 including tax, with the first batch expected to arrive around November 2026.

Look at the spec sheet: 180.4cc paired with a CVT is exactly the kind of combo that gets me. The older APtrikes lineup was also drivable on a regular license, but GOAT180 stepping up to three-seat capacity is what's new here. Squeezing it into the no-inspection, no-garage-certificate minicar category shows they thought the regulatory angle through as much as the engineering.

Three-up seating makes me worry about center of gravity and crosswinds

Three-wheel minicars have always drawn stability debates

No inspection or garage cert for ¥990k isn't bad once you count upkeep

¥990k could buy a used kei car, honestly that's steep
