Photo Gallery «Torn at the straps - DAF Daffodil in a historic test»
The truck manufacturer from Eindhoven had not yet hit the bull's eye with the DAF 600 in 1959. Although the idea of the Variomatic was good, its implementation in the passenger car was not yet fully developed. This changed in 1961 when the revised successor, the Daffodil, was launched. With its continuously variable belt transmission, the 26 hp little car offered the driving comfort of a large American, at least in city traffic. This historical test report explains how the Variomatic works and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the DAF Daffodil.
