LC10 was the original name given to a series of very small three-cylinder, two-stroke engines built by Suzuki Motor Corporation in the 1960s and 1970s. They were used in a number of kei class automobiles and light trucks. The LC10 and its derivatives did not completely replace the FE and L50 two-cylinders, which continued to be used mainly for light commercials. The LC10 engine was developed together with the Suzuki B100 engine, a 118.9 cc single-cylinder motorcycle engine which shared the same bore and stroke. For longevity and convenience, the LC10 received Suzuki's new "Posi-Force" auto-lubrication system, eliminating the need for pre-mixed fuel. ==LC10== The engine was first seen in air-cooled form, equipped with three Mikuni VM carburettors, in the 1967 LC10 Suzuki Fronte 360. Displacement was , from a bore and stroke of 52.0 and 56.0 mm.〔Ozeki, ''Suzuki Story'', p. 28〕 Originally developing , a SS version soon appeared, with a stunning 101.1 PS/L.〔Ozeki, ''Suzuki Story'', pp. 34-35〕 For the conventionally laid out Fronte Van, Estate, and Custom a single carburettor version was used. Combined with a lower compression rate of 6.8:1, this meant a max power of . For 1971, the LC10 engine received Suzuki's new self-lubricating "CCIS" system (Cylinder Crank Injection and Selmix). In 1969, Japanese racing car manufacturer Nialco built a single-seater called the RQ which utilized the triple-carb LC10 engine and competed in the RQ ("Racing Quarterly") Minicar Racing Tournament.〔Ozeki, ''Suzuki Story'', pp. 48–50〕 Their best result was a fourth in the 1969 meet at Fuji, with Kikuo Kaira (future co-founder of Tommy Kaira) at the wheel.
