Daihatsu CUORE I

The DAIHATSU CUORE I (L55, L60) is a compact hatchback that was produced from 1980 to 1985. This small car is perfect for city driving, making it easy to park and maneuver through tight streets. Its front-wheel drive system helps in maintaining good traction, especially in urban environments. The CUORE I is known for its practicality and efficiency, making it a popular choice for those looking for a reliable city car during its production years.

Under the hood, the CUORE I features a 0.5-liter petrol engine with the engine code AB 30. It has two cylinders and two valves per cylinder, delivering a modest power output of 27 PS or 20 kW. The engine uses either an intake manifold injection or a carburettor for fuel delivery. Despite its small size, the car is quite efficient, though it does not include a catalytic converter. The braking system is hydraulic, and it lacks modern features like ABS or ASR, reflecting the technology of its time.
