Daihatsu Charade. Trailblazer for four-stroke three-cylinder engine

Nowadays the choice of cars with a three-cylinder engine is extensive. Downsizing - with or without the help of a turbo engine - has been topical for several years. However, the three-cylinder four-stroke engine is not a phenomenon that has emerged as a fairly fresh development within the automotive industry. In the autumn of 1977, the Japanese Daihatsu launched the Charade, which was the first car in the world to have a three-cylinder four-stroke engine in the front.
