The Quasar-Unipower was a box-like car produced in limited numbers between 1967 and 1968 by Universal Power Drives of Perivale, Middlesex, England, who also built the Unipower GT sports car.
Designed by Quasar Khanh, a French-Vietnamese designer and engineer, the car used plastic inflatable seats, a glass roof and sliding glass doors, in a cube-like configuration that was wider than it was long. The Unipower employed a four-cylinder 1100 cc BMC engine with an automatic transmission. Modified Mini subframes carried the suspension components and Mini 10 inch wheels were used. The car had a top speed of {{cvt|50|mph|kph|0|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29u543fIX5g |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/29u543fIX5g |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|title=Glass Car Aka All-Glass Square Car (1968)|website=YouTube |date=13 April 2014 }}{{cbignore}}
