From Concept to Production
The Lastun began as a concept in 1984 and entered production a short time later at Timișoara's Întreprinderea de Autoturisme. Its production run spanned the mid‑1980s to the early 1990s.
A Name That Means ‘House’
Manufactured by Tehnometal in Timișoara under the Dacia brand, the model’s name “Lăstun” comes from the Romanian word for house, reflecting its role as a modest, home‑oriented city car.
Compact Design and Tiny Powertrain
Offered as a 3‑door hatchback between 1988 and 1991, the Lastun was powered by a 499 cc (approximately 500 cc) two‑cylinder air‑cooled engine that produced 22 HP, making it a low‑cost solution for urban mobility.
