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 made the Unipower sports car. The car was designed by Quasar Kahn a French-Vietnamese designer and engineer.

The car had a unique appearance, being cubelike and making use of sliding glass doors. It is probably unique amongst car designs in being wider than it is long. The seats were plastic and inflatable. The engine used was a four cylinder 1100 cc BMC model with automatic transmission. Modified Mini subframes carried the suspension components and Mini 10 inch wheels were used.
