【狂気の360cc】ダイハツが生んだ40馬力のバケモノ!「ZM型エンジン」の伝説と開発秘話

This video delves into the history and development secrets of Daihatsu's water-cooled, two-stroke, inline two-cylinder "ZM-type" engine, which fought its way through the fierce "horsepower race" during the early days of Japanese motorization. This extraordinary engine, which produced an astonishing output of 112.4 horsepower per liter within the limited constraints of a mere 356cc displacement, is a true marvel. From its fierce battles against powerful rivals like Honda, Suzuki, and Subaru, to its eventual demise due to stringent emissions regulations, and its unexpected success overseas (in tuk-tuks), this video compiles the passionate drama of the engineers involved.
